美國黑人天后［惠妮休斯頓］──英美暢銷曲──節奏藍調／新靈魂舞曲──［Its Not Right but Its Okay／這不對但沒關係］

Friday night you and your boys went out to eat

Then they hung out, but you came home around three

If six of yall went out

Then four of you were really cheap

Cause only two of you had dinner

I found your credit card receipt

Its not right but its okay

Im gonna make it anyway

Pack your bags up and leave

And dont you dare come running back to me

Its not right but its okay

Im gonna make it anyway

Close the door behind you leave your key

Id rather be alone than unhappy

I pack your bags so you can leave town for a week (yes I am)

The phone rings and then you look at me (Whyd you turn and look at me)

You said it was one of your friends, down on 54th Street (boy)

So why did 213 show up on your caller ID

Ive been through all this before

So how could you think

That I would stand around and take some more

Things are gonna change

Cause I wont be your fool anymore

Thats why you have to leave

So dont turn around to see my face

Theres no more tears left here for you to see

Was it really worth you going out like that

See Im moving on and I refuse to turn back

See all of this time I thought I had somebody down for Whitney

It turns out, you were making a fool of me

Its not right, but its okay

Im gonna make it anyway

Pack your bags up and leave

And dont you dare come running back to me

Its not right, but its okay

Im gonna make it anyway

Close the door behind you leave your key

Id rather be alone than unhappy

Its not right, but its okay

Im gonna make it anyway

Pack your bags up and leave

And dont you dare come running back to me

Its not right, but its okay

Im gonna make it anyway

Close the door behind you leave your key

Id rather be alone than unhappy

Its not right, but its okay

Im gonna make it anyway

Pack your bags up and leave

And dont you dare come running back to me

Its not right, but its okay

Im gonna make it anyway

Close the door behind you leave your key

Id rather be alone than unhappy

Its not right, but its okay

Im gonna make it anyway

Pack your bags up and leave

And dont you dare come running back to me

Its not right, but its okay

Im gonna make it anyway

Close the door behind you leave your key

Id rather be alone than unhappy

Its not right, but its okay

Im gonna make it anyway

Pack your bags up and leave

１９９８年１１月　３５歲的美國歌壇天后惠妮休斯頓（Whitney Houston）推出第四張個人大碟［My Love Is Your Love／摯愛］

雖然只登上美國專輯榜＃１３　但在幾首單曲促銷, 惠妮賣力宣傳與巡迴助力下, 最後賣出四白金佳績

１９９９年５月　唱片公司推出第三單曲［Its Not Right but Its Okay／這不對但沒關係］

此曲由LaShawn Daniels, Rodney Jerkins ,Fred Jerkins III ,Isaac Phillips ,Toni Estes譜寫

Darkchild（Rodney Jerkins）製作成一首當代R&B／新靈魂歌曲

１９９８年１２月第二主打［Heartbreak Hotel］發行時, ［Its Not Right but Its Okay］是以舞曲混音附在其混音單曲中

由於R&B電台的強力放送, 加上當時Billboard統計方式改變, 允許沒推出實體歌曲入榜

導致［Its Not Right but Its Okay］在１９９９年１月打入副榜──R&B榜,以緩慢但穩定速度上升,直到７月拿下最高名次＃７

由於混音反應良好　Arista公司在１９９９年５月正式將［Its Not Right but Its Okay］以專輯第三單曲推出

不過主流電台主打的是Thunderpuss Radio Mix, 黑人樂界之外的聽眾熟知的也是這個版本

唱片公司的策略果然奏效

［Its Not Right but Its Okay］登上美國單曲榜＃４　拿到金唱片　成為大碟第二首Top１０暢銷曲

小榜除了R&B榜＃７外　也在舞曲榜封后

MV中,惠妮改以短髮,身著深綠長禮服, 與數名軍裝舞者表演

隔年惠妮便以此曲拿到葛萊美R&B女歌手

國際反應良好：英國榜＃３　賣出６０萬以上　拿到白金唱片

西班牙冠軍　加拿大＃３　荷蘭＃１０　瑞典＃１２　德國＃１４　瑞士＃１８　奧地利＃２０　法國／愛爾蘭＃２１　巴西＃３１　紐西蘭＃３３　比利時（荷語區）＃４０　澳洲＃８８

這是休斯頓在１９９０年代末期的R&B／舞曲代表作之一
