"Ordinary" is a song by American singer-songwriter Alex Warren. It was released on February 7, 2025, through Atlantic Records as the lead single from his debut studio album, You'll Be Alright, Kid. Warren wrote the song with producer Adam Yaron, alongside Cal Shapiro and Mags Duval.

"Ordinary" was a commercial success, peaking atop the Billboard Hot 100 for seven non-consecutive weeks and topping the Billboard Global 200 for ten weeks, while reaching number one in over twenty countries. It also peaked within the top ten of the charts in Croatia, France, Italy, Lebanon, South Africa, and Sweden. In the United Kingdom, "Ordinary" became the longest-running number one song on the UK Singles Chart of the 2020s thus far (surpassing "Bad Habits" by Ed Sheeran's 11-week reign in July-September 2021), as well as the longest-running uninterrupted number one song on the UK Singles Chart by an American male artist of all time. The song received a significant boost in streaming, sales, and Shazams after Warren performed it on season 8 of the reality television show Love Is Blind.[2]

Composition

[edit]

The song talks about the feeling of loving somebody "who makes life extraordinary". It was noted for showcasing Warren's ability to translate his emotions "into lyrics and melodies" and created yet another "catchy chorus" in the process.[3]

Music video

[edit]

The music video was released alongside the song on February 7, 2025, and features Warren's wife, Kouvr Annon. He is seen chasing her through different places, including a forest, a beach, and a desert, before they finally catch up. At the end, both levitate towards the sky.[4]
