It came to me at a time in my life where everything it was saying just made so much sense to me\u2026. The song\u2019s about being OK\u00a0with yourself.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">There&#8217;s a Caribbean feel to the song, which took him out of his comfort zone, but he nonetheless embraces it with gusto. The video shows the Caribbean-y beach theme of the track, although it was shot in Miami in the one day. We see Matt and his lady love break up, but he instead is concentrating on his own personal happiness:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cSince you walked up out my life, I\u2019m all good.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The song is an encouragement to look after yourself, because if you don&#8217;t, nobody else will.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Find Matt LeGrand online on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/mattlegrandofficial\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Instagram<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/mattylegrand\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Twitter<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/MattLeGrandMusic\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Facebook<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/soundcloud.com\/matt_legrand\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Soundcloud<\/a>.<\/p>\n<div class=\"epyt-video-wrapper\">\n<div  style=\"display: block; margin: 0px auto;\"  id=\"_ytid_13119\"  width=\"640\" height=\"360\"  data-origwidth=\"640\" data-origheight=\"360\"  data-relstop=\"1\" data-facadesrc=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/hoVZN8Huq1w?enablejsapi=1&#038;origin=https:\/\/essentiallypop.com&#038;autoplay=0&#038;cc_load_policy=0&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;loop=0&#038;fs=1&#038;playsinline=1&#038;controls=1&#038;disablekb=0&#038;color=red&#038;cc_lang_pref=&#038;rel=0&#038;autohide=2&#038;theme=dark&#038;\" class=\"__youtube_prefs__ epyt-facade epyt-is-override  no-lazyload\" data-epautoplay=\"1\" ><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" data-spai-excluded=\"true\" class=\"epyt-facade-poster skip-lazy\" loading=\"lazy\"  alt=\"Matt LeGrand - All Good (Official Video)\"  src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/hoVZN8Huq1w\/maxresdefault.jpg?w=640&#038;ssl=1\"  \/><button class=\"epyt-facade-play\" aria-label=\"Play\"><svg data-no-lazy=\"1\" height=\"100%\" version=\"1.1\" viewBox=\"0 0 68 48\" width=\"100%\"><path class=\"ytp-large-play-button-bg\" d=\"M66.52,7.74c-0.78-2.93-2.49-5.41-5.42-6.19C55.79,.13,34,0,34,0S12.21,.13,6.9,1.55 C3.97,2.33,2.27,4.81,1.48,7.74C0.06,13.05,0,24,0,24s0.06,10.95,1.48,16.26c0.78,2.93,2.49,5.41,5.42,6.19 C12.21,47.87,34,48,34,48s21.79-0.13,27.1-1.55c2.93-0.78,4.64-3.26,5.42-6.19C67.94,34.95,68,24,68,24S67.94,13.05,66.52,7.74z\" fill=\"#f00\"><\/path><path d=\"M 45,24 27,14 27,34\" fill=\"#fff\"><\/path><\/svg><\/button><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Born in France but moving to Chicago with his family at the age of seven, Matt LeGrand found his musical inspiration and soon learned to play guitar and drums, followed soon after by songwriting, experimenting with bands, and then finding his own sound.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":29411,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"advanced_seo_description":"","jetpack_seo_html_title":"","jetpack_seo_noindex":false,"jetpack_seo_schema_type":"","_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[57,9,640],"tags":[10933,2591,10929,503,128,10932,7060,370,1945,2917,226],"class_list":["post-29410","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-new-artists","category-new-releases","category-videos","tag-all-good","tag-calypso","tag-caribbean","tag-chicago","tag-justin-bieber","tag-matt-legrand","tag-miami","tag-new-single","tag-new-video","tag-nick-jonas","tag-pop"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p5yMhl-7Em","jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":31738,"url":"https:\/\/essentiallypop.com\/epop\/2017\/12\/essential-advent-calendar-matt-legrand-what-christmas-means-to-me-stevie-wonder-cover\/","url_meta":{"origin":29410,"position":0},"title":"Essential Advent Calendar: Matt Legrand &#8211; &#8216;What Christmas Means To Me&#8217; (Stevie Wonder cover)&#8217;","author":"Lisa Hafey","date":"13\/12\/2017","format":false,"excerpt":"We've introduced you previously to French-born Chicago-raised Matt LeGrand, with his single, 'All Good', a track with a Caribbean feel to both song and video.
