₄ time signature.

Yvonne Elliman, who sang the part of Mary Magdalene on the original rock opera concept albumJesus Christ Superstar^[3] and also in the 1971 Broadway original cast^[4] and1973 film, released a single of "Everything's Alright" in 1971, which reached #92 on theBillboard Hot 100.^[5]

Cash Box said of it that "Yvonne once again reaches into the wealth of material from the Rice-Webber classic and comes up with a winner every bit as strong as her first 'I Don't Know How To Love Him' disk.^[6]

The reprise of "Everything's Alright" is sung by Mary Magdalene to calm Jesus after his intense day of negative events, as he goes to sleep.^[2] The short, 29 second reprise leads into the hit single, "I Don't Know How to Love Him," which is also sung by Mary Magdalene. In the 1973 film version, only the "Close your Eyes" number is sung, omitting the rest of the lyrics, including the line: "I know that I will sleep well tonight", sung by Jesus.
