"It's Not Right but It's Okay" is the title of a song by American singer Whitney Houston, from her fourth studio album My Love Is Your Love. Initially featured as the B-Side of "Heartbreak Hotel," it became the album's third single and peaked at #4 on the US Billboard Hot 100 Singles Chart on July 3, 1999.[1] It was #1 on Billboard's Hot Dance Music/Club Play chart, peaked at #7 on the top 100 Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Singles & Tracks chart, and was certified Gold by the RIAA. The music video was directed by Kevin Bray. Houston won the 2000 Grammy Award for Best Female R&B Vocal Performance for this song. The song reached #3 in the United Kingdom in March 1999 and stayed in the chart for 15 weeks, while also being a hugely popular radio hit there.
The song examines a woman confronting her lover about his infidelity.

The KCC remix was included on the U.S. version of the "My Love Is Your Love" maxi-single and is also available as an iTunes download.
