James Wimbley’s I’m Enough Finds Strength in Vulnerability

I’m Enough by Nashville-based 14-year-old artist James Wimbley is as much a confession as it is a reassurance.

Built around gentle acoustic guitar and understated melodies, the song moves at a steady pace, letting each word settle.

His voice is soft, raw, and unguarded with a warmth in his delivery, that keeps the track from sinking into sadness.

“This song is about my past experience not fitting in and the bullying that accompanied it,” Wimbley explains.

“I want people who have felt left out or been bullied to listen to my song and realise that it’s okay to be different and to celebrate it.”

That perspective shapes every line. “Looking in the mirror but all I see / Is someone I don’t know staring back at me” lands with palpable ache.

The repeated refrain, “It’s okay not to be okay,” doesn’t try to fix anything—it just acknowledges the feeling, which is sometimes enough.

Despite its themes of self-doubt and isolation, I’m Enough has a bright, uplifting tonal quality that gives it an optimistic feel. 

The melody has an infectious appeal, the kind that gets stronger as you listen to it.

Wimbley doesn’t just share his struggles—he offers something to hold onto, a quiet reminder that being yourself is enough.

There’s no overproduction, no unnecessary flourishes. The song stays true to its message, letting honesty take the lead.

James Wimbley I’m Enough Lyrics

Nooo mm
I’m so sick and tired 
Tryna be someone else
That’s not myself 
cause I’m living a lie 
I’m losing my mental health
My mental health 
And I’m losing my mind 
Trying to find 
Somebody who wants me for me 
Cause I’m enough
I’m enough, I’m enough 
No

Looking in the mirror, but all I see
Is someone I don’t know 
Staring back at me 
No no, no ah
Thoughts inside my head
That I’m tryna say
Deep down, I know no one’s listening
Oh no
But it’s ok not to be ok

No oh oh oh 
Oh oh oh oh
No
And it’s ok not to be ok 
Oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
Oh
And it’s ok not to be ok

Don’t wake up every morning 
Feeling like you owe someone something
No, no
Cause it messes with your self-worth
And it hurts 
Trust me I know firsthand 
It’s the worst 
But you’ll be okay 
If you be yourself 
And not someone else 
Just love yourself 

Looking in the mirror but all I see
Is someone I don’t know 
Staring back at me 
No, no, (no, no,) oh no, (no no)
Thoughts inside my head
That I’m tryna say
But deep down, I know no one’s listening 
Oh no 
But it’s ok 
Not to be ok

Oh oh oh oh
No oh oh oh
Oh
And it’s ok not to be ok
Huh huh huh huh
Woah oh oh oh oh
No

Looking in the mirror but all I see
Is someone I don’t know 
Staring back at me 
Oh no oh no
Thoughts inside my head
That I’m tryna say
Deep down I know 
No one’s listening 
Oh no 
But it’s ok 
Not to be ok

No oh
Huh oh
Huh oh
But it’s ok
Not to be ok
