Lyrical themes
Song titles on the album contain many references to female Biblical characters, though frontwoman Dee Prescott has stated that the album does not have an overtly feminine tone.{{cite web | url=http://www.indiesolo.com/artists/I_Hate_Sally/interview.htm | title=I Hate Sally Interview | publisher=Indiesolo | accessdate=July 27, 2011 | url-status=dead | archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20120328081220/http://www.indiesolo.com/artists/I_Hate_Sally/interview.htm | archivedate=March 28, 2012 }} The album's title is derived from a sound clip between track three and four of a man stating "Don't worry lady, everything is going to be alright now." It is taken from an after school special with a police officer saying the line, a sound clip that I Hate Sally used in live shows before the release of Don't Worry Lady.
