Allie Sherlock has just released her take on one of the biggest songs of 2025, and “Ordinary” is exactly the kind of track she was made to cover. Fresh on her channel, this performance brings her raw, unfiltered voice to a song that already captured hearts around the world. Watch the full performance below, then read on for the story behind the song.
About This Performance
Allie uploaded this cover to her official YouTube channel in June 2026, making it one of her newest releases. “Ordinary” runs on sincerity rather than spectacle, and that plays straight into Allie’s strengths as a performer who consistently connects with audiences through genuine emotion. She strips the song back to its core and lets the lyric breathe, which is precisely where her voice does its finest work.
About the Song
Alex Warren released “Ordinary” on February 7, 2025, through Atlantic Records as the lead single from his debut studio album You’ll Be Alright, Kid. Warren wrote the song alongside producer Adam Yaron, Cal Shapiro, and Mags Duval during a December 2024 writing camp in Los Angeles. The track carries a simple but powerful message: finding someone who transforms everyday life into something extraordinary. That theme resonated with listeners on a massive scale. “Ordinary” topped the Billboard Hot 100 for ten weeks, ruled the UK Singles Chart for thirteen weeks, and reached number one in over thirty countries, making it one of the biggest global hits of 2025.
Why Allie’s Version Stands Out
The best covers of a song like this refuse to chase the original; they inhabit it. Allie built her following busking on the streets of Dublin because she takes a song everyone already knows and makes it feel personal and immediate. A track about the quiet joy of extraordinary love sits perfectly in that wheelhouse, and her voice-forward, acoustic approach consistently turns pop anthems into something that feels handmade for the listener.
