The song criticizes the media (that showed East Timor's independence case for a while and then completely forgot about that country, leaving it poor and abandoned) as shown in the phrase "It's alright, they don't show it on TV, so we won't really know it just by watching BC". "BC" are the two final letters of some television networks acronymous, such as NBC, ABC, BBC and CBC meaning "Broadcasting Company/Corporation". Notably, music reviewers describes Timor as the most danceful and protestful song on the entire album.
The song was renamed "It's Alright" in the Indonesian version of the album, because East Timorese independence is still a highly controversial issue. The album cover was also changed in many Muslim nations.
