"Happy" is a song written and performed by American singer, musician, and composer Danny Elfman. It was released by Anti- on October 29, 2020.[2][4] The single is Elfman's first solo pop release since the 1984 album So-Lo.[5]
In a statement, Elfman said, "I originally wrote 'Happy' to perform at Coachella 2020. It was written to be an absurd anti-pop song, designed to begin as a very simple pop tune that degrades into something more subversive. The cynical nature of the lyrics echo how I feel about living in a semi-dystopian world turned upside down."[6]
This should not be confused with Elfman's 1987 song of the same name, which was included on the soundtrack to the film Summer School.[7]
