“Happy” made its first appearance at Oh Wonder’s intimate “secret show” in London on September 5, 2019. It is one of three songs they performed from their third album during the set, along with “Hallelujah” and “Better Now.”
The song describes a turn of events in which someone is happy to see their...
[Intro]
Never thought I'd be happy
Never thought I'd be happy
[Verse 1]
I didn't think that I'd see you here tonight
But there's something kinda nice about it
It's been a year since you gave me back my love
And I wonder how you've been without it
[Pre-Chorus]
You're holding someone close
Should hurt, somehow it don't
I guess that's how I know I've finally let you go
[Chorus]
I never thought I'd be happy to see you with somebody new
Never thought I'd be happy to see you do the things we do
With somebody else, it's like you're more yourself
Oh, I never thought I'd be happy to see you with somebody new
[Post-Chorus]
Never thought I'd be happy
Never thought I'd be happy
[Verse 2]
Spent all my weekends pretending I was fine
Just to get you out my mind for an evening (For an evening)
I used to wish you would never find the one
But it's good to see you loved, let's call it even
[Pre-Chorus]
You're holding someone close
Should hurt, somehow it don't
I guess that's how I know I've finally let you go
[Chorus]
I never thought I'd be happy to see you with somebody new
Never thought I'd be happy to see you do the things we do
With somebody else, it's like
You're more yourself
Oh, I never thought I'd be happy to see you with somebody new
[Bridge]
So many nights of barely sleeping
Wide awake and dreaming
I wanted you back (I wanted you back)
It's clear we're good without each other
Dancing with another
It's better like that
[Chorus]
I never thought I'd be happy
Never thought I'd be happy
With somebody else, it's like
You're more yourself
Oh, I never thought I'd be happy to see you with somebody new
Never thought I'd be happy to see you with somebody new
Never thought I'd be happy to see you do the things we do
With somebody else, it's like you're more yourself
Oh, I never thought I'd be happy to see you with somebody new
Happy was written by Sasha Alex Sloan & Anthony West & Josephine Vander Gucht.
Happy was produced by Oh Wonder.
We wrote this song in Los Angeles with Sasha Sloan, one of our favorite artists and songwriters. It’s about being happy for an ex after they’ve found a new partner. We also made a mad music video for it, which includes us in full prosthetics performing in a nursing home as 90-year-olds.
