This song is about the toxic positivity that we see in the world. It can also refer to how famous stars (Ex: Actors) are forced to put on a smile when it comes to being on the red carpet. They never get to show their genuine emotions. If they did, it’d be rare.
[Intro]
Hey, put on a happy face
Then everything's okay
Put on a happy face
[Verse 1]
Flip the switch, flip the stove
World gone mad, let's start the show
Get your kicks and let's go
If you're sad, don't let it show
Say, "I'm happy, I'm happy, I'm happy today"
I'm happy, I'm happy, I'm happy today
They say, "Put on a happy face"
'Cause we're tick-tock, tick-tock
Ticking like a time bomb
[Chorus]
Hey, put on a happy face
Then everything's okay
Put on a happy face
Hey, put on a happy face
Then everything's okay
Put on a happy face
[Verse 2]
Say you're good, say you're fine
Tell 'em everything's alright
Hollywood on your timeline
Telling you what to wear and what to like and how to be
Say, "I'm happy, I'm happy, I'm happy today"
I'm happy, I'm happy, I'm happy today
They say, "Put on a happy face"
'Cause we're tick-tock, tick-tock
Ticking like a time bomb
[Chorus]
Hey, put on a happy face
Then everything's okay
Put on a happy face
Hey, put on a happy face
Then everything's okay
Put on a happy face
[Bridge]
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah
Death of my generation
Death of my generation
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah
Death of my generation
Death of my generation
[Chorus]
Hey, put on a happy face
Then everything's okay
Put on a happy face
Hey, put on a happy face
Then everything's okay
Put on a happy face
