During an interview with American Towns, Zac barnett says:
‘We Happy’ is our spin on the classic ‘Don’t Worry, Be Happy’ but we wanted to flip it to say we are living our lives & we are happy doing it. Don’t worry about me, I’m happy living my life how I want.
[Verse 1]
I felt lost, head in the ground
Got nervous in big city crowds (Yeah)
But all that changed when I met you
Got off rhythm, lost my groove
Some days my body barely moves
But all that changed when I met you
[Chorus]
Ooh, I got sunshine even on a cloudy day
Don't care what other people say
We happy, don't worry
Ooh, I got sunshine even when it's pouring rain
I'm feeling like a brand new me
We happy, don't worry (Woo)
[Verse 2]
I used to toss and turn all night
Sleep in all afternoon delight (Yeah)
But all that changed when I met you
Yeah, I, I've been waiting all my life
For a chance, for a chance, for a chance to be surprised (Come on)
[Chorus]
'Cause, ooh, I got sunshine even on a cloudy day (Sunshine even on a cloudy day)
Don't care what other people say (Oh, oh)
We happy, don't worry (Ooh, don't worry, be happy)
Ooh, I got sunshine even when it's pouring rain (When it's pouring rain)
I'm feeling like a brand new me
We happy, don't worry (Oh)
[Bridge]
We happy, don't worry
We happy, don't worry (Yeah, yeah)
We happy, don't worry
We happy, don't worry (Ooh)
[Outro]
Ooh, I got sunshine even on a cloudy day
Don't care what other people say
We happy, don't worry
