Song |
"Happy" is a song performed by American singer and producer Pharrell Williams from the Despicable Me 2 soundtrack album. It also serves as the lead single from Williams' second studio album, G I R L (2014). The song was written and produced by Williams. It came out on November 21, 2013, alongside a long-form music video. The song was reissued on December 16, 2013, by Back Lot Music under exclusive license to Columbia Records, a division of Sony Music.[1]
"Happy" is a neo soul and funk song on which Williams' falsetto voice is comparable to Curtis Mayfield. The song has been highly successful, peaking at number one in the United States, United Kingdom, Australia, Ireland, New Zealand, and 19 other countries. It has sold over 1.3 million copies in the United Kingdom, and has reached the summit on three separate occasions, both records in their own right.
Background
Williams provided vocals for French duo Daft Punk's 2013 album, Random Access Memories. After returning from the Paris recording sessions, he attended a meeting with record label managers who said that the results were "spectacular" and that "Get Lucky" would be Daft Punk's next single. They also made Williams an offer to record his own album, to which he agreed quickly, "overwhelmed that someone wanted to know what's in my heart."[3] Williams originally wrote the song for Cee-Lo Green and felt Green's recording of the song was better, but his record label decided against it since he was on the verge of releasing a Christmas album.[4]
On December 17, 2013, it was announced that Williams had signed to Columbia Records and would release his second studio album in 2014.[5] In December 2013, press release Rob Stringer, Chairman of Columbia Records, said, "When we excitedly partnered with Pharrell in January of this year, we felt it was his time again. Since then, 'Blurred Lines' and 'Get Lucky' have defined pop music in 2013, and now we are preparing to launch Pharrell as a global solo superstar in 2014. 'Happy' is just the beginning."[5]
Composition
"Happy" was written and produced by Williams, with backing vocals by Rhea Dummett, Trevon Henderson, Ashley L. Lee, Shamika Hightower, Jasmine Murray and Terrence Rolle.[6] The track was digitally edited and arranged by Andrew Coleman and Mike Larson, who also recorded it with assistance from Matthew Desrameaux at Circle House Studios in Miami, Florida. The song was later mixed by Leslie Brathwaite at Music Box Studios in Atlanta, Georgia.[6]
"Happy" plays for 3 minutes and 53 seconds[1] in common time and at a tempo of 160 beats per minute.[7][8] It is a neo soul and funk song in the key of F minor. Williams sings the upper notes in falsetto; his vocal range spans from F4 to C6.[8][9] His singing on the track has been compared to that of Curtis Mayfield.[9][10]

Renowned for Sound | [12] |
Rolling Stone | [9] |
The song received positive reviews from music critics. Months prior to its release, Jody Rosen of Rolling Stone gave it 3.5 stars and deemed it "an instant contender for 2013's Song of the Summer".[9] In a 4/5 review, Renowned for Sound's Huw Woodward said, "Happy is a rather… well… happy affair with a cheerful beat and exuberant vocal that would indicate that the former N.E.R.D singer is finding a lot of lighthearted fun to be had in both music and life. 'Because I’m happy, clap along if you feel like happiness is the truth' sings Williams as the jaunty rhythm gets your head nodding."[12] Holly Williams of Contactmusic.com gave it four stars, praising it for being "unbelievably catchy" and "the kind of song that makes you want to dance and sing along".[11]
Accolades
The song was nominated for Best Original Song at the 86th Academy Awards on March 2, 2014, but lost to "Let It Go" from Frozen.[13] Afterwards, when GQ magazine asked Williams "how badly" did he want the Oscar, he responded: "When they read the results, my face was...frozen. But then I thought about it, and I just decided just to...let it go."[14]
Chart performance
In October 2013, a month prior to its release, "Happy" catapulted to number-one on the Dutch Top 40 chart in the Netherlands, partially as a result of radio station 3FM airplay and subsequent online downloads, as well as featuring in a Transavia commercial.[15] It was released worldwide on November 21, 2013. As of April 10, 2014, after 35 weeks in charts and still in the top 15, "Happy" is the most successful song in the Dutch Top 40 of all time.[16]
"Happy" reached the top of the US Billboard Hot 100 for the week ending March 1, 2014, giving Williams his fourth Hot 100 number-one single, but the first as lead artist. It took twelve years and a week (as the issue date is March 8, 2014) to have his first Hot 100 topper as a lead artist.[17] The song remained at number one the following week, and also topped the Hot 100 Airplay chart.[18] The song also holds the record for the second-highest audience peak for a week on the Hot 100 Airplay, with 225.9 million impressions while "Blurred Lines", a song Pharrell was featured in, holds the all-time record.[19] The song remained at the No. 1 position longer than any other song in the calendar year, to date. The single passed its 4 million sales mark in April 2014, the first song of 2014 to do so.[20] On the week of May 17, 2014, John Legend's "All Of Me" pushed "Happy" down to the number 2 spot after having remained at number 1 for 10 consecutive weeks.[21] "Happy" became the 28th song in the history of the chart to reach this milestone.[22] It has sold over 5.4 million units as of May 17.[23]
On the New Zealand Singles Chart, "Happy" debuted at number eleven on December 23, 2013. The next week it moved to number two. Then on January 6, 2014, "Happy" began a 12 week consecutive reign in the number one position, right up until March 24, 2014. It then dropped to number two for one week, then spent a further three weeks at number one, bringing the total number of weeks at number one to fifteen, breaking the 36-year long record for most weeks spent at number one, previously held by Boney M.'s Rivers of Babylon.[24][25]
The song also topped the charts of 22 other countries, including Australia, Austria, Canada, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Poland, Spain and the United Kingdom. It has spent twelve weeks (including seven consecutive) at number one in Ireland,[26] making it the third song in less than a year to spend more than seven weeks at number one, after Robin Thicke's "Blurred Lines" (which Pharrell also featured on) and Avicii's "Wake Me Up!".
In the United Kingdom, "Happy" debuted outside the Top 70 of the UK Singles Chart on December 1, 2013. It then spent several weeks climbing before finally charting at number one on January 4, 2014.[27] It became Williams' third number one single in this country.[28] It has since spent four non-consecutive weeks at number one, reaching the peak on three separate occasions. In doing so, Williams became only the third artist ever to achieve this, and the first since Guy Mitchell did so in 1957 with "Singing the Blues".[29] Following the single's third week at number one, it spent five weeks in the top three before returning to the summit, boosted by his performance at the 2014 BRIT Awards. In the same week that "Happy" returned to number one for the third time, it sold its millionth copy in the UK, Williams' third in under a year, having previously done so with Daft Punk's "Get Lucky" in June 2013, and Thicke's "Blurred Lines" in July 2013. This made Williams only the second artist in UK chart history (the first being The Beatles) to have three singles sell 1 million copies in under a year,[29] as well as only the third artist ever to have three million-sellers, along with The Beatles (who have six) and Rihanna (who has four).[29] As of March 31, 2014, "Happy" has sold over 1.23 million copies in the UK.[30]
Music video
To coincide with the single release, the website 24hoursofhappy.com was launched featuring a visual presentation of "Happy" advertised as being "the world's first 24 hour music video". The video consists of the four-minute song repeated with various people dancing around Los Angeles and miming along. Williams himself appears 24 times on the day-long video, once at the start of each hour. There are a number of celebrity cameos in the video, including Whit Hertford (1:04am), Kelly Osbourne (1:28am), Magic Johnson (5:36am), Urijah Faber (8:36am), Sérgio Mendes (10:32am), Jimmy Kimmel (11:48am), Odd Future (1:48pm), Steve Carell (5:08pm), Jamie Foxx (5:28pm), Ana Ortiz (5:32pm), Miranda Cosgrove (5:40pm), Gavin DeGraw (5:44pm), and JoJo (6:16pm). There is an interface to share the moment with friends and families [31] The minions from Despicable Me 2 make several appearances throughout the film, including one scene at 3:00am, in which Pharrell and the minions dance in a movie theatre that is playing the scene from Despicable Me 2 in which "Happy" appears. A lone, one eyed minion also appears dancing to song in its entirety at 4:40pm. The 24 hour music video was shot by steadicam operator Jon Beattie with an artemis Cine HD-steadicam-system by Sachtler / Curt O. Schaller.[32] The site allows users to navigate to various points in the 24-hour timeframe, including all 360 four-minute segments and each hourly segment with Pharrell. An official four-minute edit of the video was also released on YouTube, and has over 242 million views as of May 17, 2014.[33] The video's creative director was Yoann Lemoine.[34]
The 24-hour music video for "Happy" was projected at the Buenos Aires International Festival of Independent Cinema in April 2014.[35]
The original video spawned many cover videos on YouTube in which people from different cities throughout the world dance to the song. Those videos are usually called "Pharrell Williams – Happy – We Are from [name of the city]".[36] As of May 2014, more than 1,500 videos had been created. Inspired by this global phenomenon, a French couple launched a website wearehappyfrom

In December 2013, Conor Maynard released a cover of "Happy".[38] A few days later Angel also made a cover of the song.[39]
In February 2014, the song was licensed by Fiat for use in the spot worldwide.[40] The song is used in the commercial titled “Mirage” playing in the background which features Sean "Diddy" Combs.[40] The song appeared in a Beats by Dr. Dre commercial in 2014.[41]
In March 2014, Daniel Evans, a finalist on the fifth series of The X Factor, made an a cappella version with a little help from his six-year old daughter.[42] Pentatonix released a cover in the same month.[43] The song was covered in the 100th episode of Glee, entitled "100", as performed by Holly Holliday (Gwyneth Paltrow).[44] In the battle round of season six of NBC's The Voice, Josh Kaufman and Austin Ellis sang the song for Team Adam Levine.
In April 2014, the Embassy of the United States, Yerevan, Armenia released a video titled "Happy Yerevan", directed by Artyom Abovyan featuring US ambassador John A.

The video soon became viral in Albania and caused controversy over the usage of images of Albanian former dictator Enver Hoxha.[47] John Butler Trio made a funky acoustic rendition of the song on Triple J radio.[48] Naturally 7 and Van Halen's singer David Lee Roth sang the song backstage.[49] In the same month, late-night talk show host Jimmy Fallon impersonating Vladimir Putin and Sarah Palin performed an instrumental rendition on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.[50]
In May 2014, a group of Iranian fans who created a tribute to "Happy" were arrested.[51] According to the a police chief, the song represented vulgarity and also hurt public chastity. Later the Iranian president, criticized the arrest saying in his tweet - "#Happiness is our people's right. We shouldn't be too hard on behaviours caused by joy." The dancers, along with the director,[52] were later released.
