The color yellow and Marshmello's logo feature throughout the video, but neither he nor anyone from Bastille appear in the video. The music video focuses on Cosgrove's character.
On September 24, 2018, Marshmello released the official music video through YouTube Premiere, starring Miranda Cosgrove as a teenager who has braces, along with Teala Dunn, Jordyn Jones and James Babson as the father. This was followed by a performance video featuring Marshmello playing various instruments and Dan Smith singing and dancing, both in different frames and only appearing in one at the end of the video. The initially released one was a simple lyric video. Three music videos were released to support the single. Arty is represented by attorney Richard Busch, who had previously represented the Marvin Gaye family in the " Blurred Lines" suit. Alongside Marshmello, other defendants in the case include Daniel Campbell Smith, Steve Mac, and various music publishing companies. According to the suit, it is possible that Marshmello had become familiar with Arty's remix, released in 2014, and had used song elements in his then-upcoming song "Happier," which did not debut until 2015. In May 2019, Russian trance producer Arty filed a lawsuit against Marshmello for copyright infringement, citing that "Happier" stole song elements from Arty's remix of the song " I Lived" by OneRepublic. Lyrically, the song tells "the tale of a love that's over before one party wants to accept it." Billboard's Kat Bein opined that it "sounds a little more like his radio-forward hits." "Happier" is an upbeat pop song that draws elements from pop rock. It's always good to step into somebody else's world for a minute and we're excited to be a part of it." Composition We had a really interesting time getting to work on it with Marshmello who managed to find some euphoria in a pretty melancholy, direct song. "Last year we wrote a song called 'Happier' and everyone got really excited about it so we thought it would be good as a collaboration. "We've been having a great time writing for other artists in and amongst making our Bastille albums and mixtapes," Smith told NME. The song was ranked number 33 on the Billboard Hot 100 decade-end chart of the 2010s, and is the highest-ranking song to not top the Billboard Hot 100 weekly chart.ĭan Smith, frontman of Bastille, had originally written 'Happier'įor Justin Bieber but the band ultimately decided to keep it for themselves.
The song was performed live at the 2018 MTV Europe Music Awards along with another Marshmello song, ' Friends' with Anne-Marie. The song also currently holds the record for most weeks spent at number one on the US Dance/Electronic Songs chart, with 69 weeks as of January 2020. It also logged 27 weeks in the top ten of the Hot 100. It is also Bastille's highest-charting single as well on both charts surpassing their 2013 single " Pompeii"'s number five peak on the Hot 100 and tying at its number two peak on the UK chart. It reached number two on both the UK Singles Chart and the Billboard Hot 100 and is the highest-charting single for Marshmello in both the UK and the US. Written and produced by Marshmello, with lyrics from Dan Smith and Steve Mac, it was released by Astralwerks on August 16, 2018.
