Background 
Edit
Melanie posted on her Twitter announcing her next album, later announcing this song and Sunlight. Happiness is the second song by Melanie not to be about Cry Baby, like PIGGYBACK. She then announced the release dates of these three records, with Happiness's release date being April 13. Melanie also said the reason she picked that particular date was because it would be Friday the 13th, which is usually associated with unhappiness and fear, while Happiness is the opposite: happiness and confidence. Melanie wrote and produced the song by herself.
Theme Edit
The song is about how all of us have struggles, but to make the best of it and be happy.
Lyrics Edit
[Verse One]
Life is beautiful, but we all know
It can be hard sometimes
And even though (oh)
We all have struggles,
We should never let them hurt us
[Pre- Chorus]
All of us,
Have problems to deal with
But it's all part of life
And there's nothing bad with being happy at times
[Chorus]
I see funny cat videos by the beach
I won't stop having a fun time
Even though I have problems
All I feel is happiness
Oh woah, oh
[Verse Two]
Arguments, relationships broken
All the melodrama that goes on the world
Let me tell you this
It's okay to let go of it all, and finally be free and happy
[Pre-Chorus Two]
All of us,
Can fight through our struggles
And even if they don't stop
Just take a breath and be happy
[Chorus]
My friend and I are going through things in life
And I see something so wonderful
Therefore a smile lit my face
And all I feel is happiness
Happiness, happiness, ah ah
[Bridge]
It's all right
Oh, woah
Just don't waste your time
On something like that
And just live life
'Cause you only live once
[Chorus]
We all have to face things in life
Good and bad
But it shouldn't make you stop being happy ever
'Cause all you need to feel is happiness
And all I feel is happiness
[Outro]
Happiness, happiness
Ah, ah
Try to make the best of things
And always try to live life and feel happiness
Happiness
