"Happy" is a song by American singer Mitski, released in 2016 as the second single from her fourth studio album, Puberty 2.[1][2] A music video for the song was released on May 23 that year,[3][4] which Paste described as "chilling",[5] while Vice called it "anything but happy".[6]

Stereogum wrote "Sonically, the song follows an opposite trajectory, building from eerie metallic clattering and mournful whispers to an exultant explosion of guitar and saxophone. By the end, though, the excitement has died down and the eerie clattering returns, as it always does."[7]
