"Happy Days" is a song recorded by American rock band Blink-182. The song was released on July 1, 2019 through Columbia Records, as the third single from the band's eighth studio album, Nine. The song is a contemplative, up-tempo track regarding personal frustration. It was written by bassist Mark Hoppus, and drummer Travis Barker, as well as producer Tim Pagnotta, and songwriter Sam Hollander. Hoppus developed the song's concept based on his personal struggle with anxiety and depression.
The song's music video was filmed during the COVID-19 pandemic, and depicts the band performing from home under quarantine. It also includes clips submitted by fans on social media doing daily tasks such as relaxing with pets or washing their hands. The video garnered the band two nominations at the 2020 MTV Video Music Awards, their first such nod in nearly two decades. The song received mixed reviews from critics, and only charted in the United Kingdom, where it peaked within the top 20 of the rock charts.
