The music video was filmed in Cuba, and describes a woman who is in love with her friend. The song debuted at number 50 on the ''Billboard'' Hot 100 selling nearly 52,000 copies in the US, while in the UK, "Happy", debuted and peaked at number two, being blocked from the top spot by the song "Meet Me Halfway" by The Black Eyed Peas.

==Background==
"Happy" was written by Lewis, Ryan Tedder and Evan Bogart, and produced by Tedder for Lewis's second album ''Echo''. The song, which is four minutes and two seconds in length,〔 was recorded immediately after it was written. Lewis commented, "The vocal was totally spontaneous. I sang it as soon as we finished writing. Sometimes it's better not to over-think things." In a message on MySpace, Tedder wrote:
"I honestly feel it is the most beautiful song I've ever been a part of. My goal when I started working on Leona's new album was to '()' chase or be influenced by any of her previous hits—or any songs ()'ve ever done with anyone else—including 'Bleeding Love'. True artists do not look back to previous successes; they look forward to creating new moments and songs the world can connect with in a different way. And that is what Leona has done with 'Happy'. I hope () like it as much as we do, and I hope the lyrics hit () as hard as they hit me".
Lewis discussed the inspiration for the song in an interview with ''Entertainment Weekly'': "()e felt like happiness is something everyone strives to have, and sometimes it's not just about being happy, but if you have obstacles in your life that you have to get over to be happy. And it's just about that striving to get there. ()t was kind of like looking back at all of the things I've been through, just kind of putting that into the song." The song was released with two B-sides: "Let It Rain" in Europe and Japan,〔〔 and "Fly Here Now", only in Japan.〔
