Using soft melodic synths paired with a pounding bass, “Happy Now” not only hits hard on the emotions, but with the carefully calculated instrumentals. This new single expresses the emotions one has during a turning point in their life, as you look back on the bittersweet past, but also celebrating a rejuvenating future.
