Perfectly timed for reflections on the past year and the dawn of a new one, Happiness sets an exuberant tone for the upcoming festivities.

Directed by the talented Edgar Esteves, the accompanying music video captures a cross-generational spectacle of genuine happiness.

In a statement about the collaboration, Sarz remarked “

With Happiness, I aimed to craft more than just a song—it’s a symphony of joy that transcends borders. Collaborating with Asake and Gunna allowed us to tastefully blend genres, creating a rhythmic masterpiece. This track is a celebration of unity, cultural diversity, and the universal language of happiness. I’m excited for the world to experience the joyous fusion we’ve created.

Asake also shared his thoughts on being an integral part of this highly anticipated collaboration. “

Happiness is one of the most important things in life one can ever wish for. A lot of people pay so much for it while others get it for free. Creating a song that could fit in both worlds was magical, and I’m glad I teamed up with Sarz and Gunna to make this a reality. I hope as you listen, you will enjoy and experience true happiness in everything you do as much as we enjoyed creating this masterpiece.
