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.
Happiness underscores Sarz’ influential role in shaping a new musical landscape and contributing to the global rise of Nigerian music, seamlessly blending with various genres.
