Upon release, many music journalists lauded "Happier Than Ever" as an album highlight. Critics praised Eilish's vocal performance, which they perceived as cathartic and louder than her previous work, as well as its rock-infused production. Multiple publications such as Billboard, Pitchfork, and Rolling Stone listed it as one of her best songs to date. At the 64th Annual Grammy Awards, it received four nominations, including Record of the Year and Song of the Year. It won Song of the Year at the 2022 MTV Video Music Awards. "Happier Than Ever" peaked at number 11 and number 6 on the US Billboard Hot 100 and Global 200 charts, respectively.

The music video for "Happier Than Ever" premiered the same day as the single's release. In it, Eilish performs the song through a telephone conversation, after which she climbs a rooftop and dances in the rain. She performed the song live on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, Jimmy Kimmel Live!, and Saturday Night Live in 2021, and at the 2022 Coachella and Glastonbury festivals. Eilish included performances of it in a concert film and a world tour in support of the album.

Background and development

edit

Billie Eilish won five awards at the 62nd annual ceremony of the Grammy Awards for her debut studio album When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go? (2019) and its single "Bad Guy".[3] An avant-pop album with a horror-like atmosphere and whispery vocals,[4][5][6] it debuted atop record charts in various countries and brought Eilish to mainstream fame.[7][8] Her soft singing style became recognized as her signature sound.[9][10]

In a January 2020 interview, Eilish stated she would begin working on her second studio album during the year.[11] Her brother Finneas O'Connell confirmed this during a March 2020 interview, stating that it would be "pretty pure in its intention" and something that they would appreciate making and performing live.[12] Eilish released the singles "My Future" and "Therefore I Am" in 2020.[13][14] Eilish confirmed in February 2021 that she had worked on 16 tracks for the project, and she cited self-reflection and life during the COVID-19 pandemic as her biggest inspirations.[15] During a cover story for Rolling Stone, she prefaced that "almost none of the songs on this album are joyful".[16]

"Happier Than Ever" was the first song Eilish and Finneas wrote for her second studio album of the same name, initially titled "Away from Me".[17] In the summer of 2019, after completing the American leg of her When We All Fall Asleep Tour, Eilish flew to Middelfart with Finneas. They wrote the melody for the song's first chorus on a cheap $80 guitar, and a lyric about a situation Eilish was going through: "When I'm away from you, I'm happier than ever." The two picked the song back up eight months later upon beginning work for the album, and completed it in May or June 2020. Finneas wanted the style to be dynamic and propel Eilish's emotionality instead of overshadowing it. He used plugins to add texture to the acoustic intro of "Happier Than Ever", and Eilish digitally edited her own vocal takes for its vocal programming.[18][19]

The song was first used in the 2021 documentary film Billie Eilish: The World's a Little Blurry, where its lyrics "when I'm away from you, I'm happier than ever, wish I could explain it better. Wish it wasn't true" were revealed.[14] During an interview with NPR, Eilish commented that it was one of the most important songs she had written. She explained that the recording process felt like finding the best way to tell a person something she wished to tell them for a while: "You don't really know what you want to say or how to say it — and then maybe you have a conversation with somebody else, or you think a little bit about it, and you figure out what it is..."[20]

Composition and lyrics

edit
 
"Happier Than Ever"
"Happier Than Ever" is a power ballad. In the third verse, the song transitions from a bass instrumentation into a distorted rock production with crashing snare drums and electric guitars as Eilish sings cathartically.

"Happier Than Ever" is a sentimental power ballad.[21][22] Music journalists classified it as emo, pop-punk,[23] and "almost blue-eyed soul".[24] Others wrote that the song incorporates arena rock,[25] alternative rock,[26] and grunge elements.[27] Billboard writer Glenn Rowley described its musical style as "genre-shifting".[28]

"Happier Than Ever" runs for 4 minutes and 58 seconds.[29] The song opens with sparse acoustic instrumentation,[30][31] as Eilish sings softly over a classical guitar.[32][33] The bass in its second verse evokes annoyance according to MTV News's Athena Serrano.[34] Around its third verse, "Happier Than Ever" transitions into a distorted pop-punk and rock production.[34][35][36] During the stylistic change, crashing snare drums and electric guitars can be heard in the background.[37][38] In an act of catharsis, Eilish continues the song by yelling some of its lyrics to express her pain,[39][40] with a multitracking technique applied to her voice.[41]

Multiple critics noted that Eilish's screams and Finneas's rock-infused production marked a significant departure from both of their previous musical styles.[9][25][42] Lindsay Zoladz of The New York Times wrote that "Happier Than Ever" showcases Eilish at her loudest yet.[22] Eilish described the song: "[It was] probably the most therapeutic song I've ever written or recorded, like ever, ever, ever, 'cause I just screamed my lungs out and could barely talk afterwards, which was very satisfying to me somehow. I had wanted to get those screams out for a very long time and it was very nice to."[43]

According to a comment Eilish made on The World's a Little Blurry, "Happier Than Ever" is about "nothing even specific that they did, you’re just not happy being with them. You can't even explain it".[44] Like other tracks in the album, the song's themes include growing up and healing as time passes.[39][9] The lyrics to "Happier Than Ever" recount Eilish's experiences with an unhealthy, failed romantic relationship.[45][46][47] The track is a "kiss-off" directed at her former partner,[39][48] whom she condemns for committing several misdeeds—gaslighting her,[45][49] showing up late to meetings with her,[49][50] and driving home while drunk.[51][52] The song begins with the gently-delivered lines "When I'm away from you / I'm happier than ever",[35] and it culminates with Eilish shouting "just fucking leave me alone".[53]

Release

edit

Eilish teased an upcoming release in April 2021, posting "things are comingggg" on her Instagram account.[54] One week later, on April 26, she released a 15-second long snippet of "Happier Than Ever" on her Instagram account, featuring visuals of her sitting in a chair with her back to the camera.[55][56] DIY described the clip as "stripped-back", speculating that it is "welcoming Billie's brand new era".[57] The song was released alongside the album on July 30, 2021, as its sixth single.[58] An edit comprising only its second part was released for digital download and streaming on September 4, 2021, and a different radio edit which adds the chorus at the beginning of the song and the build up into the second half solicited to contemporary hit radio in Italy six days later.[59][60]

Reception

edit

Many music reviewers lauded "Happier Than Ever" as the album's standout song.[49][61] Critics who dubbed the song a highlight included Consequence's Mary Siroky,[62] Pitchfork's Quinn Moreland,[63] and Complex's Jessica McKinney.[64] Jason Lipshutz, a staff editor for Billboard, thought that it "best captures the essence of the album" due to demonstrating Eilish's songwriting and vocal talents, which he believed was a defiance of traditional expectations from pop music.[65] In an article for NME, El Hunt argued that Eilish's performance in the song offered powerful emotional impact and proved that her voice had improved throughout the years.[40] Evaluating the album for Stereogum, Tom Breihan opined that "Happier Than Ever" provided it with the "only real moment of greatness, and he lamented that the rest of its tracks were not as vocally loud and cathartic.[66] Insider's Callie Ahlgrim, who dubbed "Happier Than Ever" as the best song in Eilish's discography to date, shared a similar opinion: "Eilish fully casts aside her cool-girl exterior and just f---ing goes for it. I only wish she'd done that more."[67]

The Line of Best Fit's Matthew Kent viewed the transition of "Happier Than Ever" as "the album's biggest surprise", and noted its second part as "not only a highlight of the album but a highlight of Eilish's entire discography thus far", which proved Eilish could achieve pop radio hits if she pleased.[68] Tim Sentz of Beats Per Minute called the song an "'S-tier' level Eilish track", and opined that, while Eilish sounds like she needs an exorcism, it perfectly captures her appeal and personality.[69] Zoladz thought the song is the album's "most exhilarating moment" and a "disarmingly earnest torrent of bottled-up grievances", a full display of Eilish's versatility.[22] Writing for The Guardian, Alexis Petridis deemed "Happier Than Ever" a "discomfiting and alienating" track, which gets nearest amongst the album tracks to replicating the "sonic firework display" of "Bury a Friend" (2019).[41]

In 2022, Rolling Stone and NME ranked "Happier Than Ever" as Eilish's best song ever.[70][71] The former magazine's Brittany Spanos stated that the song is "pure angst and a departure [from her] usually cool-headed" demeanor, and likened its beginning to a lamb and its outro to "a whole pack of lions".[70] Thomas Smith of NME named it "the quintessential Billie Eilish song" and a "crowning glory of a song", which listeners would feel like singing "at the top of [their] lungs", but never quite be able to.[71] For MTV Australia, Jackson Langford honed "Happier Than Ever" as her second-best song and a "volcanic outpour of anger and emotion", noting it replaced any previous release that may have contended as "the song that would define Billie Eilish's artistry and career".[72] Uproxx's Rachel Brodsky placed the song 11th in Eilish's discography.[73]

Music video

edit

Eilish directed the music video for "Happier Than Ever", which accompanied its release.[119] She announced it on Instagram: "This is my favorite ... video ever."[120] The video comprises two parts. In the former, Eilish walks back and forth in a glitzy room and performs the song over a vintage landline telephone, to a former partner. In the second part, she opens the door and water rushes in. It ends with Eilish dancing on the roof mid-downpour and being completely submerged into the water.[21][121] Vulture's Justin Curto described it as "a flood of emotion to match that glorious guitar breakdown".[122] Ellie Robinson of NME praised the video as a "poignant film clip", and Billboard's Hannah Dailey opined its transition encapsulates breaking in the "facade of serenity" and that "instead of cowering there, she embraces the wrath of the storm".[120][61]

Live performances

edit
 
Eilish included "Happier Than Ever" in the setlist for a 2022–2023 world tour in support of the album.

The first live performance of "Happier Than Ever" occurred at The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon on August 10, 2021. Eilish sang in front of clouds and flashing lights that gave the impression of a storm, joined by a drummer and Finneas on the guitar.[123][124][125] She and Finneas reprised "Happier Than Ever" for Jimmy Kimmel Live! on top of The Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel on October 14,[126][127] and at Saturday Night Live on December 11, where they performed it alongside "Male Fantasy" (2021).[128] Eilish was accompanied by the fictional character Count von Count during a numbers-themed rendition of the song for Sesame Street, which premiered on November 9, 2021.[129][130] The following month, she visited the World Cafe radio program to sing "Happier Than Ever" alongside three other tracks from the album: "Billie Bossa Nova", "Goldwing", and "Halley's Comet".[131]

Eilish included a performance of the song in her concert film Happier Than Ever: A Love Letter to Los Angeles, released to Disney+ on September 3, 2021.[132][133] She added it as the final song of the set list of a 2022–2023 world tour, which started on February 3, 2022, in New Orleans, Louisiana, at Smoothie King Center and finished on September 30, 2022, at Perth Arena, in support of the album,[134] and sang the song as a closing number on April 16 for that year's Coachella festival, amid gusts of wind from a dust storm.[135][136] The next week at Coachella, she paired up with Hayley Williams, the vocalist of the band Paramore. Finneas accompanied the two as they performed Paramore's "Misery Business" (2007), followed by "Happier Than Ever".[137] On June 24, 2022, Eilish headlined the year's Glastonbury Festival in the UK, becoming the youngest artist to do so. She concluded her appearance with a live rendition of "Happier Than Ever", accompanied by pyrotechnics.[138][139]

At the 64th Annual Grammy Awards, Eilish performed the song live with Finneas.[140] She began by singing inside an upside-down model of a house, donning a shirt which paid tribute to Taylor Hawkins, who had died earlier in the week. Eilish climbed atop the roof and banged her head while Finneas played the guitar; the performance concluded with thunder and lightning striking as rain poured down the stage.[141] USA Today's Marco della Cava listed it among the night's most memorable moments,[142] and the staff of The New York Times complimented Eilish's vocals and described the performance as "too raw to feel petty", noting that it "injected some much-needed feeling into the first half of the show".[143] On July 30, 2022, in celebration of the album's one-year anniversary, Eilish and Finneas headed for the Amoeba Music record store in Hollywood to perform "Happier Than Ever", along with three other songs.[144]

Cover versions

edit

Kelly Clarkson performed a live cover of "Happier Than Ever" on The Kelly Clarkson Show on September 30, 2021. Its studio version, released on May 25, 2022, was later used as the lead single from her seventh extended play Kellyoke (2022).[145][146][147] Canadian singer Shawn Mendes and Japanese-British singer-songwriter Rina Sawayama covered the song for BBC Radio 1 Live Lounge in 2021 and 2022, respectively.[148][149] Mendes sang its first half with mellow vocals while playing an acoustic guitar, and the rest on an electric guitar with fervid vocal runs and high notes, while Sawayama performed an alt-rock version she described as "a little darker ... [and] moodier" than Eilish's original version.[150][151][152] Black Country, New Road did a cover of "Happier Than Ever" at a concert on September 5, 2022.[153] The song was also covered by Vitamin String Quartet in a classical format, which was later featured in Bridgerton Season 3, Episode 4.
