"Happier" is a song by American DJ Marshmello featuring British indie pop band Bastille (especially the voice of frontman Dan Smith).

Dan Smith, frontman of Bastille, had originally written 'Happier' for Justin Bieber but the band ultimately decided to keep it for themselves.

[4] "We've been having a great time writing for other artists in and amongst making our Bastille albums and mixtapes," Smith told NME.

We had a really interesting time getting to work on it with Marshmello who managed to find some euphoria in a pretty melancholy, direct song.

[9][10] Alongside Marshmello, other defendants in the case include Dan Smith, Steve Mac, and various music publishing companies.

[11][12] A federal judge rejected the case in April 2021, stating that Arty had given up ownership of the remix composition in his contract and therefore had no grounds to sue.

[citation needed] On September 24, 2018, Marshmello released the official music video through YouTube Premiere, starring Miranda Cosgrove as a teenager who has braces, along with Teala Dunn, Jordyn Jones and James Babson as the father.

Years pass, the girl grows up to have a daughter, who gets happy when her grandfather gifts her a similar Golden Retriever puppy for her birthday, much to her mother's tears.
