"Happiness" is a song by the English vocalist Robert Palmer, which was released in 1991 as the fifth and final single from his tenth studio album Don't Explain.

[3] As the final single from Don't Explain, "Happiness" saw limited commercial success, failing to chart in the UK and peaking at number 62 in Germany.

"[9] Jon Wilde of Melody Maker was critical of the song, describing it as "a fidgety piece of soft-headed funk that ambles aimlessly all over the knocking shop like an inebriated trollop with obligatory wart on nose".

[10] Accrington Observer gave a three out of five star rating and wrote, "Change of direction, with a pop song that's got an almost calypso feel to it.

"[11] Penny Kiley of the Liverpool Echo described the song as "catchy" and noted the "brash brassy arrangement", "laid-back vocals" and "nice, optimistic words".
