Happiness (Vanessa Williams song)

The song samples from Nu Shooz's "I Can't Wait" and Funkadelic's "(Not Just) Knee Deep".

Larry Flick from Billboard wrote "Vanessa getsdown and funky on this peek into Next, a project that has the juice to push her backto the top of da pops.

Bolstered by thekind of finger-poppin' pop/soul groove that producers Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis [..] Williams delivers a performance that is, by turns, playful and sophisticated.

After last year's credible but underappreciated foray into jazz, she's back on the street-and sheappears to be doing it on her own terms.

"[1] An accompanying music video directed by Francis Lawrence was released, and shows Williams singing and dancing across different areas of a mansion.
