The song was written by Brock Berryhill, Brad Clawson, Greylan James, and Jamie Paulin, and produced by Chesney with Buddy Cannon.

[1] The song spent three weeks at number 2 on the country airplay chart, having been blocked by Luke Comb's "Better Together".

[2] Chesney said: “That line about ‘every pickle jar dollar,’” “that was me in college, playing for tips in this little bar in West Virginia.

The chorus with the rope swing, the palm tree off the rearview mirror, a kiss from someone you love... With all this unknown and all this who knows, it felt like the song people were going to need this summer.

So ‘Happy Does’ is a pretty good post-it note when you’re having a bad day, or even just a day.”[3] ‡ Sales+streaming figures based on certification alone.
