"Makin' Happy" is a song by American singer-songwriter Crystal Waters, released in 1991 by Mercury and A&M as the second single from her debut studio album, Surprise (1991).

Waters co-wrote it with Neal Conway and Mark Harris, and it was produced by house music production team The Basement Boys.

Alex Henderson from AllMusic complimented the song as a "highly addictive and enjoyable house/neo-disco fare".

"[3] Andy Kastanas from The Charlotte Observer declared it as "a housy tune that's bound to, well, make you happy, what else?

[8] An editor also commented in an album review, "Just repeat the words 'Makin' Happy' endlessly and you'll get a good flavour of 'Gypsy Woman, Part II'.
