Pharrell made the world “Happy” in 2014 with this feel-good anthem. The song soared to #1 in 35 countries—it was the best selling song of 2014.
Pharrell wrote and produced “Happy” for the soundtrack of Despicable Me 2—it also became the lead single of his second studio album, G I R L. The song appears in a scene in the film where the lead character Gru dances through streets with joy because he has fallen in love.
Pharrell told W Magazine that “Happy” came after he unsuccessfully pitched Despicable Me 2 producer Chris Meledandri on some other songs he’d written.
