“Happy now” is Kygo’s return to his roots. The track is filled with the familiar sound of uplifting piano and guitar. The drop is similar to Kygo’s debut studio album Cloud Nine songs, but there’s an extreme uniqueness in the sound that adds to the quality of the song.

In “Happy Now” the singer can’t believe, that his love is gone and then he realizes that it doesn’t mean the end of his happiness, so he decides to move on and enjoy life.

Kygo debuted the live version of this song along with Sandro Cavazza at the 2018 iHeartRadio Music Festival in Las Vegas on 21 September 2018. The song pays homage to now deceased artist Avicii who was a collaborator with Sandro with song “Without You” being one of Avicii’s most popular works.
