Dua Lipa - "Happy for You"

[Juan Carlos]

Track #11 from her upcoming third album Radical Optimism due out May 3, which was produced by Danny L Harle and Kevin Parker.

[Juan Carlos]

The last track from Radical Optimism due out May 3. Mentioned on both her interviews to Rolling Stone and Variety, being deemed as an updated version of "Cool" by Gwen Stefani by the former back in January.

Another highlight — one of Lipa's favorites on the record — is all about maturity and healing. The dreamy, midtempo track plays out like an updated take on Gwen Stefani's "Cool." In the lyrics, she compliments her ex's new relationship, calling his new girlfriend "really pretty," and she finds peace as he moves on: "I must have loved you more than I ever knew... I'm not mad / I'm not hurt / You got everything you deserve."

And in that first week, even though sonically they're in the same world but they're very different, I wrote "Illusion" and then I wrote "Happy for You" and "Happy for You" is a much bigger ballad, in a way. Somewhat. I wouldn't really classify it as a ballad. Because I don't do songs that are slow and big and emotional, but I just put them in the ballad section, I'm like, I don't do those. But this feels almost in a world where I can really have this epic singing record that I was able to be very vulnerable and open in. But still sonically, it has this tremolo sound that I'm really obsessed with and it's Kevin's voice replicated. We use it as a sample throughout. That was just a moment for me to be really vulnerable and open and honest in what was happening in my life at that point. But I feel overall, in this whole record, I just grew as I was writing. I feel like I matured throughout.

I honestly don't feel the need to revisit any of the new songs yet but this has been on repeat. I need this song injected into my veins. Stunning.

[andrebra]

Yeah I would love her to experiment more in this sound! A perfect closer to the album

[Choco]

Love this

The production reminds me of "Ray of Light". I feel like this definitely lives up to the psychedelic-Pop description she gave the album early on before she sort of abandoned that route overall.

Dua performed this on SNL along with Illusion .on the first day release of the album it had the lowest streams on Spotify though that could be because it is the last track.

[Ling-Ling]

It's a really good closer, love the production on this one.

[beachboi69]

I love this one the vocals the production are top notch. This does sound the most Ray of light of the songs.

[Maximillian]

This has been my standout track on the album

[mcsteamy]

Up there with Physical as my fave Dua song.

I just sent it to my ex and it's just such a beautiful song.

[divasummer]

This song is pretty good.
However I hope it’s not her next single.
Personally I like many more songs on her latest album than this.

[Eloqueen™]

This is easily the best song I've heard from this album.
