Pharrell Williams revealed that 'Happy' was born from sarcasm, created when he struggled to make a genuinely gleeful song for the 'Despicable Me 2' soundtrack.
Williams explained that creating 'Happy' came from asking himself a rhetorical question about portraying overwhelming happiness and responding sarcastically, leading to the song's unique depth.
Although 'Happy' wasn't an instant hit, it achieved remarkable success with over 13.9 million copies sold, highlighting the irony in its creation.
In discussing Frank Ocean, Pharrell emphasized the artist’s extensive creative process, suggesting that the time taken may contribute to the strength of his art.
