HappyPharrell Williams
Pharrell Williams, who achieved worldwide breakthrough with collaborations such as those with Daft Punk.
Released in 2013, “Happy” is one of Pharrell’s signature songs and won the Grammy Award that year for Best Pop Solo Performance.
It’s a playful track that could be called an adult version of “If You’re Happy and You Know It.” The song’s cool appeal lies in Pharrell’s smooth vocals paired with a percussive yet unintrusive, smart track.
It’s a fun tune that feels more at home with a patch of blue sky glimpsed between towering city buildings than in the great outdoors.
Suddenly I SeeKT Tunstall
“Suddenly I See,” which became popular as the theme song for the film The Devil Wears Prada, is now practically synonymous with working women.
It’s sung by KT Tunstall, a Scottish singer-songwriter known for her alluring husky voice.
KT Tunstall has said she was heavily influenced by the singer-songwriter she admires, Patti Smith.
In particular, this song was written with Patti—who epitomizes a strong, resilient woman—in mind, and it explores the idea of “female power.” It’s the kind of track that lifts your spirits on a sunny morning commute and makes you feel like your work will go smoothly.

It’s perfect for a sunny day sipping coffee at home, relaxing in a café, watching the scenery roll by on a drive, and, come nightfall, it pairs nicely with a cozy beer or wine moment… a great companion for chilling out in all kinds of settings.

Jackson.” Its light, stylish vibe seems perfect for putting an extra spring in your step on a sunny day.

If It Makes You HappySheryl Crow
A classic released in 1996 by American singer-songwriter Sheryl Crow, which went on to win the Grammy Award for Best Female Rock Vocal Performance the following year.
Its laid-back rock ’n’ roll sound and pleasant guitar tones seem perfect for a sunny-day drive.
The lyrics can be taken as a love song or a life song, the kind that makes you want to gaze at the scenery from a moving vehicle and get lost in thought.
On a nice day, listening to a track like this might be a good way to sort out your feelings.
It’s a song that makes you want to charge ahead, going your own way.
Don’t Stop Me NowQueen
Freddie Mercury’s soaring vocals resound in “Don’t Stop Me Now.” It’s one of Queen’s most popular songs.
Built on Freddie’s driving piano, the bass and drums add even more speed and momentum.
Compared to other Queen songs, Brian May’s guitar is less prominent, but despite its brevity, his uniquely voiced guitar solo really sticks in your ears once you hear it.
It’s a track that makes you feel invincible just by listening.
The lyrics are delightfully over-the-top too, so be sure to check them out!
