"Happy" is the second single by American R&B singer Ashanti from her debut album. Released on May 21, 2002 (see 2002 in music), it was written by Ashanti, Raymond Calhoun and producer Irv Gotti. The song contains a sample of Gap Band's "Outstanding," written by Calhoun. Happy reached number eight on the US Billboard Hot 100 and number six on the Billboard Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart. The single became Ashanti's fourth top ten hit on both charts. Worldwide, the single reached the top 10 in the Netherlands, the top 20 in Ireland, New Zealand, and the United Kingdom, and the top 40 in Australia, France, Switzerland, and Walloon Belgium.
