Day6 “HAPPY” Lyrics
Hangul
그런 날이 있을까요?
마냥 좋은 그런 날이요
내일 걱정 하나 없이
웃게 되는 그런 날이요
뭔가 하나씩은 걸리는 게 생기죠
과연 행복할 수 있을까요?
그런 날이 있을까요?
꿈을 찾게 되는 날이요
너무 기뻐 하늘 보고
소리를 지르는 날이요
뭐, 이대로 계속해서 버티고 있으면, 언젠가
그런 날이 올까요?
May I be happy?
매일 웃고 싶어요
걱정 없고 싶어요
아무나 좀 답을 알려주세요
So help me
주저앉고 있어요, 눈물 날 것 같아요
그러니까 제발, 제발, 제발요
Tell me it’s okay to be happy
알고리즘엔 잘된 사람만
수도 없이 뜨네요
뭐, 이대로 계속해서 살아만 있으면, 언젠가
저런 날이 올까요?
May I be happy?
매일 웃고 싶어요
걱정 없고 싶어요
아무나 좀 답을 알려주세요
So help me
주저앉고 있어요, 눈물 날 것 같아요
그러니까 tell me it’s okay to be happy
그냥 쉽게 쉽게 살고 싶은데
내 하루하루는 왜 이리 놀라울 정도로 어려운 건데?
May I be happy?
매일 웃고 싶어요
걱정 없고 싶어요
아무나 좀 답을 알려주세요
So help me
주저앉고 있어요, 눈물 날 것 같아요
그러니까 제발, 제발, 제발요
Tell me it’s okay to be happy

Translation
“HAPPY” – DAY6 (English Version)
Is there a day like that?
A day that’s simply good
A day without a single worry tomorrow
A day where I can just smile
There’s always something
That weighs me down
Can I really be happy?
Is there such a day?
A day when I find my dreams
So happy I look up at the sky
A day I can shout out loud
If I keep holding on like this
Will that day come someday?
May I be happy?
I want to smile every day
I want to be free of worries
Please, someone, give me an answer
So help me
I feel like I’m about to break down
Tears are about to fall
So please, please, please
Tell me it’s okay to be happy
Only those who succeed
Keep popping up like an algorithm
If I just keep living like this
Will that day come someday?
May I be happy?
I want to smile every day
I want to be free of worries
Please, someone, give me an answer
So help me
I feel like I’m about to break down
Tears are about to fall
So please
Tell me it’s okay to be happy
I just want to live easily, simply
But why is every day
So surprisingly hard?
May I be happy?
I want to smile every day
I want to be free of worries
Please, someone, give me an answer
So help me
I feel like I’m about to break down
Tears are about to fall
So please, please, please
Tell me it’s okay to be happy
Day6 “HAPPY” Meaning
DAY6’s HAPPY might initially sound like a feel-good anthem, but beneath its upbeat melody lies a deeply emotional journey. Unlike their past lyrics that accepted hardship with quiet endurance—“let’s keep living this way since it’s this tough”—HAPPY dares to ask the harder questions: “Will there ever be a day when I’m just happy? Am I even allowed to be happy?” As the song unfolds, it reveals a raw vulnerability, exploring the fear of embracing joy only to have it taken away, and the deep yearning to escape the weight of everyday struggles.
The track’s bright, melodic arrangement contrasts powerfully with its somber message, and as the members sing lines like “I’m sick of the pain,” their emotional honesty is palpable. But amidst all the darkness, there’s a glimmer of hope—especially in the final chorus, where they declare, “Even if I lose it all, I want to be happy.” According to the songwriter, the track was crafted to remind listeners that they’re not alone in their pain, and that others share similar emotions. As Young K reflected, “I really liked HAPPY. It has an upbeat flow, but it was the saddest track for me to record.” In the end, HAPPY becomes more than just a pop song—it’s a poignant message of shared struggle, quiet resilience, and the courage to keep hoping.
