Yungblud had joined forces with Bring Me The Horizon frontman Oli Sykes on his latest single ‘Happier.’ The two previously collaborated on the track ‘Obey,’ taken from Bring Me The Horizon’s 2020 EP ‘Post Human: Survival Horror.’
About the song, Yungblud shares: “I have almost been conditioned by myself my whole life to be in pain. When I’m in pain I work better. I function better because I have something to combat. It’s dark but it’s all I’ve ever known. The feeling of happiness is scary because you feel like it’s all about to go wrong. I have always felt that if I’m happy I’ll get complacent so it’s lost me a lot of opportunity for friendships and relationships in the past.”
He continued: “I got really emotional when writing this. I was craving another Yungblud song that would burn in my stomach, make me feel like it’s all gonna be okay, encourage me to fight back against old habits, and try my best to realign myself to be better. It’s okay to find happiness, it’s okay to feel it. I hope you find a little bit of it in this song. You deserve it. Everyone does.”
