I'm Travie McCoy of Gym Class Heroes.

Open Happiness was created in the spirit of dedication and collaboration with artists and producers from across the US. It turned Coke’s famous “5-note tune” into a full length song. Butch Walker oversaw the recording of Travis McKoy and Brendon Urie in NYC, Cee-Lo and Janelle Monae in Atlanta, and Patrick Stump in LA. Butch Walker and Polow Da Don came together to mix multiple versions of the single, and add additional recordings. This continent-wide collaboration is now realized in Open Happiness.

VERSE ONE

ahhh..ohhh 
Well hello is this thing on 
Is anybody listening 
A brand new day has begun

The first thing that I want do 
Make sure that you feel it too 
So I’m not the only one

CHORUS

Cmon lift me up (its a brand new day) 
Open up a lil happiness today 
So I can be someone new 
Cmon and lift me up (to a better way) 
Open up a smile on another face 
So I can (feel something new)

Open up some happiness 
Open up some happiness 
Open up some happiness

VERSE TWO

Ahem*Ahem* let me clear my throat 
So you can hear clearly every word spoke 
Today I woke feeling lovely 
Happiness overflowin knowin somebody loves me 
Just think yesterday I was down and out 
Now there’s not a single thing for me to frown about 
And the same thing can happen to you 
Smiling so hard my mouth look like a capital U

VERSE THREE

I want the sun to shine 
All the time
Is that too much to ask 
Oh, I want to have some fun
I want all my friends to come
Cause it’s now or never
Learn the words and sign together

CHORUS REPEAT

Cmon lift me up (its a brand new day) 
Open up a lil happiness today 
So I can be someone new 
Cmon and lift me up (to a better way) 
Open up a smile on another face 
So I can (feel something new)

Open up some happiness 
Open up some happiness 
Open up some happiness

BRIDGE

Your heart deserves your trust 
A choice made for all of us 
The sun will come back tomorrow 
There’s a message in a bottle 
So come on I’ll meet you there 
There’s enough sunshine to share 
As long as you know 
The bridge between us is a rainbow

CHORUS REPEAT

Cmon lift me up (its a brand new day) 
Open up a lil happiness today 
So I can be someone new 
Cmon and lift me up (to a better way) 
Open up a smile on another face 
So I can (feel something new)

Open up some happiness
Open up some happiness
Open up some happiness
