10 Best Happy Music Tracks 2019

From time to time, you’ll create content that’s designed to make your customers happy. It might be for a celebration, a cheery ad, or an uplifting look back at an event. Whatever the content, you’ll be needing a happy music track to pair with it: this list has got you covered.

Happy music tracks are pieces of stock music that use bright chord progressions, playful, sometimes energetic beats, and friendly instrumentation. Some tracks can seem bubbly and innocent, featuring instruments like ukuleles, glockenspiel, and an electronic clap pattern. They can feel summery, using bright chord patterns, punchy drums, and warm synth lead lines. And, they can even feel modern, and corporate with resonant guitar, a soft drum beat, and warm synth chord progression. Whether you prefer electronic, jazz, folk, or even epic music, each genre will have a happy option to make your audience smile.

If you think about it, a lot of the videos we spend our time watching rely heavily on music. Whether they’re feature films, or  YouTube videos, chances are music has been added to help establish a mood, and help the audience connect to the action. Combined with your other content, including visuals, and other audio, like voiceovers, high quality music can help tie your production together, and significantly lift the quality of the end product.

Beyond helping communicate the emotions behind your content, including a music track is useful at a really practical level, helping to smooth out rough parts of your production. For instance, if you’ve edited together your voiceover, and there are a few parts where you can hear the clipping, or there was background noise in the area you recorded, having a layer of music can make those oversights less obvious and less distracting.

Which brings us to today’s list of the 10 best happy music tracks. These run the gamut of pop and festive music, to folk, and corporate tracks. So, no matter what you’re creating, this list will have something to help you make a video that’s happy and uplifting.
