In early 2000, both Roberson and Luckett were replaced with Williams and Farrah Franklin; however, Franklin quit after five months, leaving the group as a trio. Their third album, Survivor (2001), whose themes the public interpreted as a channel to the group's experience, produced the worldwide hits "Independent Women", "Survivor" and "Bootylicious. In 2001, they announced a hiatus to pursue solo careers. The trio reunited three years later for the release of their fifth and final studio album, Destiny Fulfilled (2004), which spawned the international hits "Lose My Breath" and "Soldier (feat. T.I. & Lil' Wayne)". Since the group's official disbandment in 2006, Knowles, Rowland and Williams have reunited several times, including at the 2013 Super Bowl halftime show and 2018 Coachella festival.
Destiny's Child has sold more than sixty million records worldwide to date. Billboard ranks the group as one of the greatest musical trios of all time, the ninth most successful artist/band of the 2000s, placed the group 68th in its All-Time Hot 100 Artists list in 2008 and in December 2016, the magazine ranked them as the 90th most successful dance club artist of all time. The group was nominated for 14 Grammy Awards, winning twice for Best R&B Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocals and once for Best R&B Song.
Happy Face
Destiny's Child Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The sunshine was shining
I put on my happy face
I'm living, I'm able,
I'm breathing, I'm grateful
To put on my happy face
Woke up and realized this world's not so bad after all
Things that you never think about
Like the ocean, moonlight, stars and clouds
It's amazing how we don't appreciate our blessings
There's plenty of people who don't like me
But since there are more who love me and I love myself
Sometimes, it gets tough, it gets tough
But I can't give up, can't give up
Just take a deep breath, close my eyes
Feel the love and give a smile
I woke up this morning,
The sunshine was shining
I put on my happy face
I'm living, I'm able
I'm breathing, I'm grateful
To put on my happy face
I woke up this morning
The sunshine was shining
I put on my happy face
I'm living, I'm able
I'm breathing, I'm grateful
To put on my happy face
It's me, I just wanna be happy
Uh, just be happy, uh, just be happy
Today is the day I am willing to say
I will put all the past behind me, no more enemies
Ready cause (ready cause)
I'm living in this world (living in this world)

The lyrics of "Happy Face" by Destiny's Child carry a powerful message of optimism and gratitude. The song starts by describing the singer's morning routine of putting on a "happy face" as a symbol of her decision to appreciate what she has rather than focusing on what she lacks. She goes on to reflect on the beauty of life: from the natural wonders of the world (the ocean, moonlight, stars, and clouds) to the love and support of the people surrounding her. The chorus repeats the idea that everything's going to be alright, and that the singer is willing to let go of past hurt and anger in order to embrace a better future.
The second verse of the song introduces more explicit ideas of change and growth, with the singer expressing a desire to make changes in her life, and to spread happiness and positivity to others. She acknowledges that, at times, it can be difficult to maintain this positive outlook, but the overall message of the song remains one of resilience and hope. By the end of the song, the singer is not just wearing a happy face but is truly "flying" - embracing the potential for growth and transformation.
Overall, "Happy Face" is an upbeat and empowering song that encourages listeners to choose happiness and gratitude, and to let go of negativity and fear. It's a reminder that, even in challenging circumstances, there is always something to be grateful for, and always the potential for positive change.
