In meaning, the song has a strong resemblance to āThe Cureā from the girls groups' fifth studio album LM5. Both songs are about finding your own happiness and learning to love yourself without anyone else. However, āThe Cureā has more of a R'n'B feel to it, whereas āHappinessā is more pop-influenced.

Little Mix Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You messed with my heart too long, that was a big mistake
Ooh, yeah, big mistake
Ooh, yeah
Got a smile on my face, love my reflection
In a better place, no longer stressing
Ooh, yeah
About you, yeah
And I swear I'm never gonna lose me again
Oh-oh-oh
I was searching for happiness
I was using you to fill up my loneliness
Realized from the moment I set you free
I found the love, I found the love in me (me)
You can't rain on my happiness
Yeah, sometimes tears fall, I must confess
But now, I'm standing right where I'm meant to be
I found the love, I found the love in me
Brand new evolution of me, ever since I let you go
Finally, I'm learning things I never knew before
Ooh, yeah, never knew before
Ooh, yeah (whoa)
Remember I, I was mine before I was yours
So don't try, I'm stronger without you, yeah
Without you, yeah
And I swear (I swear) I'm never gonna lose me again (again)
Oh-oh-oh (again)
I was searching for happiness (happiness)
I was using you to fill up my loneliness
Realized from the moment I set you free
I found the love, I found the love in me (me)
You can't rain on my happiness
Yeah, sometimes tears fall, I must confess
But now I'm standing right where I'm meant to be (be)
I found the love, I found the love in me
Oh-oh-oh (oh-oh)
Oh-oh-oh
Ah-ah-ah (oh)
I found the love, I found the love in me
And I swear I'm never gonna lose me again (again, again)
Never gonna lose me 'cause
I was searching for happiness
I was using you to fill up my loneliness (fill up my loneliness)
Realized from the moment I set you free
I found the love, I found the love in me (me)
You can't rain on my happiness (happiness)
Yeah, sometimes tears fall, I must confess
But now I'm standing right where I'm meant to be
I found the love, I found the love in me
The lyrics to Little Mix's song "Happiness" convey a message of personal growth and independence after a toxic relationship. The singer of the song reflects on dancing alone in the dark, surrounded by shadows, symbolizing the loneliness and pain caused by their past partner. They acknowledge that allowing their heart to be manipulated for so long was a big mistake.
However, the tone of the song quickly shifts as the singer realizes that they have found happiness within themselves. They embrace their own reflection and find contentment in being in a better place, free from the stress and influence of their former partner. The lyrics emphasize the importance of self-love and the recognition that they do not need someone else to make them complete. They swear to never lose themselves again, highlighting their newfound strength and determination.
The chorus of the song reinforces this message of self-discovery and empowerment. The singer admits to using their past partner as a means to fill their emptiness and loneliness, but they've come to the realization that they can find love within themselves. They refuse to let anyone rain on their happiness, acknowledging that tears may still fall at times, but they are confident in their own journey and their ability to stand where they are meant to be.
In the bridge, the lyrics emphasize the progress and evolution the singer has experienced since letting go of their toxic relationship. They express gratitude for the lessons learned and the growth they have achieved. They reclaim their individuality, asserting that they were their own person before entering the relationship and that they are stronger without their former partner.
Overall, "Happiness" encourages listeners to prioritize their own happiness, embrace self-love, and learn from past experiences to grow stronger as individuals.

@@ritikaghosh375 I did listen to it. And honestly I find nothing in it that could save this song.
And yes one line can Ruin a whole song.
Best example is "0815" by Farid Bang and Kollegah. They won an Echo Award (one of the biggest German music awards) for that song but one simple line in that song that people didn't like caused so much backlash that the Echo Awards don't exist anymore. Yes, the whole award doesn't exist anymore because of one. Single. Line.
So yes, one line can Ruin the bigger picture.
Other than tbat It's still just another run of the mill "I left my ex i feel so much better now" song that it's literally everywhere rn, best examples are that one song called lonely, Lighter by Nathan Dawe & KSI, Call me Now by Michael Calfan & INNA, and basically 75% of Taylor swift's songs are all about the same topic. It's generic and uncreative, it flattens the current pop culture and makes it bland. I know that kinda stuff because I'm a radio presenter, songs from little Mix are in my shows all the time and I try to minimize that as much as I can because I don't want to grant the same overused concept any platform.
There are so many ways to boost one's self confidence, i don't think little mix songs are one of them
