Release"Happy Nation" was first released in Scandinavia in 1992 and later released twice in the United Kingdom. Its first appearance was in October 1993, when it peaked at number 42, it reentered the chart twelve months later at number 40.[1] "Happy Nation" reached number one on the singles charts of Denmark, Finland, France and Israel in 1993 and 1994. In 2008 the song was remade by Ace of Base for a remix kit. "Happy Nation" is a mid-tempo dance-pop song with strong influences from reggae fusion and euro house. It was written by Jonas "Joker" Berggren and Ulf "Buddha" Ekberg and contains both English and Latin lyrics. The first verse is sung in Latin by Joker, and Linn Berggren sings the rest as the lead singer. Music videoThe music video of "Happy Nation" was directed by Matt Broadley, who also directed the music video of "All That She Wants".[2] The video was shot in Gothenburg in January 1993.[3] The video begins with a lit candle, the flame of which blowing to the side. During Joker's verse, he sings flanked on both sides by a candelabrum, with Linn's face and different ancient symbols and pictures moving in the background. These images include the peace symbol, runic inscriptions, Egyptian hieroglyphs, Indigenous Australian art, the Buddha, the Zodiac signs, the yin yang symbol, the Crucifixion of Jesus, Al-Fatiha, and the book The Origin of Species by Charles Darwin. After Joker's verse, the rest of the video focuses on Linn singing. She is mostly seen standing, but at one point she is seen sitting at a long wooden table, appearing to be deep in thought. At other times, Jenny Berggren appears singing with Linn for a moment. The background images continue to appear during this part, along with scenes of Buddha typing on a stationary computer, Jenny reading from an old book, Joker singing the background vocals, and other short clips featuring the band members. Old movie footage is also shown during Linn's section, such as an atomic bomb exploding, people walking, and a tree falling down. When the music fades out, the lit candle shown at the start of the video is blown out. Track listings
