The music video for "Happy?" begins with the band, dressed entirely in black, playing the song in a field full of flowers on a sunny day. But after the first chorus, the sky darkens and a tornado emerges, seemingly out of nowhere, trying to sweep up the band. The storm subsides suddenly at the end of the video, showing that Mudvayne is unharmed and well.
The cover photo for the "Forget to Remember" single appears to have been taken during the filming of the "Happy?" video.

"Happy Song" is a 1983 hit single by Baby's Gang. The single became a European hit single when covered by German band Boney M. the following year.
After Boney M.'s return to the charts with a cover of the Italian hit "Kalimba de Luna", producer Frank Farian rushed back into the studio to cover another Italian hit single. He invited Boney M.'s original dancer Bobby Farrell to join the group along with a group of children from Rhein Main U.S. Air Force Base Elementary and Jr. High, credited as The School Rebels, who did the lead vocals together with Reggie Tsiboe. While Bobby Farrell did a rap, original singers Liz Mitchell and Marcia Barrett did not participate in the recording. Session vocalists La Mama (Patricia Shockley, Madeleine Davis and Judy Cheeks) did the additional female vocals. The single gave the group their final German Top 10 hit single (#7), their first in nearly four years.

"Happy Song" is a song by British rock band Bring Me the Horizon. It was released as a promotional single from the band's fifth album, That's the Spirit. The song premiered on 12 July 2015 during a BBC Radio 1 broadcast and was later uploaded to the band's official VEVO. Musically, it has been described as a rock song, more specifically as an alternative rock song with post-hardcore influences and as a "grungy" nu metal song. Eleanor Goodman of TeamRock described it as "[t]he most metal track on the album, with [a] distinctive Faith No More-influenced cheerleader chorus."
The week before the release of the song, Bring Me the Horizon started teasing it had something new coming up. Members of the band went on to share numerous clues and puzzles to unlock lyrics and details of the song on social media.
The song premiered on BBC Radio 1 on 12 July 2015 and was released on iTunes the same day.
It was featured as the co-theme song of NXT TakeOver: Respect.
Nothing of it is true
'Cause no one knows the meaning
If you don't know the question
You have to lie before answering
We are all happy on this earth
There is no reason to cry
So when someone does
Everyone admits life is a lie
Nothing of it is true
'Cause no one knows the meaning
If you don't know the question
You have to lie before answering
The way we live is in uncertainty
That's why there is so much pain
No-one knows for sure what will happen next
'Cause the answer is hidden in their brain
And the only thing guaranteed in life is death
Nothing of it is true
'Cause no one knows the meaning
If you don't know the question
You have to lie before answering
People find faith to keep themselves happy
But all that leads us to is wars
And the true believers fight to the death
And are now dead, of course
Nothing of it is true
'Cause no one knows the meaning
If you don't know the question
