"Happiness" is a song by Britishelectronic music duoPizzaman, which consisted ofJohn Reid andNorman Cook, released in November 1995 byLoaded Records as the third single from the duo's only album,Pizzamania (1995). The song contains a sample of "Five Songs by Four Voices" performed by English poet, artist and musicianEdward Barton, and uses a backbeat from "Break 4 Love" byRaze.^[2] "Happiness" peaked at number 19 on theUK Singles Chart and number three on theUK Dance Chart. Its music video was directed by American filmmaker and photojournalistMichael Dominic.Del Monte Foods corporation used the song in a UK fruit juice ad.

Michael Bonner fromMelody Maker commented, "Achieving something of a godlike status in the minds of me and my best pal, May, for his work onMighty Dub Katz' 'Magic Carpet Ride', Pizzaman presses all the right buttons again with a catchy blast oftechno-laced happyhouse. Bedroom bouncing stuff."^[3] Alan Jones fromMusic Week wrote, "Easily my favourite single of the week is 'Happiness', the barnstorming release fromNorman Cook's latest alter-ego Pizzaman. Its swirl of influences includejazzy piano frills,gospelly vocals, a backbeat lifted from 'Break 4 Love', Sixties-style organ, Seventies-style synth and much more. They all dovetail together perfectly."^[2] Brad Beatnik from theRecord Mirror Dance Update gave it a score of four out of five, adding, "Norman Cook and the Playboys finally release one of the most uptempo and infectious tracks on their debut album. The Club mix and Playboys dub use less of the singalong vocal and stick to harder grooves while the original and Euro-versions go for the real hands-in-the-air effect. A definite party anthem."^[4]
