Marshmello on Monday debuted the video for “Happier,” his collaboration with Bastille – and it’s a real tear-jerker.
Directed by Mercedes Bryce Morgan and starring Miranda Cosgrove, the video celebrates the bond between people and their pets.
“Recently I lost my best friend, my companion, my life long friend,” Marshmello shared, in a message with the video. “I wanted this video to embrace the pain that we feel losing or sacrificing something and the cycle of life that comes with it.
“I hope this song and video can bring closure in any situation you may be and make us all happier.”
When Marshmello released the track last month, Bastille tweeted praise for Marshmello’s ability “to find some joy in the melancholy.”
