If there’s anything more exciting than new music on Fridays, it’s definitely discovering new artists.

 

TikTok star Dixie D’Amelio makes her way into the music industry with the release of “Be Happy”! Dixie is largely known for posting content on the popular app and soon secured opportunities to take the next step. From starring in Brat TV’s “Attaway General” to partaking in campaigns for brands like Ralph Lauren and Dermalogica, the 18-year-old is now adding music to the list.

 

Last month, Dixie teased “Be Happy” on TikTok with an a cappella 30-second performance and quickly stunned us all!

 

 

Through the track, Dixie tackles the subject of mental health. The line “Sometimes I don’t wanna be happy / Don’t hold it against me / If I’m down just leave me there / Let me be sad” highlights the idea that it’s absolutely okay to feel down. Listeners can relate to the message, as some days can be tougher than others, even to the point where you don’t have the energy to do the little things. (Just a gentle reminder that you are loved and never alone!) In addition to the important message, the song has an upbeat tune that is surely destined to get in your head. I know I’ve found myself singing the chorus!

 

After gaining her first one million streams, D’Amelio has another treat for her fans. The official video for “Be Happy” has arrived, make sure to check it out!

 

 

 

The video, directed by Christian Guiton, was filmed during quarantine from the comfort of D’Amelio’s home. Through the video, Dixie is shown in different rooms in complete isolation. As she mentions in the song, sometimes you just want to be alone. Her video co-star is her furry friend that brings her joy (DOGS ARE EVERYTHING). The moment she’s found underwater is so powerful as it embodies that feeling of sadness. The cool color tones throughout the video tie it all together!
 

Dixie has received lots of love and support from other TikTok creators, including sister Charli D’Amelio, Addison Rae, and Griffin Johnson. “Be Happy” is on track to becoming a popular song on TikTok. Users have begun to make dances to the song, and it’s just a matter of time for one to go viral!
