Happy Day Lyrics – Zlatan

Meaning of ‘Happy Day’ Lyrics Explained

Zlatan starts off by saying people are surprised at how he’s living. Life is tough for many, but he’s decided not to suffer and instead enjoy the good life. He gives thanks to God and acknowledges the blessings he’s received. He doesn’t want life’s weight dragging him down. He’s feeling the beat, vibing to music, and even jokingly wonders what to do with all the money he’s made.

He’s in a celebratory mood, asking for tequila because the day feels joyful. He repeats that it’s a happy day and tells people to stop overthinking or talking too much. “Leave story for Makinde” means drop the complaints or drama—today is for good vibes only. “Solo Makinde” might be a shout-out, but it keeps the flow light and catchy.

He says nothing can slow him down now—he’s standing strong. He mentions his car isn’t the fanciest model, but he’s still doing well. If you’ve been lazy or wasting time, it’s time to catch up. He questions people who talk too much but aren’t doing anything. Some folks pretend to hustle but don’t want to put in real effort. He throws in playful Yoruba phrases and references, like acting sharp or wanting benefits without doing the work.

He compares himself to Tekno, who made the hit song ‘Pana’, showing he’s creative and standout too. He talks about women being all over him and wanting traditional soup like “nsala”, showing he’s still grounded in culture. He reminds us money doesn’t always last, so sometimes you need to slow down and be smart. He won’t stress himself to death—he just got paid and is dressed in designer wear, fully enjoying life.

Again, he circles back to the celebration. The beat’s in his body, the day’s joyful, and the money is flowing. He’s just enjoying the ride.
