Marshmello Debuts Emotional Music Video For HAPPIER Featuring Bastille

Marshmello has released an emotional new music video today for his latest single "Happier," featuring Bastille. The poignant video, directed by Mercedes Bryce Morgan, captures the heartwarming bond between a young woman (played by Miranda Cosgrove) and her life-long best friend Mello, a golden retriever she receives for her birthday as a little girl. Mello is by her side as the two venture through moments of childhood and adolescence together, ending with a heartwarming twist. To watch the music video for "Happier," click HERE.

"When I heard happier for the first time I was taken aback," said Marshmello. "The amount of emotion that you could feel in the lyrics was crazy. As I listened to the song more and more it reminded me of so many things I've been through in my life. Toxic relationships, letting go of things I didn't want to and just situations where happiness came with a price. Recently I lost my dog which was really hard for me. I wanted the video to embrace the pain that we feel losing someone close to us and the cycle of life. This is what made me happier."
