ZACH JOHN KING RELEASES HIS NEW SONG “HAPPY FOR YOU”

“I wrote ‘Happy For You’ with Chris LaCorte and Justin Wilson. It’s a story about a relationship I was in that didn’t shake out the way I had hoped. I think a lot of times, we tell ourselves we’re happy for the other person and that we want the best for them. But if we’re being honest, that’s not always the truth. Sometimes the pain runs so deep, you just wish things had gone differently. 

This song is about admitting that, even though the other person has moved on and is living a different life, you’re still sitting with the weight of what could have been. One of my favorite parts of the song is the hook. It kind of tricks you for a second. It sounds like it’s going to be all positive, like, ‘Hey, I think you’re doing great, and I’m glad you’re doing well’… but then it hits with ‘I wish that I was happy for you.’It’s brutally honest, and I think a lot of people have felt that exact feeling. I know I have.

The production is stripped back and simple, and the lyrics do the heavy lifting. I’m really proud of this one.” – Zach John King
