"Happy Face" is a song by American southern rock and country rock band Treaty Oak Revival, released on September 13, 2024 as the lead single from their third studio album West Texas Degenerate (2025).
In May 2024, Treaty Oak Revival debuted the song live at a concert in Salado, Texas. Lead singer Sam Canty told the audience that it was about missing his wife and had not yet been recorded. [1] [2] The track went viral on social media afterward, prompting them to record it. [2]
The song is composed of guitar, drums [3] and a rock and roll-inspired melody. [1] Lyrically, it details the life of constantly being on the road as a result of touring and missing loved ones. [1] [2]
Sam B of Raised Rowdy described the song as a "typical Treaty Oak Revival banger – the melody that sticks with you, the fantastic songwriting and the pure talent of vocalist Sam Canty and the rest of the group. Once the chorus hits, especially, it hooks you and keeps your head bobbing, as does the energetic drum work and chiming guitar. The production is great and amps up the sound that Treaty Oak has become so prominent with." [3]
