Every great sitcom has to have an equally great theme song. McEntire turned to theme song veteran Carole King to help her pen the titular song for Happy’s Place. “I emailed her and told her the situation,” McEntire recently said. “She said that she’d love to help out. I hadn’t seen her in maybe four years, but we’re friends.”
Uncover the meaning behind this theme song, below.
Behind the Meaning of Reba McEntire’s New Theme Song, “Happy’s Place”
Sometimes it feels like a big ole fight
To get through the day and sleep on through the night
You can’t complain cuz no one’s there to hear it
But here’s you’ll find a place that’ll surely lift your spirit
Everyone has their happy place. For many, it’s their favorite late night spot where they can connect with friends and share a drink. That’s the idea behind this theme song. McEntire sets a scene of a bar that will surely life your spirits.
That place is–you guessed it–Happy’s Place. McEntire calls visitors of the bar to rest their hearts and feel safe. It’s a welcoming idea–something that all major sitcoms must boast.
Come on to Happy’s Place
You belong at Happy’s Place
Rest your heart and be a part
You’ll always feel so safe
Put a smile on someone else’s face
Right here at Happy’s Place
Oh right here at Happy’s Place
McEntire and King hit the nail on the head with this theme song. It’s blithe and easy to remember. We can only imagine that the sitcom will have the same sentiments. While the song is relatively upbeat, it does make mention of the loss at the heart of this show. Raise a glass to the ones that you’ve missed the most, she sings.
Happy’s Place premieres on October 18, 2024. In the meantime, check out the theme song, below.
So leave your troubles just right outside
Fingers crossed they’ll catch a ride
Raise your glass, raise your glass, celebrate with a toast
Raise a glass to the ones that you’ve missed the most
