The Prank Call Behind “Happiness”

There are moments in music that don’t come from a studio session or a preset.
Sometimes they come from real life — unplanned, unfiltered, and completely human.

Long before there was a Complexity Crew track called Happiness, there was a phone call.
Not some dramatic interview. Not a scripted line. Just a call I made for no reason other than messing around, enjoying myself, and doing dumb shit on the phone like any happy person would.

Somehow, in that call, one line landed in a way that stuck with me.
Fast forward — the call ended up in the song. Not because I planned a moment or wrote a hook, but because that line felt right when the music came together.

People have to hear it to feel it.
So I put the original prank call — the audio as it happened — right here for you to listen to:

This isn’t some behind-the-scenes gimmick.

 

It’s a real moment that ended up in a real track — Happiness, from Vol. 7 by Complexity Crew.

If you’re into electronic music, hard dance, hardstyle, techno, or just appreciate when a human moment becomes music, this is for you.

And yeah — sometimes happy dudes just make fun calls, and one of them works its way into a song.

Stay tuned for more.
