Happiness Is Going to Get You is the fourth studio album by the Canadian singer-songwriter Allie X. It was released on November 7, 2025, under her own label Allie X Music LLC.
Background and composition Happiness Is Going to Get You was announced by Allie X on October 9, 2025. Having self-produced and written most of the album on the piano, Allie X explained in a statement that the album "explores the idea of existing in multiple places in time, weaving baroque instrumentation with digital production to reflect a world caught between nostalgia, hope, and dread." In an interview with Paper Magazine, Allie X stated that the creation process of the album was similar to her previous album Girl with No Face (2024), stating: "I really found my voice over the past five years, by working in isolation and taking over creative and managerial control over everything. [...] In that way, [Happiness Is Going to Get You is] similar to Girl With No Face [creatively], since it's rebellious and has the same ethos. Like I'm ignoring all trends, I don't care what anyone else is doing, I don't care what they think of it. For better or for worse. That's how I'm going to sustain my career. It's very important that I found that. Sonically, it's very different. Maybe you could tie it to Cape God. It's more of an organic sound, even though there are synthesizers over all of my work."
Promotion The album was preceded by the release of two singles. The first single, "Is Anybody Out There?", was released on September 12, 2025 alongside a visualizer for it directed by Cal McIntyre. The second single, "Reunite", was released on October 9, 2025, in tandem with the album announcement. Allie X stated in a press release that the song was about "coming back together as a person when life has broken you apart", further elaborating that the lyricism was a chronicalization of the "celebration of growing up and understanding that my body has always been on my side, despite feeling the opposite for most of my life".
