Happy Mistake is a modern-day Creep and deserved better

[Concertaholic 6,176]

Just wanted to come on here to give Happy Mistake it’s flowers for being such a hauntingly, beautiful song. Admittedly I didn’t listen to it much when it first came out, but I just revisited this performance and realize that the world really missed out by not giving this song the chance to become the timeless smash hit it deserves to be. At least it’s part of a Grammy nominated album now I suppose

2:37 is crazy

I wonder how the reception of this song would have been if it was instead on LG7.

One of her best ballads iktr 

[BeFree 181]

One of her best songs ever that deserved to be on Mayhem 

[elsamars 4,237]

Can’t wait that we collectively forget about this creep-y era

[Lampost 748]

I'm still shocked she hasn't performed this in the piano section of the Mayhem Ball. It's my favourite ballad she's ever done.

If Joker 2 didn't underperform so heavily then we 100% would've gotten an act dedicated to it on the tour. Happy Mistake should've been on the tour regardless.

Also shout out to one of her best studio vocal performances

It's one of my favorite songs of all time

It instead of blade of grass would have been perfect. A better ballad to transition to DWAS at the end of the album.

MAYHEM desperately needed a Happy Mistake type ballad. Blade of Grass composition makes no sense to me. It’s a song about her engagement but sounds like Dope 2.0

Definitely deserves widespread recognition

It’s a song about her dealing with the fear that their love is too good to be true because of past heartbreak and dealing with the resulting issues with intimacy and trust, so I think that’s why it’s written like a funeral dirge.

Ngl I think they could’ve included both: one song in BOG that is about reconciling her heartbreak in the past and choosing love, HM being about reconciling her relationship with her public persona and choosing healing, then DWAS being the blissful resolution of both feelings/fears.
