One metaphor in this song is "a hot air balloon that could go to space." Basically, this is a metaphor because it compares the feeling of happiness and joy to a balloon rising high, reaching new heights and exploring new possibilities. The balloon is a symbol of happiness in this song that can float effortlessly and freely like a person's state of mind.

The song "Happy" contains situational irony in that Pharrell Williams was actually upset when making the song.

Pharrell was making a song for the movie "Despicable me 2". he had been turned down nine times before writing happy as a response to the sarcastic question of "how can you write a song about a person being so happy nothing can bring them down?"

The main theme of this song is keeping a positive attitude and emotional freedom when life knocks you down. Not only is the melody of the song upbeat and cheerful, but the lyrics "Because I'm happy clap along...", instructs you to clap in order to celebrate keeping that happiness.
