Songfacts®:

• "Danielle (Smile On My Face)" is centered on the vocals from 070 Shake's 2019 track "Nice To Have." Fred Again played the song almost daily in 2021 – it was his most listened-to track of that year.
• "Nice To Have" is about the importance of human companionship; having people in your life during the worst times and the best times. Fred Again borrows the first verse where 070 Shake tells her lover she feels safe when he holds her. If she dies in his arms, there'll be a smile on his face.
• 070 Shake's lyric resonated with Fred Again about a time when he found it more comfortable not to mix with other people. "It's sorta closing off close friends, and people trying to help you," he said, "and real life, like an addict doing anything it takes to protect that one thing."
• The name "Danielle" doesn't appear in the lyrics. It is a reference to 070 Shake's real name, Danielle Balbuena.
• "Danielle (Smile On My Face)" is the lead single from Actual Life 3 (January 1 – September 9 2022). The album comprises clips from various sources layered with synths. They include sounds Fred Again found on Instagram and samples from some of the producer's favorite songs.
