Songfacts®:

  • This festive tune was penned by the Rizzle Kicks pair of Jordan Stephens and Harley Alexander-Sule and bundled with the iTunes version of their Roaring 20s album. "Writing 'Happy That You're Here' was special because it came so naturally," the duo said. "I think the angle in which we wrote the song hasn't been explored before. It'd be easy to fall into writing a Christmas song that's all 'Sleigh bells and reindeers', but I think exploring some of the minor difficulties that come hand in hand with Christmas is more relatable on a larger scale."
