"Happy Ending" is the third single release from London-based singer, Mika. Taken from his debut album Life in Cartoon Motion, producer Greg Wells remixed and rearranged the single, scheduled for release online on October 8, 2007, and in shops on CD and 7" vinyl on October 15, 2007.[1] The single charted at number seven on the UK Singles Chart. It was the fifth most added song to Australian radio in late October 2007[2] and was released there officially on November 12, 2007, as the 3rd single despite digital track sales placing the song in the ARIA singles chart before the official release.[3]
