Background

Chesney said: “That line about ‘every pickle jar dollar,’” “That was me in college, playing for tips in this little bar in West Virginia. I’d rent a pretty basic sound system, go over the line, set up, play three sets, tear down and drive home, so I could turn the stuff back in at the music store, go through the drive-in, get a breakfast sandwich and get on to class."

“To do what you love, to chase a dream is a really special thing. When you’re doing that, you find a whole lot of happiness with just a little bit of something. The chorus with the rope swing, the palm tree off the rearview mirror, a kiss from someone you love... With all this unknown and all this who knows, it felt like the song people were going to need this summer. The melody feels good, and the track makes you smile! So ‘Happy Does’ is a pretty good post-it note when you’re having a bad day, or even just a day.”{{cite web|url=https://www.kennychesney.com/news/kenny-drops-happy-does-as-new-single|title=Kenny Drops 'Happy Does' As New Single|website=kennychesney.com|date=June 30, 2020|access-date=November 1, 2020}}
