A Happy Place is a jazz-influenced pop ballad by British-Georgian singer-songwriter Katie Melua, released on July 23, 2010, as the second single from her fourth studio album, *The House*. Co-written with Guy Chambers and produced by William Orbit, the song explores the pursuit of inner peace amidst life’s constant motion. The accompanying music video, directed by Mike Batt, was filmed in a paternoster lift in Berlin’s Haus des Rundfunks. The continuous movement of the lift symbolizes life’s unceasing flow, with Melua’s serene demeanor representing the quest for tranquility within. The video also features a distinctive hat designed by milliner Piers Atkinson.
