"Happy Now?" is a song recorded by American rock band No Doubt. It was released as the fifth single from their third studio album Tragic Kingdom (1995). The single was issued on January 20, 1997 as a CD single. It was written by Gwen Stefani, Tom Dumont, and Tony Kanal, with its production handled by Matthew Wilder. Its lyrics allude to Stefani's relationship status with Kanal, who broke up their seven-year relationship when creating Tragic Kingdom.

Musically, "Happy Now?" is an alternative rock and ska punk song, like the majority of its parent album. The song received generally positive reviews from music critics, with one of them calling it an improvement over No Doubt's previous releases. Commercially, the single was unsuccessful and the only from Tragic Kingdom not to peak on any record chart.

"Happy Now?" was recorded during sessions for No Doubt's third studio album Tragic Kingdom (1995). Band members Eric Stefani, Gwen Stefani, Tony Kanal, Tom Dumont, Adrian Young, and producer Gary Angle collaborated for the effort. However, after their record label Interscope brought in outside producer Matthew Wilder to improve the album's sessions, Eric became distraught and decided to leave the group. The single was recorded at eleven different studios in California in 1995.

A CD single featuring the song was released in both Australia and Sweden; however, the single was the only one released from Tragic Kingdom that did not peak on any significant record chart. The Australian CD included three tracks: the album version of "Happy Now?", plus bonus tracks "Let's Get Back" and a cover of Sublime's song "D.J.'s". The Swedish CD featured the single and a cover of the ska-holiday song "Oi to the World". The CD's cover art would be later used for Tragic Kingdom's seventh and final single, "Hey You!".
