Yungblud has collaborated with Oli Sykes of Bring Me The Horizon on his new track ‘Happier’.The new single marks the second collaboration from the pair following Bring Me The Horizon’s 2020 single ‘Obey’, and arrives ahead of Yungblud’s stint with the band on their upcoming Asia tour.“Broken, I’m not broken, I’m not broken / I’m just a little depressed,” the pair sing together on the purging track. “I’m just scared to belong here / Scared to be happier.”Speaking about the track in a press statement, Yungblud – real name Dominic Harrison – said: “I have almost been conditioned by myself my whole life to be in pain.

When I’m in pain I work better. I function better because I have something to combat. It’s dark but it’s all I’ve ever known.“The feeling of happiness is scary because you feel like it’s all about to go wrong.

I have always felt that if I’m happy I’ll get complacent so it’s lost me a lot of opportunity for friendships and relationships in the past.”He continued: “I got really emotional when writing this.

I was craving another Yungblud song that would burn in my stomach, make me feel like it’s all gonna be ok and encourage me to fight back against old habits and try my best to re-align myself to be better.
