On “Ser Feliz”, RAZTERIA creates a perky, insightful message on how happiness can be a product of conscious choice. The bilingual chorus, fusing Spanish and French vocals, actually verbalizes this: “Ser feliz c’est un choix” (Being happy is a choice), and invites the audience to smile and laugh along with the song.

The first verse reflects on terrors in childhood and those uncontrollable feelings that make the world feel a heavyweight full of doubt. This just makes one feel helpless and brings about an overwhelming urge to save the world, or at least change it. But the tone in the song changes as RAZTERIA develops in her thought processes of life. By the second verse, she realizes control is only with the present and small, important acts-like the butterfly effect. This realization brings in a note of personal empowerment and acceptance, hence underlining faith and mindfulness as an influencing source in shaping our experiences.

Third Verse RAZTERIA understands the power of positivity, wherein a smile or even a laugh may turn one’s perspective and beat back negative thoughts. Her personal “battle” is to raise awareness about the collective human experience, showing that happiness-though personal-also has the potential to inspire and uplift others.

The repetition of “Vivir siempre riendo” establishes the point of joys in living, not alone but to be shared with loved ones. All in all, “Ser Feliz” is a warm, optimistic reminder to make a conscious decision towards happiness and to spread it around with small, everyday acts.
