We’re All Smiles ‘:)’ Listening To The Japanese House’s New Song

Smiling from ear to ear is the only appropriate response when The Japanese House announces new music! Appropriately, the song is titled ‘:)’ or ‘smiley face,’ and it had us blushing the whole time. If you are seeking the best music to get you through the hot summer days with your boo thang, then The Japanese House has got you covered!

‘Smiley Face’

‘Smiley Face’ is a song I wrote when I was very excited about talking to someone off a dating app. She lived in Detroit, and I was fantasising about flying to meet her. I was in a session at the time for someone else’s stuff, but I couldn’t help this song spilling out of me, I was in some sort of frenzy. Turns out I did buy the plane tickets, now we’re engaged.

The Japanese House stated in a press release

We know what it’s like to be madly in love, so much so that you would travel the globe to see this person, no matter the cost. And it seems like Amber feels the same way. Sometimes being in love can make you a little delusional, and we love how she makes us feel unafraid to feel these feelings through her music.

Upon our first listen, we knew this was the perfect song for summer. It’s as easy and chill as all of The Japanese House’s other songs, but it also makes us get excited for the surprises that summer always brings year after year. We’re certainly adding “:)” to our summer playlists and probably our year-round 2024 playlists too!
