At the time, he was only 38 years old. The song is intended for when one is going through many pressure or problems; this song calms down the listener and motivates to smile. The artist\u2019s intention to calm the listener is clear from the beginning wherein the first verse he sings, \u201cHere\u2019s a little song I wrote. You might want to sing it note for note. Don\u2019t Worry, Be Happy. In every life, we have some trouble. But when you worry, you make it double\u201d (Bobby Mc Ferrin, n.d.). After listening to this song, the overall feeling and mood are expected to be more peaceful and less problematic. He also encourages one to mind people around so as not to spread the low mood,\u201d \u2018Cause when you worry your face will frown. And that will bring everybody down. So don\u2019t worry, be happy\u201d (Genius, n.d.). The song went ahead to win the coveted Grammy Awards for \u201cBest Song of The Year,\u201d 1988, while the album to which the song belongs won Album of the Year (Harrington, 1989). <\/p>\n<p>References<\/p>\n<p>Bobby Mc Ferrin (a).
