"Happier Than Ever" is a Billie Eilish song on her 2021 album of the same name.
Eilish performed a version of the song with altered lyrics as a duet with Count von Count. The song premiered on YouTube on November 9, 2021 (YouTube), seven months ahead of its appearance on the show in Episode 5232. The song features appearances by Big Bird, Bert, Elmo, and the Two-Headed Monster.
The original version begins "When I'm away from you, I'm happier than ever," eliciting a negative connotation to the person addressed on the song. The Sesame Street version contains altered lyrics that flip the meaning of the song's title to signify a positive tone describing "counting with you" as an activity making the performer "Happier Than Ever."
