“Hey Ya!” might just be the happiest sounding song released during the 2000s. For nearly 20 years, it’s had people shamelessly dancing and singing along with every listen. It’s the song that single handedly made Polaroid cool again.

“Hey Ya!” was a crossover hit, sitting on top of the Hot 100 for nine straight weeks, going platinum in a number of regions around the globe (Australia, Italy, Norway, Sweden, UK, United States), it became the first song to ever reach 1 million paid downloads on iTunes, eventually winning the Grammy for Best Urban/Alternative Performance. The single was seen as a breakthrough for the hip-hop industry, being one of the first hip-hop songs to be widely played on adult contemporary stations.

But the catchy funk-tune is one of the most deceivingly happy-sounding songs recorded. Andre 3000 goes to great lengths in proving that most people don’t care about the deeper meanings within songs. They just want to dance.

Let’s take a look at THE DARKER MEANING BEHIND HEY YA!
