The playlist will include songs by Ed Sheeran, David Guetta, John Legend, James Blunt. UN Secretary-General proposed to include in the list the composition of Stevie Wander Signed, Sealed, Delivered.

Responsible for the campaign is 18-year-old pop singer Cody Simpson, who encouraged fans to post options for the list on Twitter with the hashtag #HappySoundsLike. On March 20, Simpson will select five of the proposed songs and include them on the official list.

“I am delighted to be participating in such a wonderful program that is raising awareness of the International Day of Happiness. I hope everyone shares a song that makes them happier, ”said Simpson.
