Hello Happiness is the twelfth studio album by American singer Chaka Khan, released on February 15, 2019. It is her first new material since 2007's Funk This.

Khan stated that she did not stop making music following the release of Funk This, but "simply stopped releasing material", and also needed time to recover following the death of recording artist Prince in 2016, which she has said made her "rethink" herself and admit herself into rehab for addiction to prescription drugs.
