About The Lucky Ones

"The Lucky Ones" is a song by Estonian singer-songwriter Kerli from her second extended play, Utopia. Following the release of two promotional singles from the album ("Army of Love" in 2011 and "Zero Gravity" in 2012), it was announced by Universal Motown Records vice-president Chris Anokute that "The Lucky Ones" would serve as the first single from the extended play. It was written by Kerli, Svante Halldin and Jakob Hazell, while production was handled by the latter two as the production team SeventyEight and was released on October 29, 2012 through Island Records. The song, a dance track, was written after Kerli's best friend's cancer diagnosis was reversed, which inspired its lyrics' message that encourages listeners to be thankful and "to never judge anybody because you don't know what's going on in their lives". Its accompanying music video, which amplifies this message, was released in December 2012. It is Kerli's third song to enter the top ten on Billboard's Hot Dance Club Songs (all of which are from Utopia), peaking at number one.
