"Smile" is a song by Uncle Kracker from his 2009 album Happy Hour. It was released as a single on July 13, 2009. The track features country music star Sheryl Crow, who sings backing vocals at the end of the title. The song was featured in Bucky Larson: Born to Be a Star.

Music video

A music video for the song was released in September 2009, directed by Darren Doane. The video is set in Northern Michigan with some scenes from Hale, Michigan and Long Lake, Michigan.[1]

Chart performance

On the chart week of November 7, 2009, the original album version of "Smile" debuted at #57 on the U.S. Billboard Hot Country Songs chart: becoming his first solo entry on that chart, as well as his second chart single since he was featured with Kenny Chesney on "When the Sun Goes Down" in 2004. It has peaked at #31 on the Billboard Hot 100. The song is also his second entry on the Hot Country Songs charts, debuting at #57 on the week of November 7, 2009. Following strong unsolicited airplay of a remix of "Smile" featuring country music influences on Detroit country music stations, "Smile" was re-mixed and released to Country radio as an official single to promote his extended play Happy Hour: The South River Road Sessions.[2] It has since also become his first solo Top 10 country hit, peaking at number six.

Uses on Television

"Smile" has been featured in promotions for The Office special "Baby" episode, as well as TV advertisements for Season 3 of the Australian drama series, Packed to the Rafters. Joe McElderry recorded a cover of the song for his album, Wide Awake, which was released in October 2010. The song was featured in an episode of the 2009 sequel to Melrose Place. Kelly Ripa had the song played to an accompanying montage in tribute to co-host Regis Philbin on his last episode of Live with Regis & Kelly following his retirement from the series.
