Happy Endings is the second studio album by American country music band Old Dominion. It was released on August 25, 2017 by RCA Nashville. In late 2017, the band hosted a dive bar tour in support of the record.
Critical reception Stephen Thomas Erlewine of AllMusic wrote that "Since Happy Endings flows so easily, it may be easy to glide along with its slick surfaces, but a close listen reveals not only the sturdiness of the songs but the cleverness of the production", rating it 4 out of 5 stars. Cillea Houghton of Sounds Like Nashville reviewed the album with favor, stating that "The album finds them in a slightly more poignant place than on 2015's Meat and Candy, while still flaunting their clever personalities and unique songwriting style."
Commercial performance The album debuted at No. 1 on Top Country Albums, selling 31,000 copies, and 41,000 equivalent album units when streaming and track sales are included. It also debuted on Billboard 200 at No. 7. It has sold 107,400 copies in the US as of February 2019.
