This 2018 hit from alt-rock band Paramore's fifth album "After Laughter" juxtaposes a cheerful pop groove with a message calling for empathy and understanding for those who might be feeling less-than-cheerful. It features an opening treble solo and a retro 80's sound with a variety of synth and aux percussion colors adding to the sunny vibe. It's one of those songs that you'll never get tired of singing!
