Happy Ever After is a song by English singer-songwriter Julia Fordham, included on her self-titled debut album. Released as a single in 1988, it reached #27 in the UK Singles Chart[1] and number 1 in the Japan Singles Chart.[2] "Happy Ever After" was inspired by Nelson Mandela's struggle through apartheid in South Africa and his imprisonment.[3] The song was re-recorded for Fordham's 1998 compilation album, The Julia Fordham Collection, and given the subtitle "Rain Forest Mix '98".

Singer Jaki Graham recorded a cover version of "Happy Ever After" for her 1998 album My Life.
