《只要你快樂》（英語：Born to Make You Happy）是美國流行女歌手布蘭妮·斯皮爾斯演唱的一首歌曲，由安德烈亞斯·卡爾森和克里斯蒂安·倫丁創作編寫。收錄在布蘭妮的首張錄音室專輯《愛的初告白》中，作為專輯中的第四波單曲，由Jive唱片發行于1999年12月6日。這首歌曲是布蘭妮早期的經典作品之一，獲得了全球性的商業成功，尤其在歐洲地區取得了顯著的成績。
創作背景
《只要你快樂》首次錄制于1998年3月，并于同年4月在斯德哥爾摩的Cheiron工作室重錄。布蘭妮在錄制歌曲之前，由于原版歌詞帶有少兒不宜的性愛內容，要求歌曲的詞曲作者進行重寫。這一點布蘭妮·斯皮爾斯在接受《滾石雜志》雜志采訪時已透露。歌曲的混制工作由馬克斯·馬丁負責。布蘭妮最初設想的音樂風格是類似雪莉·克勞的音樂，但更年輕，更成熟。然而，她同意了唱片公司指定的制作人，他們的目標是吸引當時的青少年觀眾。布蘭妮與制作人Max Martin、Denniz Pop和Rami Yacoub等合作，從1998年5月開始在Cheiron Studios錄制專輯的一半。《只要你快樂》是Kristian Lundin創作和制作，Andreas Carlsson共同創作的作品，是這對二人的第一部作品。
歌曲風格與評價
《只要你快樂》是一首持續四分零三秒的青少年流行和舞蹈流行曲。歌曲以B小調編寫，拍子為常規拍子，節奏為每分鐘84拍。阿比蓋爾·斯皮爾斯的音域跨越了一個八度，從F?3到B4。歌詞講述了一個女人希望糾正的關系，她并不完全理解出了什么問題，她意識到自己“不知道怎么沒有你的愛/我生來就是為了讓你快樂”。這首歌的和弦進行是Bm–G–D–A。《只要你快樂》收到了來自音樂評論家的褒貶不一的評價。一些評論家稱贊了斯皮爾斯的歌聲，并認為這是一首早期的經典，但也有批評歌曲信息的聲音。
商業成績
《只要你快樂》在全球范圍內取得了商業成功，在愛爾蘭取得了冠軍，并在比利時、歐洲、芬蘭、德國、荷蘭、挪威、瑞典和瑞士進入了單曲榜前5名。在英國，歌曲獲得了冠軍，成為布蘭妮·斯皮爾斯在英國第6暢銷的單曲。
音樂錄像帶與演出
《只要你快樂》的音樂錄像帶由Billie Woodruff導演。在音樂錄像帶中，布蘭妮夢見自己和戀人在一起，并和舞伴們共舞。布蘭妮在自己的4場巡回演唱會都表演了此歌曲。
歌曲歌詞
I'm sitting here alone up in my room
And thinking about the times that we've been through, oh my love
I'm looking at a picture in my hand
Trying my best to understand
I really wanna know what we did wrong
With a love that felt so strong
If only you were here tonight
I know that we could make it right
I don't know how to live without your love
I was born to make you happy
'Cause you're the only one within my heart
I was born to make you happy
Always and forever you and me
That's the way our life should be
I don't know how to live without your love
I was born to make you happy
I know I've been a fool since you've been gone
I'd better give it up and carry on, oh my love
'Cause living in a dream of you and me
Is not the way my life should be
I don't wanna cry a tear for you
So forgive me if I do
If only you were here tonight
I know that we could make it right
I don't know how to live without your love
I was born to make you happy
'Cause you're the only one within my heart
I was born to make you happy
Always and forever you and me
That's the way our life should be
I don't know how to live without your love
I was born to make you happy
I'd do anything, I'd give you my world
I'd wait forever, to be your girl
Just call out my name and I will be there
Just to show you, how much I care
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah
I was born to make you happy
Yeah, yeah, yeah, uh
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah
I don't know how to live without your love
I was born to make you happy
'Cause you're the only one within my heart
I was born to make you happy
Always and forever you and me
That's the way our life should be
I don't know how to live without your love
I was born to make you happy
Oh no
I was born to make you happy
Oh yeah, oh, oh
Always and forever you and me
That's the way our life should be
I don't know how to live without your love
I was born to make you happy
