If you have ever wanted Lottie's resort vibes playing in the background while you commute or work, Nintendo Music just made that happen. The app's latest weekly update drops 25 tracks from the Animal Crossing: New Horizons Happy Home Paradise DLC soundtrack, bringing the total album runtime to 43 minutes of some of the most relaxing music the series has ever produced.
Why this update lands differently
Happy Home Paradise launched back in 2021 as paid DLC for Animal Crossing: New Horizons, and its soundtrack has always felt a little underappreciated compared to the base game's music. The DLC leaned into a distinct resort aesthetic, and the composers matched that energy with tracks that feel lighter and more cinematic than the island life loops most players associate with the game. Getting all 25 of those tracks in one place, properly organized as an album, is genuinely a nice package for fans.
The key here is that Nintendo Music has been rolling out updates on a weekly cadence, and this week's Animal Crossing addition sits alongside a separate Mario Kart World "Free Roam Mode" batch that included tracks from Super Mario 64, Mario Kart 64, and Yoshi's Story. Nintendo is clearly working through its back catalog at a steady pace.
The full Happy Home Paradise tracklist
All 25 tracks from the DLC are now available:
- Meeting Lottie
- Resort Travel Plans (DAL Jingle)
- Opening Theme (Happy Home Paradise)
- Resort (Day)
- Resort (Night)
- Paradise Planning
- A Customer Visits
- During the Visit
- Client Consultation (Lottie)
- Choosing a Location
- Designing a Vacation Home
- Done Designing
- Unveiling a Vacation Home
- Photo Shoot
- Happy Home Network
- Special Class
- Sharing a House (Looking for a Roommate)
- Sharing a House (Moving Out)
- Lottie's Not Feeling Well
- Client Consultation (Niko)
- Designing a Facility
- Unveiling a Facility
- Celebration Party
- DJ K.K. (1st Festival)
- Room Sketch
That DJ K.K. (1st Festival) entry is worth calling out specifically. The festival version of K.K. Slider's set from Happy Home Paradise has a completely different energy from his usual Saturday night acoustic performances, and it's the kind of track that actually benefits from being accessible outside the game.
What most players miss about this DLC's music
The Happy Home Paradise soundtrack does something the base Animal Crossing: New Horizons score rarely does: it builds toward moments. Tracks like Unveiling a Vacation Home and Celebration Party have actual dramatic arcs rather than the gentle loops the main game leans on. Hearing them outside the context of the DLC, without the pressure of getting a client's home design right, lets you actually notice the composition work.
Animal Crossing: New Horizons also got a significant content update earlier this year with its Switch 2 edition, which added the Resort Hotel alongside other new features. The Nintendo Music update feels like a natural companion to that renewed momentum around the game.
