Birthday – Katy Perry
"Birthday" is a song recorded by American singer Katy Perry for her fourth studio album, Prism (2013). She co-wrote the song with Bonnie McKee and its producers Dr. Luke, Max Martin, and Cirkut. Critics, as well as Perry herself, have compared the track to the music of Prince and Mariah Carey. Through double entendres in the lyrics of "Birthday", Perry makes sexual references while celebrating a partner's birthday. Capitol Records sent the track to mainstream and rhythmic radio on April 21, 2014 as the album's fourth single.
After being released as an official single, "Birthday" reached number one on the US Billboard Dance Club Songs chart and the Israelshe TV Airplay chart, number two in Flanders (Belgium) and Wallonia (Belgium), number three in South Africa, number seven in Canada, number 10 in South Korea, number 17 on the US Billboard Hot 100 chart, and the top 40 in nine additional countries.. This is an up-tempo song, but it’s R-rated. The singer promises to party all night and dance with the birthday boy. The music video treats you to numerous creative birthday cakes. Party planners were involved in making the video. It’s a great partying song if you go all out with your celebrations.
