The story behind the song

"Birthday" celebrates a partner's special day, using playful double entendres to weave in sexual references. The lyrics present the commemoration of a birthday as a metaphor for intimacy, with lines like "Let me get you in your birthday suit" hinting at deeper connections. Musically, this disco-styled track from the album Prism draws inspiration from Mariah Carey's early work and features a "joyful" and "deeply rhythmic" feel. At its heart, the song is a vibrant invitation to celebrate love and desire.
