Single of the Day: Katy Perry - Birthday

Released by: Universal Music Indonesia

Set the table, blow the candle, cut the cake, as Katy Perry throwing us a party of a lifetime. 'Birthday' sebagai single keempat dari "PRISM" merupakan totalitas Katy dalam menghibur. Ia memberikan sebuah lagu yang spesial kepada setiap insan yang ingin mendapatkan keistimewaan dalam merayakan hari jadi sebagai alternatif lain dari lagu ulang tahun sejuta umat yang overplayed meskipun tidak pernah usang.

Potensi klasik yang lagu ini miliki lahir dalam tatanan lirik yang sepertinya tidak pernah diniatkan untuk tampil spesifik sebagai lagu ulang tahun. Ia justru ingin menyentuh lebih lebar dari itu, yaitu perayaan istimewa, yang kemudian diibaratkan sebagai birthday. Pemilihan kata dalam rangkaian per baris lirik mencirikan selebrasi yang larger than life. Confetti, Perignon, disco ball, berikut item-item yang memang tercipta untuk birthday party: cake dan balloons.

Mendengarkan 'Birthday' juga berarti menikmati aspek lain yang "PRISM" punya. Masing-masing, 'Roar', 'Unconditionally', dan juga 'Dark Horse' membawa pendengar pada kondisi musik yang berbeda satu sama lain. Untuk 'Bithday' sendiri, eksploitasi dancepop hingga mengerucut pada tema disko. Saat perencanaan dulu, saat Katy menyatakan ingin kembali ke elemen musiknya yang lebih organik, ia tak lantas menghapus jejak dancepop sebagai style yang mengangkat namanya. Dan itu terjadi di rilisan single ke-4 album. So let's have a party, shall we?

LYRIC

I heard you're feeling nothing's going right

Why don't you let me stop by?

The clock is ticking, running out of time

So we should party all night

So cover your eyes,

I have a surprise

I hope you got a healthy appetite

If you wanna dance,

If you want it all

You know that I'm the girl that you should call

Boy, when you're with me

I'll give you a taste

Make it like your birthday everyday

I know you like it sweet

So you can have your cake

Give you something good to celebrate

So make a wish

I'll make it like your birthday everyday

I'll be your gift

Give you something good to celebrate

Pop your confetti

Pop your Pérignon

So hot and heavy

'Til dawn

I got you spinning

Like a disco ball

All night they're playing

Your song

We're living the life

We're doing it right

You're never gonna be unsatisfied

If you wanna dance

If you want it all

You know that I'm the girl that you should call

Boy, when you're with me

I'll give you a taste

Make it like your birthday everyday

I know you like it sweet

So you can have your cake

Give you something good to celebrate

So make a wish

I'll make it like your birthday everyday

I'll be your gift

Give you something good to celebrate

Happy birthday

So let me get you in your birthday suit

It's time to bring out the big balloons

So let me get you in your birthday suit

It's time to bring out the big, big, big, big, big, big balloons

Boy, when you're with me

I'll give you a taste

Make it like your birthday everyday

I know you like it sweet

So you can have your cake

Give you something good to celebrate

Boy, when you're with me

I'll give you a taste

Make it like your birthday everyday

I know you like it sweet

So you can have your cake

Give you something good to celebrate

So make a wish

I'll make it like your birthday everyday

I'll be your gift

Give you something good to celebrate

Happy birthday
