Women’s Heart-Lifting Birthday Songs (41–50)
Happy BirthdayB’z
I think this is also a great classic for birthdays.
If a boyfriend or a friend sang a song like this at karaoke for you, you’d be totally swept away, right? I think it would make for a truly memorable birthday.
As expected, the wonderful lyrics and music really leave a deep impression.
Good Child’s Birthday SongUeda Marie
If you’re looking for a birthday song with a heartwarming piano tone and a sophisticated pop arrangement, I recommend a track by singer-songwriter Marie Ueda.
Released in September 2020, this song was born from a special project in which Ueda composed and completed it within 25 hours to celebrate her own 30th birthday.
Carried by the piano’s gentle melody, it conveys the excitement of facing a birthday cake and a warm message about cherishing this once-in-a-lifetime day.
It’s perfect for celebrating in a calm, intimate atmosphere rather than at a lively party.
Consider choosing it as background music to quietly convey your heartfelt feelings to a dear friend or partner.
Happy BirthdayOKAMOTO’S
It’s an upbeat, high-tempo song that really gets you going.
I think it’s also perfect as background music for a big birthday party.
Since it’s so bright and cheerful, it can make a fun birthday even more enjoyable.
I recommend it to people who like catchy, energetic tracks.
BirthdayKaty Perry
When you want to throw a full-on birthday celebration with disco vibes, Katy Perry’s track is just the ticket.
Included on her 2013 album Prism and released as a single starting in April 2014, it’s a buoyant dance number.
On the surface it’s a happy birthday anthem, but it also playfully hints that “the best present is me,” adding a flirty, grown-up twist.
The song even topped Billboard’s Dance Club Songs chart, making it a perfect pick for party moods.
Why not use it to add humor and make a loved one’s birthday an unforgettable day?
Birthday Song -2022 ver.-yuka
It’s a heartwarming birthday song that feels like it’s gently telling a loved one, “I know all the effort you’ve put in.” Based on a song singer-songwriter Yuka wrote for a friend, it delivers a straight-to-the-heart message of celebration that truly resonates.
After earlier original versions, this piece was released with a new arrangement in February 2022.
You can sense how precious it is to Yuka herself—she’s even described it as “a song that was born seven years ago today.” It’s perfect not only for a partner or friends, but also for expressing gratitude to the family who always watches over you.
Use it as background music for a message video, and it’s sure to be an unforgettable surprise!
Happy birthdayKetsumeishi
A Ketsumeishi track that celebrates the birthday person while also expressing gratitude to the mom who gave birth to them! Included on the album “Ketsuno Police 5,” this song is filled with birthday cheer from start to finish.
It’s perfect not only as a gift from a boyfriend to his girlfriend on her birthday, but also from a dad to his child—and through that, to the mom as well! It’s a birthday song that will bring happiness not just to the girlfriend celebrating her birthday, but also to her mom—truly a tune I’d especially recommend to women.
Happy BirthdayFUNKY MONKEY BABYS
It’s a song from a man’s perspective about making various preparations to celebrate someone special’s birthday.
I realized that having someone who wants to celebrate your birthday like in this song is truly something to be grateful for, and I felt I should appreciate it.
It’s one of my favorite songs by Fanmon.
