K-POP Songs to Give on a Birthday (1–10)
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOUNAYEON
Just for today, I want to forget about the world and savor the happiness of being with my partner.
This is a birthday song that sings of that wish.
It’s a medium-tempo number by Nayeon from TWICE, included on her 2022 solo debut mini-album “IM NAYEON.” There are things only long-time friends, family, or lovers can understand about each other, right? And in the midst of that, you sometimes find you’re two of a kind.
When I listen to this song, I’m wrapped in a very calm feeling as I wish for the other person’s happiness.
Its serene atmosphere makes me believe it will stay in our hearts for a long time.
MY TREASURETREASURE
This is the lead track from YG’s major group TREASURE, released on their January 2021 album “THE FIRST STEP : TREASURE EFFECT.” It’s a healing song overflowing with a colorful worldview and TREASURE’s adorable charm.
It’s simply the best.
The positive messages like “Don’t worry” and “Let’s shine together” are uplifting to listen to.
The heart-shaped formation in the music video also radiates love, making it a perfect fit for a happy birthday vibe, don’t you think?
HBD To YouCSR
The seven-member girl group CSR (Cheotsarang) has been delivering melodies that evoke nostalgia and courage since their debut.
Their song “HBD To You” is a special track released to celebrate the first anniversary of their official fan club, MAEUM.
Its warm lyrics overflow with gratitude for someone celebrating a birthday, reminding us of the happiness of spending time with those we cherish.
In the music video, the members are shown thoughtfully preparing a heartfelt celebration.
It’s sure to be the perfect birthday song for friends, partners, or family.

CAKEITZY
It’s great to celebrate a birthday with an upbeat dance track, isn’t it? In that spirit, I’d like to introduce “CAKE.” It’s a song released by the girl group ITZY.
Set to a hip-hop-influenced sound, the lyrics convey a message about powering through tough days.
That makes it perfect for sending encouragement, too.
By the way, the “CAKE” that appears in the title and lyrics isn’t just the dessert—it’s also slang for something that’s a piece of cake, meaning easy.
My YouJung Kook of BTS
The romantic “My You” is a self-composed solo song by Jungkook, the youngest member of BTS, released in 2022.
Its Western pop vibe is also emotionally stirring.
It’s a song filled with heartfelt feelings for ARMY, while also working as a birthday song of gratitude.
With the kind of exquisitely beautiful expression that is so characteristic of Jungkook, it strings together lovely words that are usually too embarrassing to say out loud.
His beautiful vocals are a major highlight as well, and hearing words like those in this song would surely make anyone happy.
Be sure to send your gratitude to someone special along with “My You.”
Happy Birthday To Youjoy
If you’re looking for a cute birthday song, you should definitely listen to “Happy Birthday To You.” It’s included on Joy from Red Velvet’s 2021 solo debut remake cover album, “Hello.” With a mid-tempo, sparkling sound, the lyrics let you savor the simple joy of celebrating a birthday, all expressed in Joy’s own color.
The dynamic finish at the end is fun too, wrapping you in a perfectly happy-birthday mood!
Better Than BirthdayO3ohn
O3ohn is a singer-songwriter in South Korea who has worked on numerous TV drama OSTs.
His 2022 track “Better Than Birthday” is a love song that expresses caring for someone else even more than your own birthday.
Accompanied by gentle guitar and synth tones, his soft vocals offer a soothing touch.
It works well as a birthday song for yourself or someone special, and also as a message song to give to a loved one.
With chill beats that blend seamlessly into everyday life, this warming track wraps the heart in comfort.
