Happy BirthdayTiny Moving Parts93rank/position
Tiny Moving Parts is a rock band from the United States that has earned support in the emo and math rock scenes.
Formed by two brothers and their cousin, the band is known for its impressionistic take on emo and math rock with unconventional structures.
Among their songs, the one I’d recommend as a birthday song is “Happy Birthday.” Compared to their other tracks, it’s crafted in a relatively orthodox emo style.
Its energetic sound also makes it a great pick when you’re feeling down.
BirthdayTwista94rank/position
Twista, a rapper known as a leading figure among fast-rapping MCs.
As a master of rapid-fire flow, he’s recognized for having especially high-level skills even among many famous rappers.
His track “Birthday” is known as his birthday song; while it didn’t become a major hit compared to some of his other work, it earned high praise among heads.
The flow and rhymes on this one are fierce—if you’re into hip-hop, definitely give it a listen.
BirthdayUsher x Zaytoven95rank/position
Released in October 2018 to coincide with Usher’s 40th birthday, this track from the album “A” was made expressly for celebration.
Produced by Atlanta trap pioneer Zaytoven, it brilliantly blends a bouncy beat with Usher’s catchy vocals.
The lyrics favor a mood of festivity and self-affirmation over introspective drama, and just listening lifts your spirits.
It’s perfect for getting everyone dancing at a party or hyping up the birthday star.
While it shines in the club, it still retains strong melodic elements that will satisfy R&B fans.
If you’re looking for a stylish, fun birthday BGM, this is a must-try track.
