Birthday songs in Western music (21–30)
Happy BirthdayLoretta Lynn21rank/position
Loretta Lynn is a singer-songwriter who represents the American country music scene and is often called the “Queen of Country.” Her powerful yet approachable voice has captivated countless fans.
Her song “Happy Birthday,” featured here, was released as a single in November 1964.
At first glance it seems like a cheerful birthday song, but it actually carries a slightly bittersweet theme: while mixing in Christmas and New Year’s greetings, it bids farewell to a lover.
The song became a hit, reaching No.
3 on the country charts at the time.
It’s a birthday tune with a sophisticated, adult mood—something a little different from a simple celebratory song.
It’s My BirthdayMya22rank/position
Mya is an American singer-songwriter and actress.
In 2002, together with P!NK, Christina Aguilera, and Lil’ Kim, she won a Grammy Award for “Lady Marmalade.” This song is from the North America–exclusive deluxe edition of her 2011 album K.I.S.S.
(Keep It Sexy & Simple).
Birthday SongDon McLean23rank/position
Don McLean is a quintessential singer-songwriter of folk and folk rock.
While his name may not be widely recognized in Japan, he was an extremely popular artist in the United States.
His signature work, “American Pie,” gained fame for its complex lyrics and continues to be analyzed today.
As a birthday song by him, I recommend “Birthday Song.” If you enjoy a calm, bossa nova-like style of folk, be sure to check it out.
Six Feet UnderNo Doubt24rank/position
No Doubt, a hugely popular rock band with over 27 million records sold worldwide.
Their musical style uniquely blends alternative rock, pop rock, and ska punk, and their sophisticated, multi-layered sound has earned widespread acclaim, including two Grammy Awards in the past.
Their classic track “Six Feet Under” is known as their birthday song.
Pay attention to the melody, where a dirty edge and pop vibes intertwine!
We Can’t StopMiley Cyrus25rank/position
Miley Cyrus, the daughter of Billy Ray Cyrus—one of the most popular country musicians—is an artist who rocketed to stardom with Hannah Montana.
Early on she had a cute image, but lately her sexy, even highly provocative behavior has stood out.
Her song “We Can’t Stop” is a work themed around a birthday party—or so it seems.
In fact, it carries a hidden theme of illicit drugs.
Be sure to check it out!
Safe And SoundCapital Cities26rank/position
Capital Cities is an electro-pop rock duo from Los Angeles.
While they aren’t widely known in Japan, they’re very popular among fans of techno music.
Their track “Safe and Sound,” released in 2011, reached No.
8 on the U.S.
Billboard Hot 100.
It’s a love song, but the lyrics also make it a perfect fit for a birthday song! Be sure to check it out!
Just DanceLady Gaga27rank/position
Lady Gaga is famous for her eccentric fashion and lyrics.
Her popularity was tremendous for a time, wasn’t it? These days, her fame has settled down, and she’s exploring a variety of songs.
“Just Dance” is an early track in her career, released in 2008 as a birthday song.
At that time, her fashion wasn’t all that outlandish, and the track features a catchy pop melody.

It’s a birthday song crafted with a funky sound.
On Top Of The WorldImagine Dragons29rank/position
