Justin Bieber – Hold Tight (Official Audio)

Justin Bieber’s 2013 R&B-style track blends an electro, dark atmosphere grounded in a minor key with a powerful sound that conveys a strong resolve to protect love.

His signature glossy high-tone vocals shine, adding a dramatic flair.

Birthday PartyAJR16rank/position

AJR – Birthday Party (Official Audio)

A quirky birthday song by AJR, a trio of brothers based in New York.

They’re known for their DIY style of crafting global hits right from their living room.

This track appears on their April 2019 album Neotheater.

Sung from the perspective of a newborn baby, it captivates with a unique worldview that blends anticipation and irony about the world they’re about to face.

It brilliantly fuses a distinctive sound—sampling a piece used in a David Lynch film—with a catchy pop melody.

Perfect for those who find standard celebration songs a bit bland or want to spice up a party with something offbeat.

Why not gift it to a music-loving friend as a dose of black humor?

BirthdayThe Beatles17rank/position

Birthday (Remastered 2009)

The Beatles, a British rock band that was hugely active from the 1960s to the 1970s, are said to be the greatest band of the 20th century, having influenced contemporary music, and they are even featured in Japanese textbooks.

Indeed, they have had an enormous impact on commercial music.

The birthday song I’d like to recommend from them is “Birthday.” It’s famous as a song co-written by Paul McCartney and John Lennon, and it gained popularity for its catchy melody and lyrics.

Happy BirthdayThe Click Five20rank/position

Happy Birthday

The Click Five, a Boston rock band whose appeal extended beyond the boundaries of power pop.

They’re known for catchy melodies and a sound that modernly reinterprets pop from the ’60s to the ’80s.

From their album “Modern Minds and Pastimes,” here’s one track I’d recommend as a slightly different kind of celebratory song.

Contrary to its title, it’s a slightly bittersweet number that expresses regret and lingering feelings over forgetting someone’s birthday.

Released in 2007, it enjoyed strong popularity across Asia, including reaching No.

1 on a Singaporean radio station.

Its bright, bursting guitar riffs and exhilarating melodies are perfect for anyone wanting to soak in the sweet-and-sour mood of youth.

Happy BirthdayLoretta Lynn21rank/position

Loretta Lynn – Happy Birthday

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.
