Birthday songs in Western music (31–40)
What’s My Age Again?blink-18236rank/position
Blink-182, who have blazed a trail down the main road of pop-punk, released this song in 1999 as a lead single from the album Enema of the State.
From its ear-catching arpeggiated intro, it plunges straight into a high-velocity, exhilarating chorus—a textbook example of pop-punk done right.
The lyrics self-deprecatingly, yet endearingly, portray a self who can’t quite grow up, expressing the mixed feelings about getting older with plenty of humor.
The track peaked at No.
2 on the Billboard Modern Rock Tracks chart and stayed near the top for ten weeks.
Its music video—packed with the band’s prankish antics as they sprint around town—also drew lots of attention.
It’s the perfect song to keep you company in those moments when you hit a birthday and can’t help but chuckle, “Wait, how old am I again?”

It’s a party anthem that portrays singing, dancing, and striking up conversations with someone special.
Why not use this energetic song as the background music to elevate that once-a-year special day?
Birthday Song ft. Kanye West2 Chainz38rank/position
The rapper 2 Chainz, from College Park, Georgia.
He may not be familiar to the general public, but among hip-hop heads in Japan, he’s considered one of the legends.
His “Birthday Song ft.
Kanye West” is known as his birthday anthem, and it became a major hit, partly because it features internationally popular rapper Kanye West.
It’s recommended for those who find typical birthday songs a bit bland.
Happy Birthday to YouMildred J. Hill, Patty Smith Hill39rank/position
Behind the creation of the birthday song beloved around the world lies the story of two American sisters, Mildred J.
Hill and Patty Smith Hill.
In 1893, the sisters, who were kindergarten teachers, composed a morning greeting song for children.
Born from pure intentions, its melody eventually transformed into a song celebrating birthdays, passed down across generations and borders.
Recognized by Guinness World Records as the most well-known song in the English-speaking world and translated into 18 languages, it is also famous for Marilyn Monroe’s 1962 birthday performance dedicated to President John F.
Kennedy.
With its simple, warm, three-beat melody filled with heartfelt congratulations, it is the perfect gift to convey your feelings on a loved one’s special day.
Happy Birthday to You40rank/position
A standard number beloved around the world and indispensable for birthday celebrations.
Its origins are said to trace back to a greeting song published in 1893 by Patty Hill and Mildred J.
Hill, which over many years took on the form we know today.
The song made major headlines in 2016 when it entered the public domain in the United States, officially becoming a song that can be freely used for celebrations from a legal standpoint.
In 1998, it was even cited by Guinness World Records as “the most recognized song in the English-speaking world,” a testament to its overwhelming fame.
It has been used extensively in films and television, and its simple triple-meter melody makes it easy for anyone to join in spontaneously.
At the climax of a party gathered around the cake, be sure to sing it together with everyone.
