Every time we celebrate a birthday, we can always hear the familiar song Happy Birthday to You. Although it’s indeed the most classic song to expresss 「Happy birthday」, it seems nothing new after being heard so many times. To bring something new for your birthday party, V specially collated a different birthday song menu. Besides Happy Birthday to You, what other wishing songs could you pick on birthday? Let’s appreciate these three happy Birthday songs!
每次慶祝生日時，我們總能聽到《祝你生日快樂》這首耳熟能詳的歌曲。雖然它確實是表達生日祝福的經典曲目，但聽多了總覺得缺少了一些新意。為了給大家的生日party帶來新鮮的聽覺享受，小V特地整理了不一樣的生日專享曲目。在生日那天，除了《祝你生日快樂》，你還可以pick哪些祝福曲目呢？讓我們一起聽聽這三首歡快熱鬧的《Birthday》吧~
When you’re with me
I』ll make it like your birthday everyday
The first recommended song Birthday is sung by Katy Perry. The song shows the unique style of retro disco dance with a relaxing and cheerful melody. It’s noteworthy that Katy uses some singing techniques like rising and falling pitch and falsetto, which shows her incredible vocals and highlights the song’s energy and jollification.
第一首小V要推薦的是由水果姐演唱的《Birthday》。整首歌展現著復古迪斯科舞曲的獨特風格，旋律輕鬆歡快。值得一提的是，水果姐在這首歌中運用了忽高忽低的轉音和假音等技巧，在展現自身驚豔唱功的同時，也突顯了歌曲的活力，烘託了熱鬧的氣氛。
Some mind games in this song are surprising too. For example, when Katy sings 「Pop your perigon」, we can also hear the clear sound of opening a bottle of champagne, which makes the audience feel like truly in the birthday party. Besides, 「Happy birthday」 only appears twice in this song, but every time we would be tempted by Katy’s sweet voice, which could be called the punchline of the song.
歌曲中的一些小心機也十分讓人驚喜。比如，水果姐在唱道「Pop your perigon」這一句時，我們能清楚聽到開香檳酒那一刻起蓋的清脆聲音，仿若真的置身生日宴會中。另外，雖然「Happy birthday」在歌曲中只出現了兩次，但每次出現，我們都能被水果姐那酥酥甜甜的語調撩到，因此，這兩句也堪稱是這首歌的點睛之筆。

Selena’s Birthday written specifically for birthday carnival is more orgiastic than Katy’s Birthday!
賽琳娜的這首《Birthday》較水果姐的那首更為狂歡，簡直是為生日慶典量身打造的一首歌曲！
「Tell』em that is my birthday」 repeated three times at the beginning sets the cool sytle for the song, and the electronic element makes it more modern and amusing. The birthday carnival’s hilarity is expressed clearly by the repeat of a few lines, cool rhythm and Selena’s sweet voice and excited singing. Especially the clear and crisp 「jazz it up」 pushes the passionate atmosphere to the climax.
開頭重複三次的「Tell』em that is my birthday」，奠定了歌曲酷拽炸的風格，電音元素使歌曲更具現代化、娛樂化。僅靠短短幾句歌詞的重複，伴以酷炫的強烈節奏感及賽琳娜甜酷的嗓音和興奮的演唱，無一不淋漓展現了party的狂歡與盡興。尤其是那句「jazz it up」乾脆利落，把整首歌的氣氛推向了高潮。
Tell』em that is my birthday
告訴全世界，今天是我的生日
When I party like that
當我像今天這麼嗨
Jazz it up, jazz it up
大家一起嗨到爆
Happy as can be,
falling into you, falling into me
一起放聲大笑吧，跳著步伐一致的舞蹈
How do you do, calling me the queen,
cake and cream
你會怎麼做，叫我女王，蛋糕和奶油散落一地
Blow your dreams, blow your dreams,
blow your dreams away with me
我像一陣風一樣帶走的你的夢想
Feeling fine and free
感覺快樂又自由
Crashing into you,
crashing into me, so yummy
一起在舞池共舞，太棒了
It’s all I wanna do,
come and dance with me, pretty please
這就是我想要的一切，來和我一起共舞吧
It』s my birthday
I’ma do what I like
The last Birthday is the debut of Anne-Marie, British black belt singer, after she came back, and is also the theme song of her second album, released in February this year. The song’s active instrument mixed with Anne’s powerful singing and her cool voice highlights the freedom on birthday. And the dynamic rhythm is also used by fitness queen Pamela as the background music in her fitness class video, so it is also a good choice for you when you are about to do sports. In addition, the added soul music element adds lyrical color to the song and goes well with the break-up plot in the song.
最後一首《Birthday》發布於今年2月份，是英國黑帶歌姬安妮全新回歸後的首支單曲，也是她第二張專輯的主打歌。這首歌的編曲活潑，電音元素與安妮充滿力量的唱腔和「御姐」聲線相互融合，突顯出生日當天隨心所欲的狀態。動感的節拍引得健身女王帕梅拉也在其健身教程視頻中選用這首歌作為背景音樂，所以，在你要做運動的時候，這首歌也是背景音樂的不錯選擇哦。另外，靈魂樂元素的融入為這首歌增添了抒情色彩，更加符合歌詞中表達的失戀情節。
It’s worth mentioning that the clothes, make-up and props of this song’s music video are all in pink. The fancy scene makes the audience aspire for such a pink birthday (party) as well!」
值得一提的是，歌曲MV中的服化道皆是粉色，場景十分夢幻，使得網友紛紛羨慕，直呼「我也想要一個這樣的粉紅色生日（派對）！」
I’m another year old
我又長了一歲
I won’t cry about you anymore
