Disclosure, Kehlani & Syd - Birthday Lyrics

Disclosure, Kehlani & Syd Lyrics

"Birthday"

Oh babe, oh babe
You've been on my mind
Just an old flame, old flame
I left you behind
But, oh, if it were any other day
Maybe you'd want me to stay away
I'm just wonderin' what you would say
Or would it be a big mistake?

Can I call you on your birthday?
Just to make sure that you're okay
Would you prefer it if I'd go ghost?
And let you go your own way
Can I call you on your birthday?
Just to make sure that you're okay
Got the number to your old phone
But is it working?

Yeah
I ain't even callin' for no reconciliation
I just want to tap in and see how you been
I've waited for an adequate amount of time
To give us both some space
I think it's been good for us to stay up out of the way
But it can't hurt to check up on an ex, not to flex
But to put the hurt to rest, put maturity to the test
So I'm callin' to say "Are you okay?" on your special day

Can I call you on your birthday?
Just to make sure that you're okay
Would you prefer it if I'd go ghost?
And let you go your own way
Can I call you on your birthday?
Just to make sure that you're okay
Got the number to your old phone
But is it working?

If I called you on your birthday?
Would it be worth it?
Should I call you on your birthday?

Can I call you on your birthday?
Just to make sure that you're okay
Would you prefer it if I'd go ghost?
And let you go your own way
Can I call you on your birthday?
Just to make sure that you're okay
Got the number to your old phone
But is it working?

But is it working?
Emotion aside
Emotion aside
Emotion aside
Emotion aside

"Birthday" is the sixth single from Disclosure's third studio album, "Energy". The song was premiered on August 26, 2020.

Guy Lawrence of Disclosure stated about "Birthday" in a press release, "It's the oldest song on the album by far so has definitely stood the test of time and deservedly made the cut. And the addition of Kehlani just took it to the next level and turned into a fire duet."

Disclosure's Howard Lawrence said of this song, "Syd and I were going through a similar thing at the time, trying to work out if it was cool to call your ex to say 'Hi' or is it too awkward/mean to do so out of the blue?"
