It's My Birthday Lyrics

It's My Birthday
It's my birthday
I'mma spend my money
It's my birthday
It's my birthday
I'mma spend my money
It's my birthday
It's my birthday
I'mma live my fantasy
It's my birthday
It's my birthday
I'mma live my fantasy

I'mma turn up
We can turn up
We can take it higher
We can burn up
We can burn up
Set this place on fire
Oh it's hot, oh it's hot
Damn it's hot ooh baby
I won't stop, we won't stop
We gon' get real crazy

I'mma spend a dollar, dollar, dollar, dollar
We gon' put it down like we don't care
I'mma throw my hands up in the air, the air, the air
I'mma call you mama
Mami call me papa
We gon' get down like you know what's up
The world don't matter,
Your problem don't matter
Cause we gon' get dumb, dumb-dumb dum-dettah

It's my birthday
It's my birthday
I'mma spend my money
Pretty lady, pretty lady
You should be my honey
Lot of mercy, lot of mercy
Pretty baby, come with me
It's my birthday
It's my birthday
I'mma live my fantasy

It's my birthday
It's my birthday
I'mma spend a dollar
Pretty lady, pretty lady
Won't you let me holler
Holler at you, holler at you
Won't you be my fantasy
Girl, I got you, girl, I got you
You look like my destiny

Mamacita, mamacita
Señorita ven aquí
Qué bonita, qué bonita
I can speak in Japanese
Kawaii, kawaii, kawaii
I want your body
Come with me, come with me
Come with me, girl, let's go party

I'mma give a dollar, dollar, dollar, dollar
Get it over here, and get it over there
I'mma throw my hands up in the air, the air, the air
I'mma call you baby
Baby be my baby
We can burn it down, get down, and crazy
Time for drinks, no time to think
Let's do our thing

I'mma go spend some dollars
Go on and scream and holler
Put my hands in the air
Party like I don't care
Where the ladies, where the girls
It's a party, come with me
Pretty ladies around the world
It's a party, come with me

It's my birthday
It's my birthday
I'mma spend my money
Pretty lady, pretty lady
You should be my honey
Lot of mercy, lot of mercy
Pretty baby, come with me
It's my birthday
It's my birthday
I'mma live my fantasy
Here we go, here we go
Tell the people in the disco
Burn it down to the floor
'Cause we don't care, care, care
We got our hands up into the air
Everybody in the party
We party like it's everybody's birthday-day

It's My Birthday

Will.i.am collaborated with Cody Wise for this Bollywood inspired track. The American recording artist is signed to Interscope Records through The Black Eyed Pea leader's imprint. The song was released on May 27, 2014 after will.i.am previwed it on Alan Carr's UK Chatty Man show on April 6th.

Will.i.am wrote the tune with Cody Wise and Keith Harris (Madonna, Robin Thicke). The intro and outro is heavily based on the Tamil song "Urvasi Urvasi", originally composed by A. R. Rahman. "I fell in love with the song and wanted to interpret it," Will.i.am told Jimmy Fallon in a Tonight Show exclusive. "We took portions of that song and put it over today's thick, urban electronic-type beat."

The single was originally named 'Birthday' but it was changed to 'It's My Birthday' to avoid confusion with the Katy Perry song of the same title.

The song borrows from the popular Jamaican songs "Pull Up To Mi Bumper" by Konshens & J Capri and "Fi Di Jockey" by Aidonia, giving it a dancehall vibe. The tune also samples Bounty Killer chanting "Big Ship Sailing."

This was will.i.am's tenth #1 on the UK singles chart. He'd previously achieved five chart-toppers as a member of Black Eyed Peas, two under his own name, and was a featured artist on Usher's "OMG" and The Script's "Hall Of Fame."

Will.i.am sings about living every day as if it's your birthday. "You get a license to do whatever you want on your birthday," he explained. "I try to live in that celebrative, who-gives-a-f perspective and celebrate every day as if it was my birthday."
