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

Mamacita, mamacita
Senorita vena qui

Kawari, kawari, kawari 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
Get it over there, and get it over there
I'mma throw my hands up in the air,

Baby be my baby
We gon' burn the town, 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 we don't care
Where the ladies? Where the girls?

Pretty ladies around the world

Uh oh, here we go, here we go
Tell the people, in the disco
Burn it down to the floor
'Cause we don't care
We got our hands up in the air
Everybody in the party, we party like its everybody's birthday
The song "It's My Birthday" by Cody Wise and will.i.am is a celebration of one's special day. The upbeat tempo and catchy chorus make it an appealing party anthem. The repetition of "It's my birthday" emphasizes the spontaneity and excitement of the occasion. The lyrics encourage listeners to spend their money and live their fantasies. The idea of letting loose and not worrying about the problems of the world is also emphasized, creating an environment for fun and enjoyment. The use of various languages adds international flair and shows the universality of birthday celebrations.
The song’s lyrics are simple and easy to memorize making it a popular karaoke track. Interestingly, it was first released as a free download on will.i.am’s website before it was officially released as a single in 2014. The song was a commercial success, charting in several countries around the world, including the UK, France, and Australia. Apparently, will.i.am recorded his part of this song in eight different countries as he was travelling around the world promoting his album. This resulted in the song having a chaotic sound that enhances its party vibe. The phrase "Lord have mercy" has been used multiple times in the song, which is a typical expression used by Black Southerners and in African American gospel and blues music.
The song has been used in various TV shows and movies, including a scene in the movie "Pitch Perfect 2". "It's My Birthday" reached ten million views on YouTube within two weeks after its release. This song marks Cody Wise’s first collaboration with will.i.am, who discovered him at the young age of 17. Also, aside from being a singer and songwriter like will.i.am, the teenage pop artist also danced and acted on occasion. Finally, the song is believed to have been inspired by will.i.am’s own birthday.
Chords for the song are not available at the moment.
