The lyrics of "Happy Birthday" by New Kids on the Block depict a celebratory and enthusiastic tone for the occasion of the listener's birthday. The song starts with the chorus wishing the listener a very happy birthday and proclaiming it as their special day. The band promises to love the recipient in every possible manner on their birthday. There is an emphasis on the importance of the day that comes only once a year, and how wonderful the individual is in everything they do.
The second verse reinforces the idea that despite getting older, one should never stop having fun and enjoying life. Age is just a number, and the birthday person is still young at heart. The chorus repeats itself, emphasizing that the day belongs to the listener and how everybody thinks they are special.
