"Birthday" is the debut single of Canadian-Dutch-Korean singer-songwriter based in South Korea Somi. The song was released by The Black Label on June 13, 2019.

Composition

"Birthday" was written by Teddy, Brother Su, Bekuh Boom and Danny Chung; composed by Teddy, 24, Bekuh Boom and Somi; and arranged by 24 and R.Tee.[2] It is a dance track described as a funky, clap-happy piece of hip-pop confection. The lyrics follow the singer celebrating herself in a refreshing way.[1]

"Outta My Head" is the other song on the single album, written by Somi, who also participated in its composition alongside 24.[3] It was arranged by 24 and described as an alt-R&B track.[1]

It wasn't confirmed if the release will be a single or an EP.[5]

Shortly after, The Black Label confirmed that Somi will debut in May and that the song produced by Teddy was finished, but the format of the release was not confirmed.[6] Two days later, the agency confirmed that Somi will debut on May 1.[7]

On April 29, it was reported that her debut date was delayed due to internal issues in her agency and the anticipated date of her debut is now late May. It was also cited that the delay was in order to consider the quality of the album.[8] Shortly after, the agency stated that "her album production is complete but the timing of her debut has not been decided yet." It was also added that the music video was not filmed yet.[9]
