Disclosure Birthday

Disclosure is set to drop off their upcoming album Energy on Friday, having already set the tone with the titular lead single a few months back. Now, the duo has returned with another taste of the project, this time connecting with Kehlani and Syd for the uptempo “Birthday.” Described by Disclosure member Guy Lawrence as a “foundational song on the record,” the lively single’s creation actually brought the pair out of their comfort zone.

Speaking with Zane Lowe on Apple Music, Disclosure explained that they much preferred to create music in the studio, working with artists to capture an organic vibe then and there. Yet in the case of “Birthday,” Kehlani actually received the song after the fact, having had it sent to her by Syd. “We had to just trust Kehlani to understand the vibe of the song and to really feel the vibe of it,” explains Howard Lawrence.  “And it’s the first time we’ve ever done that, and we were lucky, I think, because Kehlani nailed this first one. She came back and there was nothing we wanted to change. It was just perfect.”

Lyrics

[Verse 1: Syd]
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?

[Chorus: Syd]
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?

[Verse 2: Kehlani]
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

[Chorus: Syd]
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?

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

[Chorus: Syd]
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?

[Outro]
But is it working?
Emotion aside
Ah
Am I makin’ your day?
