This is masterpiece others cant digest the song but for me its addicting and refreshing at the same time. Remember red velvet is diverse genre group.

I love this album! This particular song gives me peek a boo meets zimzalabim meets ice cream cake! Hopefully it will grow on you!

B-SIDES IN THE ALBUM ARE SUCH A BOMB✅ Birthday is such an amazing album loved it alot💖

[@chyuck8915]

To be honest, the title song has a lot of likes and dislikes. But the b-sides on this album are crazy!!!! I really liked this title song because I could feel the feeling of Red Velvet's early debut.💗💛💚💙💜

[@sanshinee_4312]

For me, I like all songs from this album!!! The title and the bsides are soo good. Luv for birthday

[@sakesojusoda]

imagine the joy of every producer working with red velvet... they can just go ham with the music production without fearing that the vocals might get overwhelmed by the production the true vocal queens 💗💛💙💚💜

as sm music listener there always gonna be masterpiece song and weird song all in positive way,, this song is in weird category but I still enjoying it because rv's vocals, the savior. and the MV, my eyes is so blessing and always make some curiosity . SM MV production is always top tier they never put some random things to the MV beside there is a sign and relate to the their colour and lore

another grower song but I actually liked it as soon as I heard it maybe I'm used to it since I'm a sm stan, listening to their bside in this album is a must !!

[@Amylian4]

What happens with a group this good at singing is that they always will do good music, u can be confident on that U.U

[@Lyf4rMusic]

After hearing this song for the 1st time, I definitely felt that this wouldn't be your musical tastes :) I was like that too, but after 2 days of listening to the album, I have no skips at all !!

The song is better on it's own without the video. It was the same thing for FMR. The video is awesome but the song is amazing with a nice pair of headphones. So many interesting things going on in the background.

[@bdzmru8489]

Every single song in this cb was 😘👌

[@Jeanbrt1]

The world was not ready for this masterpiece

[@Ugk871]

Birthday is the best out of the best Red Velvet album for me. Imagine when you have only the best albums under your belt. For me, this is the best comeback. I just love the quirky mood

[@mercuryshinki7652]

Actually this song sounds like a nct dream format song, either hello future or something else, but it’s purely a pop song meant for happiness

[@scube2069]

I didn't love this song at first listen, but it's now growing on me.

[@isacastrocabarcas7325]

This song reminds me to power up and red flavor, maybe because of the sounds of a videogame and the harmonizations. It's an amazing song, i loved it since i first listened to it.

[@evicas]

yeah the title track is not for everyone this time! i could say it’s a grower but i don’t really think it’s your taste so idk… i’m excited to watch your reactions to the b-sides, it’s really good and maybe more of your taste? let’s see

[@christopherh2694]

Its a lot first listen but its 10/10 for me shortly after. This song slaps

ALBUM OF THE YEAR STRAIGHT UP ❤️

[@tamahadia1806]

people need to know that is reve festival like zimzalabim

[@vealyhuynhgia4061]

This song stuck in my head after a several listen !!!

[@khangkhungkernitz3388]

I love birthday but i think "on a ride" would be the title track of the album. The vibe and the swag of the song is just 🔥🔥🔥

[@thezircadia]

But DID you like Zimzalabim? Did you ever end up liking Zimzalabim? (No really, I can't remember.... I've watched probably all of your RV reactions but it's been a while...) It definitely seems to be having a Zimzalabim like effect on some people where it is somewhat divisive. I predict you will LOVE bsides on this track. Birthday is not my #1 song on the album, but my number 1 to 5 difference is veryvery tiny and I put Birthday #4. The prechorus is LUSH (as you noted, your favorite part!) into the cool percussion build into the chorus. The chorus is where things sound more experimental, and that's where it tends to lose people who are not expecting that direction for a chorus. I think that is the part that's throwing people off the most because they are not expecting the experimental sounds to take place at that place in the song - it's not giving what they want to hear/expect to hear in a chorus. People also expect to hear a lush bridge from Red Velvet when the song is uptempo/quirky (ala Zimzalabim) - instead we get a badass guitar dance break bridge with animation fight scene. When I listen to it and hear all the vocal harmonies EVERYWHERE and the chorus added elements each time (last chorus fave!) - it's hard not to love this song. I get that not every song is for everybody, but I will explain exactly why I love it so much for anyone on the fence! :D First of all - the sample. The sample is SO COOL - I don't even think it's a literal sample, I could be wrong but I think they recreated a motive from Rhapsody in Blue with the sounds that the brass uses at times during the piece but I don't think the brass actually play that motive with that sound? I may be misremembering, I tried to find it after watching the video and thinking this, but I didn't catch it. The sample is integrated so seamlessly, but more of a background element than the foreground sampling of Feel My Rhythm - where it is literally the lifeblood of the entire song. Next - alllll the references. The references are extra cool because they vary in how they're done, like is it a moment, a line, a title.... Favorite vocal performance moments if you decide to ever give it another chance to win you over (Not even gonna talk about the prechorus because it's killer every time and you're already sold hahaha): 47 seconds into the original MV, octave jumps for "Dumb-dumb" line (song reference) into the Diamonds bit (those harmonies diiaaamooooonds - Diamond also being a reference to the Aseul song title) 52 seconds in we get Yeri's RAP - she keeps leveling up. around 2min in - the second verse - you noticed Joy's brilliant octave jump, but blew right past one of my favorite moments right after that, Wendy's descending run when she says the corners of her mouth go UP - wowwwwwww it's one of the most gorgeous lines I've heard. We've not got ad libs (a lot of Seulgi here!) going from prechorus into the chorus and they are gorgeous - Then it's the bridge/dance break - Baaaaaaaaam yeah yeah - WHEW I love this part. The guitar sounds start getting more forefront instead of back in the mix and it gets super badass. And the harmonies for the vocal parts in this section are ridiculous - they are instrumental, backing vocal style, and they are stunning. Then in the final chorus we have Wendy's countermelodic line! And then on Icy Icy you have to listen to the added harmony that goes up on each "icy"!

[@mariaeduardamcoelho832]

zoom is my fav from the album

[@Marine-yl5gd]

Probably their best title track ! The chorus is sooo good !! ✨ and that instrumental is everything, especially during the verses ♥️

[@parkjoytea6362]

Red velvet don't repeat anything so I am always ready for surprises

[@bitiabarrera470]

I was waiting for this💗

[@JL-jg8tr]

Thank you for your reaction. I know you like the Velvet side as do I, but I’m still impressed with the whole album, especially Zoom. Please consider reacting to Joy and Wonstein. Thank you.

[@tamahadia1806]

so red velvet known for their different concepts , I really like the bravery that girls had to make different song even in one album,,, like feel my rhythm at first I couldn't hear it but now I'm addicted to it ... more than psycho and bad boy

[@yspekpop]

Наверное, для меня после Zimzalabim всё кажется таким складным, все части песни так плавно перетекают одна в другую :D Но из всего мне больше нравится короткий отрывочек после первого припева с Джой и часть с гитарой. Эта новая трилогия основана на классических сэмплах, так что я уже заинтригована, что будет в третьей части. Не могу дождаться реакции на би-сайды. Bye Bye шедевр

[@KathyLuvSNSD]

Bsides are awesome..love the album so much

[@rowenasulla2705]

I promise that this song will grow for some who didn't like it on first listen. My opinion in this song is about stuff that it's not for me but after listening a lot of times, it's always inside my head even before I sleep then I suddenly find myself vibing and singing together with this song❤ I mean as expected from Red Velvet, they never make a bad song and that's one of the reason why I love them so much! Even the whole album has a big potential to be a Title track as in EVERY song in album! What can I say? Reveluv is one of hell'a lucky fans🔥🔥🔥

[@asareirene]

Why do you listen to it a lot of times? That's an unnatural way of getting yourself to like a song

[@ireneserrano4570]

The first listen i felt like wait wait, i had to think about the song. The 2nd listen? ALL INTO IT!!!! Now i'm obsessed!

[@mochi2475]

Again and again when you listen to this title track you find the layers: vocals, bass, and the most important part, the guitar. The drum is standing outside these layers, making you easily neglect others. This is totally a K-pop rock song, rv nailed it throughout the whole kpop world!

[@MITZEE0972X]

I like this song so much after the second time when I just listen it without the mv. First listen makes me a little confused becoz i cant catch the notes but now I can sing the whole song. 😂 Btw hope that you can react to BoA new song "Forgive me" plz😁

[@ireneserrano4570]

the same! i lved it the 2nd time just the audio

[@taengoonim]

It's a combination of queendom and fmr in my opinion, I enjoyed bsides a lot which is always the case for me, nevertheless, Im proud that RV always serve something new to the table after all these years and I hope they stay unpredictable

[@maryannalynantonio8802]

B-side is so good to 😍

[@videniv8623]

I love the song 😍😍😍

[@gail1015]

Appreciate your honesty and genuine effort to identify the things you liked and not liked. This hit me like NCT 127's Sticker....it took a while to grow. But I love it.

[@pinkapple8862]

Yes I like also the pre chorus by joy

[@s.a.4275]

I love Red Velvet so much. They are my favourite girlgroup however I must agree. I think they grew out of the lovely bubbly concepts. It was okay when they were still rookies but I wish SM would give them some darker and stronger concepts where they can blow away the audience. I mean we know that each member has the potential to do so and they really deserve it. If I was SM I’d give them better songs.

[@NerdyQueen1234]

If SM did that they'd be like any other girl group in K-Pop the thing that makes Red Velvet great is they change it up and they have amazing vocals on top of that.

[@keedababy7872]

I don't think they've grown out of it necessarily... I think it's been a while since we've seen a true Red bubblegum concept. Maybe power up? Umpah Umpah was bubbly but in an adult way. And this is the poppy, weird and edgy if you squint concepts that made them popular in their early years. I.e. Russian roulette, Rookie and Ice Cream Cake.

[@ireneserrano4570]

Red Velvet gets some ofthe most aazing songs, worthy music that one willlisten even after decades, instead of expirable trendy hits

[@matthewkristianlausin1692]

Given that it is a kitsch concept by RV, the comments and first impressions are understandable. But RV made it that way to make it aesthetically weird, that only a few can catch why it is so messy but at the same time beautifully made. Red Velvet will always be a genius and Queens of concept for me in the Kpop Industry. There's just something new and fresh and authentic that you kind of not expect in RV's concept and will still surprise you. Love you always cake girls! 🤍🤍

[@kajalthakur7197]

Thank God you uploaded , I thought you wouldn't upload😁 Red velvet is known as a Concept queens, bcz they never repeat any concepts. I really like this Birthday Song.

[@jvlixn]

I was skeptical at first because I'm a clown but I've this whole mini album on nonstop repeat 🤡

[@Charles.Martin]

I find it surprising that reactors who are very in sync with KPOP are very meh about the song for the most part. Those who do not have much experience with KPOP seem to think its amazing right out of the starting gate. I was not sure what to think about it myself at first. When I was driving home today guess what song I was humming! After hearing it a good number of times I do find I am liking it more. Plus I had to start listening to the MV with my eyes closed as I tended to go deaf everytime I saw Wendy!!!!!

[@omirakoo]

appreciate the genuine reaction :)) I’ve liked this song from the first listen! If your birthday isn’t as exciting as this then is it really a birthday? 💃🏻 + the album is really great too

[@ireneserrano4570]

You need to pump this song up without watching the audio!! The 1st listen gets you confused+even more with the visuals

[@shonsitie8800]

I am waiting for your reaction to their album tracks. The songs are jongmal GOOD!🔥

[@ireneserrano4570]

It really brought me back to the Ice Cream Cake comeback in some sounds mixed with the Peek A Boo weirdness

[@user-hh8ex7sz1g]

This album's besides are gold All four of them are insanely good. You must check their bsides of this album That's the key!!!!! Birthday is not that impressive I agree

[@Bunny-ct9li]

I won’t say I like it tbh. But ig after few more listen I’ll get the hang of it. I was expecting them to do a velvet side kinda song since it’s been long since they did though. btw they released it exactly on my birthday so I cannot hate😂❤️

[@Saguis_ss]

honestly you just succeed to put words on how I was feeling about this song. I feel the exact same as you, I don't think the song is a flop but I needed several listens to figure it out. Btw : love the pre-chorus too💞💞💞

[@yonger8]

The first time listen to the song I feel weird, but now it's stuck in my head :>

[@ireneserrano4570]

The whole album including Birthday is A M A Z I N G

This concept not about "Red" or "Velvet" again, now "To Be Red Velvet" . this is typical RV, you will back to watch again either day, week, month or next year you will back to watch again 🪄

[@lokaforhoya5919]

To be honest. I wasn’t that impressed first listen myself… after second one though it’s definitely on repeat the past few days now along with the rest of the album. Wished there were more songs but I’m very happy to be hearing more music from red velvet again. this album is different even tho some would compare to previous albums but I think it’s not completely same concept as old ones. Either way. Only love love love for red velvet and thanks for sharing your reaction to this new song. I really hope you give it a second chance. Looking forward to your b sides reaction ❤

[@ameyyaaa]

I LOVE BIRTHDAY SOOOO MUCHHH😍😍😍. AND WENDY SHON SEUNGWANIEEEE OUR BEST GIRL💙💙💙💙

[@anna-ci4ji]

You will like the the bsides

[@earthcitty]

I think they tried to split the difference with the MV having a darker tone and the song is bubbly and bright, to try to contrast with Seulgi's solo which was just last month. I think Sm really did not want anyone to compare the RV comeback to the Seulo and instead of giving the girls the darker/mature concepts that fans are used to, instead highlighted the bubbly Red side. I do not think there is a problem with RV having a bright and bubbly concept (bubbly leans towards Joy's aesthetic and styling the most), however, the song is formed in a much more simplistic almost BlackPink-esque way. Where BP pulls these kinds of songs off (usually, I strongly disliked Pink Venom and Shutdown) with strong rap verses to push the hip-hop/kpop fusion BP aims for, RV has average to poor raps usually and the song just cannot make that fusion happen. Especially against Wildside and FMR this song seems simplistic and very bubblegum without a whole lot of depth. I like the song, for the record, and it is one of my favorites on this album (I do not like two songs on this album which is a first for me with RV). Reveluvs and general fans of RV have very high expectations, and this song just does not live up to them, that is okay some comebacks will not hit as hard. It is not as safe as Queendom (my least fav Title Track) but it is very simple compared to the rest of their 2022 comebacks. If I were to have changed anything I would have swung this song more towards the Alt-Rock vibe that we get during the pseudo-bridge (also there is no BRIDGE IN THIS SM SONG ?!?), and pushed towards that vibe more. Introduce more guitar, more of the heavy drum beat, I honestly thing the prechorus is the strongest part, the chorus is the weakest, and the verses are missing something. I also think using Rhapsody in Blue for this was a waste. FMR is the epitome of what a classical sampling should be like and to not live up to that is a real shame. I may just be too much of a Gershwin fan though, because I either wanted them to do much more with or not use it.

I agree with you about the MV. Sometimes i think that why RV's MV doesn't have the same qualities with other SM artists. It's not fair for my queens.

But I hope it'll be like Russian Roulette to you, where you said you wouldn't like it at all even after listening again, but you ended up loving it later :D

[@bdzmru8489]

It seems to be like that for more and more people I think… the song initially is hard to digest with the dissonance

[@stupid_bingbing_sassyrevel222]

Why I stan RV? Cuz always surprised me. I likes Zimzalabim at first listen same with Dumb Dumb so this one ITS a yess for me, the thing Is ppl who know RV for Psychoor Bad Voy aré always expecting Velvet side, and Velvet side Is always on the bsides, anyway I respect everyone opinion but neve expect 2.0 version of any RV song. The álbum Is like always no skip one.
