SM Station: NCT Lab - Birthday (Ten)

I. Introduction

"Birthday" is the fourth solo single by Ten, a member of NCT and its sub-unit WayV. It is the fifth single of SM Station NCT Lab and was released on October 26, 2022.

SM Station is a digital music project under SM Entertainment that involves solos or duets from members in existing SM groups, as well as opportunities for singers to experiment in other genres or collaborate with artists inside and outside of SM Entertainment. The project releases a number of singles digitally each year on digital platforms, including streaming audio like Spotify.

SM announced a new project under SM Station to focus around the boy group NCT. NCT Lab will include solo songs, self-composed tracks and sub-unit work outside of the group's albums.

The song was described as a "R&B dance genre song that allows you to fully feel Ten's delicate vocals, and the minimal repetition of marimba sounds and dynamic drops in the bridge section create a dreamy atmosphere. The English lyrics describe days with a lover as a happy birthday is romantically expressed."

The song is in English, like all of Ten's solo songs. He is fluent in five languages.

III. Lyrics

(English)

[Intro]

Oh, no, yeah

[Verse 1]

Baby, dance, dance, dance

Wrap me up with your devotion

It's a bad romance

Got my body rockin' in slow motion

But I can't cope

Walkin' on a tightrope

Hangin' on the tension

Let me down, down, down with you

Let me give you my attention (Oh-oh-oh)

[Pre-Chorus]

Got no self-control

'Cause I want it all

So, I'ma make you feel

Like tonight's your birthday

[Chorus]

Every second, every minute

Make me wanna celebrate it

Everythin' about you perfect

Just the way your mama made it

You're the best, you're my first, first place

Sugar sweet in a million ways

Baby, we don't need no reason

Baby, we don't need to wait

Let's make tonight your birthday

[Verse 2]

I put my hands, hands, hands

When I know you wanna hold them

I wanna be in so deep, baby

Floatin' like we're deep inside an ocean

No, I don't care

As long as I got you there

Baby, let's keep fallin'

I'm talkin' with my hands

Oh, baby, here is my confession

Let's make tonight your birthday

[Chorus]

Every second, every minute

Make me wanna celebrate it (Just wanna celebrate for your love)

Everythin' about you perfect

Just the way your mama made it

You're the best, you're my first, first place

Sugar sweet in a million ways

Baby, we don't need no reason

Baby, we don't need to wait

Let's make tonight your birthday

[Bridge]

I've been blinded by you

Baby, you got full attention, yeah

So, let us take it slow

I never say this, but girl

You deserve it best

So, let it go

Do all you want for tonight, ooh-oh, yeah

[Breakdown]

Like tonight's your birthday

Ooh-oh

Like tonight's your birthday

[Chorus]

Every second, every minute

Make me wanna celebrate it (Celebrate it, celebrate it, baby)

Everythin' about you perfect (Hey)

Just the way your mama made it (Ooh-ooh, ooh)

You're the best, you're my first, first place (First place, first place)

Sugar sweet in a million ways (Save me)

Baby, we don't need no reason

Baby, we don't need to wait

Let's make tonight your birthday

[Outro]

Baby, we don't need no reason

Baby, we don't need to wait

Let's make tonight your birthday
