Trivia

 * This was revealed in ESRB's rating summary. The following three lines are referenced as suggestive:
 * "Pop your "
 * "So let me get you/In your "
 * "Boy when you're with me/I'll give you a "
 * Birthday is the tenth song by Katy Perry in the series.
 * came out in October, which is the same month as Katy Perry's birthday (October 25). The fact that a song by her is birthday-themed makes it a huge coincidence.
 * Not only this, but the game also came out just days before her birthday (either on October 21 or 23).
 * Unlike other dancers with makeup that is hardly visible in game, this dancer's makeup is clearly visible.
 * This makes her face very visible, which also happened to Break Free, Price Tag, and Take On Me.
 * The coach's skirt sometimes gets in the way.
 * In the Party Master Mode, some pictograms for Jai Ho! (You Are My Destiny) and Boomsday are not synced with the dance moves.
 * The dancer lip syncs "Happy Birthday" every time the line is sung.
 * The Mashup for this song only features other songs by Katy Perry. The dancers for all the songs by Katy Perry, except Roar, are featured in the Mashup.
 * This is the first time a dancer from any non-Solo routine (in this case, a Trio) is used as a Solo dancer (the lead coach from Dark Horse).
 * Also, this is the only Mashup that features at least one coach from every game of the main series.
 * When unlocking the avatar for this song after playing it, the lipstick is absent. However, when one looks at it in the Avatar Shop, the lipstick appears.
 * This also happens with Cool For The Summer’s avatar on seventh generation console versions of, as the collar is purple when unlocking it, while in the avatar shop, the avatar has a golden collar with spikes.
 * The first time Hot N Cold appears in the Mashup, the transition is not smooth like in other Mashups, but rather, it seems very sudden much like the transitions in Maneater’s Mashup.
 * There was a VIP on the World Dance Floor named Aurélie during most of November 2014. Players could dance with her while this song was played on the World Dance Floor. As of January 2016, it is back.
 * In the preview video, the arrows for the pictograms were dark pink, despite the glove being red.
 * This song won in the Favorite Choreo category on the second Awards.
 * In some Beta gameplay snapshots, the coach appears to have a blue glow instead of a solid border like in the final version.
 * In others, the coach's outline is orange instead of blue.
 * This is one of six songs to have a Best Of Mashup, along with 4x4, Maps, I Love It, Never Can Say Goodbye, and Boys (Summertime Love).
 * This is one of the songs selected for the Just Dance 2015 World Cup.
 * The dancer was used as a promotional figure for E3, in spite of the routine being revealed later.
 * Birthday’s Mashup does not have the Gold Moves from Part Of Me on the PS4.
 * Birthday was used by to celebrate National Dessert Day 2015 on Twitter.
 * The Classic routine is affected by a bug: sometimes, a black screen covers everything but the GUI.
 * From June 3, 2016, to June 6, 2016, the song was free on due to Donut Day.
 * The background is recycled in Oishii Oishii.
 * The background was used in a promotion for Ubisoft's new logo.
 * As of an unknown date, the B for "birthday" in the line "Happy birthday" has been capitalized.
 * The routine is used in the June 2018 version of the tutorial screen.
