Elle Varner and 50 Cent Want Every Day to Feel Like Your ‘Birthday’ on New Song
Who wouldn't want to celebrate their birthday every day? Singer Elle Varner wants to celebrate 365 days a year on her intoxicating new single "Birthday" with G-Unit's general 50 Cent.
Elle Varner debuted the song exclusively with Billboard and explained the premise of her birthday treat. "Imagine if your lover treated you like everyday was your birthday! We captured that fun and sexy vibe on this record," she said. "You can certainly add this one to your go-to collection of 'Birthday' classics."
"Yesterday was your birthday so I had to put it down in the worst way / Aye, put the cake on your plate and then I let you eat the, eat the whole damn thing," Elle coos on the track, which will appear on her sophomore album, 4 Letter Word.
50 Cent is in rare form and delivers two great verses to complement the singer's sultry vocals. He also adds his own flare to the addictive hook by reusing some of his ad-libs from his 2003 banger "In Da Club." "50 shades of 50, yeah we freaky when you ain't / Lights off she get erotic with glow in the dark paint / I'm like give it to me baby if you know how I like it boy / ODB baby I like it raw," he rhymes.
Varner previously previewed the track at SXSW and even performed alongside 50 at the Power season two premiere this week.
After a solid debut with Perfectly Imperfect, we can't wait to see what Elle has in store this time around for her newest project.
