Katy Perry 'Birthday' lyric video

Katy Perry is baking up something special for all her Katy Cats... a new Prism single. Last Thursday (April 3), the pop megastar revealed the fourth single from her new album is "Birthday," and one week later she's dropped the official lyric video.

For a song called "Birthday," there's a few logical stops that Perry could've made with the visual route, and of course, she went for the dessert angle. The cleverly edited video features a wide array of sweets in a bakery. Lyrics are displayed in cupcakes, sprinkles, frosting, fondant and ribbon.

It's all very colorful and poppy and happy. Even though Katy Perry teased the end of her Teenage Dream happy self in promotional material leading up to the announcement and release of Prism, this music video is much more blue wig-era Perry and a lot less of the woman she tried to be for "Roar."

That's not to say it doesn't work. The super disco-influenced "Birthday" is sickeningly sweet, so it only fits that a video would be filled with sugar.

Watch the lyric video for Katy Perry's "Birthday" below:

"Birthday" is the fourth official single from Perry's third studio album Prism. It follows the release of "Roar," "Unconditionally" and "Dark Horse" (feat. Juicy J).
