Musicians react & analyze ♡ SEVENTEEN - HBD

The Best Happy Birthday Song Ever on Earth! SEVENTEEN’s Happy Burstday album kicks off with the opening track ‘HBD’, and wow—what a genre blender! The mood itself is a mix too: dark, yet light and fast-paced. The way they weaved those “Happy Birthday” lines into a 4/4 beat? So clever. And of course, SEVENTEEN’s signature vocals and harmonies are absolutely top tier. We really hope there’ll be bonus clips for this album too, but for now, let’s ride the wave and keep going! Like we say in the video, if you wish to have fun with our SEVENTEEN Marathon with other SVT contents like 'Game Caterers' and 'Going Seventeen', hop on and join the party at http://patreon.com/handsomesausages !! :D Kpop producer and singer-songwriter react to SEVENTEEN's HBD (Lyrics Video).

Ooooooooh, a morning Burstday Serenade from the Handsomes! Thank you!!! I feel so special! 💎🩵🩷🩵🩷💎

ahhhh my ONE request is you listen to both the uncensored and censored versions of bad influence because it is a massive difference to the flow of the track, we were all anticipating the release and then were majorly disappointed when they censored it 😭

ddaddu

Love the analyzation, the live stage goes soo hard hoping you guys can react to it, as well as the entire 10TH ANNIVERSARY B-DAY PARTY : BURST Stage @잠수교

What I love about HBD is that it was recently said that SCOUPS kept nagging Bumzu that the song could sound better to the point Bumzu went RAGHHHHHH!!!!! in the studio

I think you got it a bit wrong... Coups thinks HBD was not for a title track and he was asking for a better song than this. I love this song a lot, maybe I even will listen to this more frequent than Thuder, but I understand why he thinks this is not THAT title track.

Tatia

Yes to this, please! The uncensored version came out back in January for the Louis Vuitton fashion show. It does not have all the members tho, probably due to contractual obligations.

Tatia

I absolutely love the ending with Hoshi and Coups. This track exceeded all my expectations! ❤️

BRRR LIKE IT!😎 Don't you just really like it when we get a track like this that can be used on a particular special occasion?

I agree, the audio is taken directly from the Men’s Fall-Winter 2025 Louis Vuitton show and the mix is a little different. I was disappointed on how they handled the censoring in the album by just leaving dead air where the swears were.

This album is like a combination of every single one of my music tastes, from my childhood until now and HBD encapsulates so much of my love from experimental songs. They really outdid themselves with HAPPY BURSTDAY. Also, I just wanted to let you guys know about two channels that CARATs recommend a lot for lyrics as they're SVT exclusive translations: seventeenlyrics (https://www.youtube.com/@seventeenlyrics), and SVT Studio (https://www.youtube.com/@SVTstudio.lyrics). seventeenlyrics has been closed but they said they would keep the channel for the fandom; they started to translate from "FIRST LOVE&LETTER" (2016) Album up until "SEVENTEENTH HEAVEN" (2023) Album. SVT Studio has been translating since "17 IS RIGHT HERE" (2024) Album and just now finished uploading HAPPY BURSTDAY. The fandom loves this channels so I hope this is helpful for you and can't wait for the rest of the album as well as more content form SVT!!

oh yess!! i knew i was missing another one. thank you<3

Quwarichi

maybe i did, the translations were conflicted

I wasn't sure I would like this one from the highlight medley but I ended up loving it. They performed it in their Jamsu Bridge mini concert and the energy live makes it even better ! i'm so excited for you guys to check out the rest of the album because the solos are so interesting to go through. They're so varied and distinct but somehow form a cohesive picture together, just like Seventeen is formed of very distinct personalities but they all fit together into a sum greater than their parts.

Rowan

@Quwarichi you were correct!

Laini

My fave solos were defs wonu, dk, woozi, and vernon! The vernon one actually really took me by surprise!

konekochan

I am jamming to this on my birthdays 🤩🤩 I absolutely fell in love with this bside when I heard it in their burstday stage, it's sooo good! The rest of the album is whiplash after whiplash, can't wait when you get to them 🩷 Going through the album in order is perfect,since the arrangement is intentional for the best listening experience. And having HBD start off this masterpiece fits so well! thank you for your analysis and reaction!

Skye

can't wait for you guys to get to their solos one by one cuz every solo in this album has been immaculate for me!! I have the whole album on repeat all day

zoey ro

i think this song is so catchy and i love the live performance even more!! when you guys react to bad influence, i recommend listening to the og track after the officially released one. the one on the album is censored, but bad influence was originally released in january for an LV show. that version is uncensored and there are some slight differences in the song. there are some lyric videos on youtube if you want to listen to it. i prefer the og version by far!

Tal

The live perf was really good.

T. A

Wanted to let you know the 'Bad Influence' with Pharrell has an uncensored version, it would be good to check the out as well when you listen to the one on the album alongside :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zNmeH1JEfTc

marranje

my only complaint about this song is that it's so short! i love the rock sound with a splash of everything else! i liked what you said about there being elements from other genres but not in the way you might expect. it made those familiar elements feel very really new and interesting!
