Birthday blues—that melancholic haze that settles upon countless souls as another year comes full circle.
Amidst the well-wishes and celebratory fanfare, there’s an undercurrent of introspection, a reckoning with one’s hopes and fears, and the ever-elusive pursuit of having it all “figured out.”
Alice Pisano’s new single, Birthday, resonates with this sentiment, striking a chord that reverberates through the collective psyche of those grappling with the weight of their dreams and the reality of their lived experiences.
Her delicate vocals, interwoven with the gentle caress of acoustic instrumentation, create an intimate sonic tapestry that envelops the listener in a shared vulnerability.
The lyrics, penned with a raw authenticity akin to a diary entry, confront the paradoxes that define the human condition head-on. “
Today’s my birthday, I don’t feel any wiser, I keep making bad choices, and the stakes getting higher,” Pisano confesses, her words a mirror reflecting the insecurities and self-doubts that plague us all, regardless of age or circumstance.
Yet, amidst the introspective musings, there is a glimmer of hope, a yearning for self-actualization that resonates deeply.
The chorus, a poignant refrain, encapsulates this sentiment: “I thought by now I’d have this figured out, but I’m learning everything the hard way.”
Alice Pisano’s delivery is raw and unfiltered, her voice quivering with the weight of emotional truth, a sentiment that hundreds, if not thousands, can relate to on their own birthday meltdowns.
As the song progresses, Alice Pisano delves deeper into the complexities that define the human experience, grappling with the dichotomy of hope and sorrow, the fear of time’s relentless march, and the ever-present desire for love and companionship, even when it leads to heartache: “I’m emotional and I cry and keep falling for the wrong guys.”
On the track Alice says: “This song is a little piece of my heart. I wrote it as an ironic internal monologue, 3 years ago before my birthday. I then finished it with Jez and started playing it live. People always found it so moving and relatable that I had to release it!“
For anyone who has ever felt the weight of their own birthday blues, Birthday by Alice Pisano is a poignant invitation to embrace vulnerability, confront insecurities, and find solace in the shared human experience.

Alice Pisano Birthday Lyrics
Verse 1
Today’s my birthday
I don’t feel any wiser
I keep making bad choices
And the stakes getting higher
It’s the best and the worst day
I don’t feel any smarter
I still message my exes
And keep the love letters
And I hate to apologise
Chorus
I thought by now I’d have this figured out
But I’m learning everything the hard way
I’m emotional and I cry and keep falling for the wrong guys
Make a wish and close my eyes
Verse 2
Today’s my birthday
When I think of tomorrow
Got a heart full of hope
And a head full of sorrow
Today’s my birthday
Why does it scare me?
I’m just a year older
It’s not like I’vе run out of time
Chorus
I thought by now I’d have this figured out
But I’m lеarning everything the hard way
I’m emotional and I cry and keep falling for the wrong guys
Make a wish and close my eyes
Bridge
Uuuh
Uuhh
Chorus
I thought by now I’d have this figured out
But I’m learning everything the hard way
I’m emotional and I cry and keep falling for the wrong guys
Make a wish and close my eyes
