[DROP] HAPPY BIRTHDAY! [Verse 1] Woke up this morning like she owns the place Birthday grin already stuck on her face Five little fingers thrown up in the sky Everybody better move when the birthday girl arrives Balloons in the lounge, presents on the floor She’s checked every bag about seventeen times before Dad says, “Wait!” She says, “Why?” Fair question— IT’S MY BIRTHDAY, GUY! [Pre-Chorus] Candles ready Music loud Tiny superstar Biggest crowd One more year Another stage ALANA JUST UNLOCKED THE NEXT AGE! [Chorus] LEVEL FIVE! ALANA’S ALIVE! Hands in the air, let the whole house vibe LEVEL FIVE! TURN IT UP TONIGHT! Birthday girl shining like a disco light Cake on her face Shoes nowhere found Five years old and she runs this town Everybody jump when I count to five— ONE! TWO! THREE! FOUR! [KIDS] FIVE! [DROP] ALANA’S LEVEL FIVE! [Verse 2] She got birthday power, apparently that’s law Every answer today is— “BECAUSE I’M FIVE, DA!” Wants another lolly? Five. Wants another slice? Five. Why’s there icing on the dog? … DON’T ASK WHY. 😂 Dancing in the kitchen, spinning round the chairs Half the decorations somehow ended in her hair Laughing so hard that the whole room shakes Best kind of chaos Best kind of day [Pre-Chorus] No homework No rules— Okay, SOME rules. Birthday kid Too damn cool Turn the speakers up Make some space EVERYBODY MOVE — HERE COMES GRACIE— Wait. Wrong kid. ALANA! [beat stops] Dad’s got a lot of kids, alright? [DROP] [Chorus] LEVEL FIVE!

Birthday girl shining like a disco light Cake on her face Shoes nowhere found Five years old and she runs this town Everybody jump when I count to five— ONE! TWO! THREE! FOUR! FIVE! [Bridge – music suddenly warm / Dad vocal] Five years. That went bloody quick. Feels like yesterday you were tiny enough to fit right here. Now you’ve got opinions. Lots of opinions. Very loud opinions. [pause] Wouldn’t change a thing. So today— Be silly. Be loud. Eat the cake. Open everything. Make a mess. You only turn five once. And Dad’ll clean it tomorrow. … Probably. [Build – children chanting] A-L-A-N-A! A-L-A-N-A! WHOSE DAY? ALANA’S DAY! HOW OLD? FIVE TODAY! WHOSE HOUSE? ALANA’S HOUSE! Dad: Oi— Kids: TOO LATE! [HUGE DROP] [Final Chorus] LEVEL FIVE! ALANA’S ARRIVED! Whole room jumping and the candles ignite LEVEL FIVE! THIS IS YOUR NIGHT! Laugh till your belly hurts, everything’s alright Five little years Whole world ahead Big bright dreams in that little head Whatever you become Wherever you fly You’ll always be Dad’s girl— LEVEL FIVE! [KIDS] FIVE! FIVE! FIVE! FIVE! [Outro – acoustic guitar + party noise] Happy birthday, Alana. Five years old. Jesus Christ. Dad needs a minute. [small voice] “Can I have more cake?” … Yeah.
