Background

"It has definitely stood the test of time and deservedly made the cut. And the addition of Kehlani just took it to the next level and turned into a fire duet. Syd and I were going through a similar thing at the time, trying to work out if it was cool to call your ex to say hi or is it too awkward / mean to do so out of the blue?"

— Guy and Howard Lawrence, "Disclosure team up with Kehlani and The Internet's Syd for new song 'Birthday'", NME[2]
