Jeremih, Birthday Sex | Midnight Heat

In the 71^st edition of Midnight Heat (2023), we explore the naughty, sexy vibes behind “Birthday Sex” by Jeremih. 

“It’s yo birthday so I know you want to ri-i-ide out…” Ah, bring on Midnight Heat ! Wait – it is not usually hot at midnight! Well, it is steaming hot at midnight when it comes to this naughty, innuendo and sex-laden column featuring songs intended for nighttime. Yeah, we are talking about that after dark, bedroom boom $hi†, ya dig? These unapologetic records often raises both eyebrows and temperature alike. Woo! In the 71^st edition of Midnight Heat (2023), we explore the naughty, sexy vibes behind, “Birthday Sex” by Jeremih.

“You say you want passion / I think you found it / Get ready for action / Don’t be astounded.” Passion? Action? Yup, sounds S-E-X-U-A-L . R&B artist Jeremih continues singing, “We switching positions / You feel surrounded / Just tell me where you want / Your gift, girl.” Switching positions is definitely sexual. Another key highlight from those lyrics is gift .  That is because this 2009 highlight from his self-titled album is called “Birthday Sex”, and the gift he is giving is, bomb sex. See the chorus:

“Don’t need candles or cake, just need yo body to make, ooh

Birthday sex 

Birthday sex.” 

Ooh-wee! Jeremih peaked () at no. 4 on the Billboard Hot 100 with “Birthday Sex,” one of four top-10 hits. A multiplatinum single, “Birthday Sex” propelled Jeremih to platinum certification itself. A prime example of where sex sells, this is an infectious, sensual joint.  Everyone (or almost everyone) enjoys sex, so, a song about sex on a special day is freaking fantastic ! “We grindin’ with passion ‘cause it’s yo birthday” says it all! Also, if we’re being technical, it’s an inexpensive gift ‍… Sure, “Say you wanted flowers on the bed / But you got me and hours on the bed.” A more fun experience, right? All told, “Birthday Sex”, a contemporary, freaky birthday song for the ages, speaks for itself. Jeremih, Mick Schultz (who produces), and Keith James wrote a good one .
