"Birthday Cake" is a song by Barbadian singer Rihanna, from her sixth studio album, Talk That Talk (2011). After it leaked onto the Internet, fans expressed interest in the track being included on Talk That Talk, but it was later revealed that the 1:18 (one minute, 18 seconds) length that leaked was in fact the final cut and was not being considered for inclusion on the album. Due to a high level of fan interest, the song was included on the album as an interlude. The full length version, also known as the official remix of the track, featuring Rihanna's ex-boyfriend Chris Brown, premiered online on February 20, 2012, to coincide with Rihanna's 24th birthday. The song peaked in the top thirty on the Billboard Hot 100.The lyrics to "Birthday Cake" express the desire to have spontaneous sex. Music critics were divided on "Birthday Cake", with the majority both praising and criticising the song's sexual lyrical content. Several critics compared the song to the previous track on the album "Cockiness (Love It)", which also consists of sexually explicit lyrics. Upon the release of Talk That Talk, the song debuted on the lower regions of the singles charts in South Korea, the United Kingdom, and the United States.

The hottest lines on the album come nearly as an afterthought on the all-too-brief 'Birthday Cake,' produced by The-Dream. 'I know you wanna bite this/ It's so enticin'/ Nothin' else like this/ I'mma make you my bitch,' she sings. But as if the network censors had let the song run before realizing their mistake, a little over a minute into it the music fades out, just as it's getting dirty, leaving us wondering whether Rihanna really believes what she's selling on "Talk That Talk."[13]

Upon the release of Talk That Talk, "Birthday Cake" debuted on several world charts. The song entered the South Korea Gaon International Chart at number 67 on November 26, 2011, with sales of 6,661 digital downloads.[19] In the United Kingdom, "Birthday Cake" debuted at number 172 on December 3, 2011.[20] In the United States, the song charted at number 22 on the US Bubbling Under Hot 100 Singles chart, which represents the 25 songs which failed to chart on the Billboard Hot 100.[21] On March 3, 2012, "Birthday Cake" made its first appearance on the US Digital Songs chart at number 62, following the release of the official remix featuring Brown,[22] and has peaked at number 30.[23] Due to strong airplay spins, the interlude of "Birthday Cake" peaked at number 4 on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart.[24] "Birthday Cake" was certified two-times platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), denoting shipments of over 2,000,000 units.[25]

Rihanna performed the song for the first time on May 5, 2012, on Saturday Night Live, as part of a medley with "Talk That Talk".[26] The performance started with the original interlude version "Birthday Cake" and featured Rihanna in an all black outfit with a giant spiders web as the backdrop behind her.[26] After she performed a short section of the song, it transitioned into "Talk That Talk", where she performed her part of the song in full, without the rap vocal by Jay-Z.[26] The remix of the song was included on her Diamonds World Tour as part of her first act in 2013. She performed it on the Anti World Tour with a different beat in 2016 with included Rihanna rap in the song.

"Birthday Cake" was remixed with vocals from American singer Chris Brown, and is a full length version of the interlude which was originally included on Talk That Talk. It was sent to radio as the fourth US single from the album on March 6, 2012.[29] At first, it was rumored that Christina Aguilera would feature on the remix version after Rihanna posted a message on Twitter saying that she wanted someone "Dirrrty" on the re-recording, a supposed reference to Aguilera's 2002 song "Dirrty". However, the singer later tweeted that she wanted a male vocalist, not a female vocalist, to accompany her on the remix via Twitter with a tweet reading 'No girls allowed on #CAKE'. It was later revealed that Brown was the featured artist on the full length version. Despite receiving negative attention regarding Rihanna's choice of collaborator from the media and fans alike, the singer defended her decision saying that it is simply music.

The remix of "Birthday Cake"'s lyrics are similar to the interlude, but with new lyrics provided by Brown. The collaboration was met with a mixed response from music critics, many of whom were shocked at the fact that Rihanna and Brown had collaborated on a song together despite their relationship history, but cited the remix as an improvement upon the original interlude. The remix peaked at number 24 on the US Billboard Hot 100 chart, and number two on the R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart. American rappers Fabolous, Rick Ross and Busta Rhymes appeared on additional remixes of the song.

On February 16, 2012, it was speculated that former boyfriend Chris Brown was the featured artist on the full length version.[34] Reports surfaced after the pair were photographed leaving Westlake Recording Studios in Los Angeles at separate times and Brown being invited to Rihanna's birthday party.[34] Rumors were also fueled when Rihanna and Brown spent time together at the 2012 Grammy Awards on February 8, 2012.[34] The reports gained worldwide media controversy, because Brown and Rihanna were involved in a physical altercation on the evening of the 2009 Grammy Awards.[34] The full length version, eventually revealed to feature Brown, was released on Rihanna's birthday, February 20, 2012.[35] In an interview with Billboard, The-Dream stated that he believed Rihanna and Brown's past together should not be judged and that "Birthday Cake" is simply a song, saying, "For me, it's just music - two talented people doing a record together, doing two records together, and that's what it was. It wasn't about an incident that happened. The true thing really is to forgive, and you want to believe in people."[36] "Birthday Cake" impacted US Urban contemporary radio on March 6, 2012, serving as the fourth U.S. single from Talk That Talk.[29]

Jon Caramanica for The New York Times commented that the remix of "Birthday Cake", as well as the original, was "very much so" a good song. However, Caramanica was critical of the collaboration itself, due to Rihanna and Brown's history, writing "You want to forget? Fine. But don't forgive." Caramanica continued to explain his distaste, writing "It displays an advanced understanding of marketing and an understanding of moral obligations and ethics that's not much more than rudimentary. It is a woman publicly accepting her abuser - nothing more, nothing less."[40] J. Bryan Lowder for The Huffington Post labelled the song as "innuendo-iced" with regard to the song's explicit lyrics. Lowder provided an explanation for what he thought the reason was behind Rihanna asking Brown to collaborate on "Birthday Cake", writing:

Rihanna performed "Birthday Cake" Remix at Radio 1's Hackney Weekend on May 24, 2012, as the fifth song on the set list.[44] She performed the remix in its entirety, and sang Brown's lyrics.[44] The song was later included on her Diamonds World Tour in 2013 during the first act.

The remix version of "Birthday Cake" debuted at number 20 on the US Billboard R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart on chart issue dated March 10, 2012, and received both the Airplay and Greatest Gainer honors.[45] The following week, it ascended to number 17.[46] In its third week on the chart, the song ascended to number seven, and received the Airplay Gainer honor.[47] The song ascended to number four the following week, and was awarded with the Airplay Gainer honor again.[48] It has so far reached a peak of number two.[49] It debuted at number 63 on the US Billboard Hot 100 on the chart issue dated March 10, 2012.[50] In its fourth week on the chart, the song climbed to number 39 and became the fourth top forty single from Talk That Talk.[51] "Birthday Cake (Remix)" has reached a peaked of number 24.[52] The remix of "Birthday Cake" debuted at number 73 on the Radio Songs chart, generating a 372% increase in spins, on the chart issue dated March 10, 2012.[53][54] It reached a peak of number 16.[55]
