"Birthday Cake" is a song by Barbadian recording artist 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. However, due to a high level of fan interest, the song was included on the album as an interlude.
