Following her success from her EP entitled "Change" in 2018, Naviyah released her single "Birthday Drink" in October 2020, this track has more of a commercial sound, expertly mixing rap/hip-hop with a pop sensibility together with her positive lyrics to encourage young people to drink alcohol in moderation and to always be in full control and aware of their surroundings at all times.
