"Like It's Her Birthday" is a song by American pop punk band Good Charlotte from their fifth studio album, Cardiology (2010). It was released as the album's first single on August 24, 2010.

Written by the band brothers Benji and Joel Madden, with additional writing and full production of Don Gilmore, the song is a pop punk song that talks about having fun with a girlfriend who likes to celebrate every day like it was her birthday.

The song received positive reviews from music critics, who praised it for its catchiness, funny lyrics and danceable content. It was a big success on the ARIA Charts, reaching the top ten.

The band premiered the song live for the first time on May 22 at the 2010 Bamboozle Road Show in Charlotte, North Carolina.

A version featuring Tonight Alive was also released, though they do not appear in the video version.

The music video was released on September 21, 2010 on YouTube. It alternates between shots of the band performing in a dark room and scenes in a club.

Guitarist Benji Madden wrote on the band's website that Good Charlotte released the song to show appreciation of their patient fan base: "We always put a song on every record that's there just for fun and this is that song." He also explained to Alternative Press that it "has a good mix of the old-school sound from our self-titled record from 2000, and the sound we explored on Good Morning Revival in 2007.: Guitarist Billy Martin discussed his contribution to the song during an interview with Unrescuable Schizo: "I got to do a guitar solo in it. I've been pushing to do some guitar solos for years. I got to do a really cool one on that song so that was definitely a highlight for me. It's a fairly pop song for us. It's still rock, it's very guitar-heavy but it's sort of a real pop melody. By putting a big rock guitar solo in the middle of the song, it gives it a nice edge. I like that fine line between being a rock band and writing pop songs."
