American singer and actress, Selena Gomez, turned 21 on July 22. MTV News stated that Gomez made a video in a warehouse decorated with graffiti with her group of friends to celebrate her day.

Gomez tossed her hair around and urged her fans to "tell 'em that it's her birthday when I party like that," and to "blow your dreams away with me." The song Birthday was Gomez's second single in her album called Stars Dance.
