An anniversary album could look backward. HAPPY BURSTDAY gives you thirteen individual routes forward: after its three group songs, every SEVENTEEN member gets a solo. For someone still learning the lineup, the fifth studio album doubles as a set of introductions, with each name attached to a different track.

Released on May 26, 2025, it arrived exactly ten years after the debut date recorded in SEVENTEEN's official profile. That anniversary explains the birthday connection, but the title changes one word. Weverse Magazine reads the combination of “birthday” and “burst” through the group's theme of renewal. What does that idea look like when one group opens into thirteen separate credits?

The thirteen solos, in published order

The fourth track changes the scale from group to individual. THE 8 begins the solo sequence with Skyfall, and S.COUPS closes the album with Jungle. Between them, the other eleven members each receive a named entry. The official listing supplies the following order:

That is thirteen solo tracks, not thirteen new members or thirteen units. Timbaland appears as a feature on HOSHI's Damage, while the Pharrell Williams production credit belongs to the earlier group song. Keeping the credits with the exact tracks makes the long list easier to read accurately. Official ordered track list

If you have already read the member introductions, this is where those names become useful. You can locate a member directly, then hear the neighboring songs without guessing who is credited. If you're meeting SEVENTEEN through this album, the table works in the other direction: a song you return to can lead you toward its member's official profile and other videos.

Why the full sequence is worth keeping in view

The thirteen-solo format offers plenty of individual entry points, but it also creates a clear album-wide question. What changes when a record moves from the group name to one member's name at a time? You can explore that yourself by playing the first three songs together, then continuing through the solo section in order.

The official

was published on May 16, before the album. Its title identifies it as 8D Audio. A medley provides excerpts; it doesn't replace the full songs or establish that every member track has an individual music video. The track list and the video list answer different questions.

For a first pass, the group-to-solo boundary at tracks three and four is a useful place to notice. On another visit, follow one of the standing teams across the individual credits. The vocal team's members, for example, appear at several different points in the solo sequence rather than occupying one uninterrupted block. You can use the official team map in the beginner guide to make those connections.

The three standard versions

The official listing names NEW ESCAPE, NEW MYSELF and NEW BURSTDAY as the three standard versions. It separately lists a DAREDEVIL version. These are edition labels; the sixteen-track list above is the album's published sequence. Official version information

When you encounter an unboxing, concept image or collection post, identifying the version can explain why its visual presentation differs from another copy. It doesn't tell you that a solo belongs exclusively to the member shown on a package. The member credits in the song titles remain the reliable way to identify the thirteen solo entries.

Follow the group into a smaller lineup

The SEVENTEEN beginner guide connects all thirteen members with their standing teams and official video introductions. For a shorter record that moves between group and team songs, continue to SPILL THE FEELS. Its six-track structure provides a useful comparison with this album's sixteen entries.
