We have some external links to correct.

Infobox

The track wasn't released as a single, and can't have a separate release date from Stars Dance.
I don't think it's necessary to note that the YouTube link points to her channel.

Introduction

"Recorded by American recording artist" – Remove the first 'recorded'.
"Produced by by" – Remove one of the 'by's.

Background and recording

No issues.

Composition

I'd mention that "Hollaback Girl" is also a Stefani song, some people might not know that.
Wikilink to Icona Pop's "I Love It".

Critical reception and music video

Split into two separate sections.
"Upon release" – "Upon its release"
Un-capitalize the 'd' in 'dirty'.
"The songs lyrics... the songs panting" – "The song's lyrics, the song's panting"
"Intersped" – "Interspersed"

Charts

I couldn't find "Birthday" in the South Korean chart, could you please link to the specific week?

Track listing

No issues.

References

Only printed references are supposed to be italicized.

Just those minor tweaks and we'll be good to go! WikiRedactor (talk) 20:05, 1 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
