They released Bday because DH was huge in th US but in Europe it did ok so they rushed to release a new song that will promote the start of her tour so it's a promo single for tour just like Uncle was a Christmas single

that makes sense, but the notion of releasing songs for specific countries isn't a foreign concept though. if she wanted to have a quick single to promote the tour in other countries where DH was a decent-sized hit then that would totally be okay. a US release rn though is just not very smart. DH is dying but it's not for sure dead radio is still spinning it adnauseum.
Uncle should've been released when it was though, it extended Katy's prominence during the holidays long enough for Dark Horse to rise when it should've. plus it was a perfect holiday single imo.
EDIT: Birthday is a campy single
