"Birthday" is more 80's influenced and I don't think it's retro feel had anything to do with why it was released. It's an absolute earworm but I agree with you though that it was a bad choice because it felt redundant for Katy. I think Capitol thought it was at least strong enough to keep
Prism's momentum going while Katy was on tour and wanted to save the stronger singles for when she'd be able to promote.
