Confetti is the third studio album by Australian indie rock band Little Birdy, released on 8 May 2009. It debuted at number 6 on the ARIA album charts.
In an interview, Steele describes the inspiration behind the title: "Confetti fell out of my mouth, the word just literally came out of nowhere".
"Brother" is inspired by a lifetime with her brother, Luke and father, Rick. It opens with the couplet "my brother you taught me how to fly, my papa you taught me how to cry".
Australian musician Paul Kelly adds vocals and harmonica to the track, returning the favour for the backing vocals Katy provided on some sessions for him a few years back.
"Summarize" was the second single released from Confetti on 10 April 2009. The single made it to number 54 on the ARIA charts.
"Hairdo" was the third single, released on 28 July 2009. Katy Steele of "HotSource.com.au" described its message as to be "yourself in life [..], in a place where you are comfortable and happy in your own skin". The video for "Hairdo" was filmed in a warehouse at Melbourne's Docklands and was directed by D'Arcy Foley-Dawson.
"Stay Wild" the fourth single from the album, released digitally in October 2009. Initially the song "Confetti" was planned to be a single, but it was switched with "Stay Wild" instead. A music video was produced to promote the single, featuring Katy Steele out there in the country surrounded by the green, surveying her surrounds, perusing Boinga BobâÂÂs iconic Warburton, Victoria home. Joined by the rest of the band (each carrying a different coloured flag), she sets out into the great wild outdoors to breathe in the crisp fresh air.
