Earth, Wind & Fire’s “September” is expecting a boost in views on YouTube Friday — the 21st night of September. In fact, this time last year the video saw a 286% increase with 797k views in one day, according to the streaming service. 

Although the track is turning 40 this year, the music video has a total of 225 million views on YouTube. 

Even the band is getting ready for the special day, tweeting, “Only a few more days now…” on Tuesday. 

Taylor Swift sparked renewed interest in “September” earlier this year when she recorded the single in Nashville as part of the Spotify Singles series, giving it a slowed-down, country vibe. 

“September” was originally released in 1978 and reached No. 8 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.
