"Party in the U.S.A."
Song

"Party in the U.S.A." is pop song performed by American recording artist Miley Cyrus. The song was written by Dr. Luke, Claude Kelly, and Jessica Cornish and produced by Dr. Luke. It was released on August 11, 2009, by Hollywood Records, as the lead single from Cyrus' first extended play The Time of Our Lives. The song was not originally written for Cyrus, though once it reached her, the songwriters adjusted the lyrics to fit Cyrus' persona. Not completely identifying with "Party in the U.S.A.", she chose it for The Time of Our Lives partially due to a need for tracks. The song's music merges elements found within R&B and pop music while lyrics reflect her relocating from Nashville to Hollywood.

"Party in the U.S.A." was a critical and commercial success, reaching the top ten of charts in eight countries. In the United States, the song peaked at number two on the Billboard Hot 100, becoming Cyrus' best-charting single to date and sixth best selling digital single of 2009. It was also deemed Hollywood Records' fastest and best-selling single to date. The single was certified triple platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) and quadruple platinum by the Canadian Recording Industry Association (CRIA).

The music video for "Party in the U.S.A.", directed by Chris Applebaum, pays tribute to Grease (1978) and Cyrus' parents' courting days. It occurs mainly at a drive-in theater and won the MuchMusic Video Award for Best International Artist Video at the 2010 award show. The song was performed live for Cyrus' first world tour, the 2009 Wonder World Tour. At the 2009 Teen Choice Awards, Cyrus' use of pole, which some interpreted to be a dance pole, caused a media uproar. "Party in the U.S.A." has been covered by various artists.

Background

"Party in the U.S.A." was written by Dr. Luke, Claude Kelly, and Jessica Cornish. The song was originally intended for Cornish to perform,[1] but, once it reached Cyrus, the writing team reworked the lyrics,[2] intending to write an accompanying theme for Cyrus' joint clothing line with Max Azria, exclusively sold in Wal-Mart stores.[3] In order to please audiences, Dr. Luke, Kelly, and Cornish fixated on composing a fun, upbeat song that narrated reflections of Cyrus' personality. "They feel they're buying into a great experience but also buying into the artist", Kelly said of the song's fans.[4] To write his contributions to the song, Kelly said he desired to mimic Cyrus' songwriting: "It’s the same song from a different point of view, you just have to find that unique perspective."[4] To record the song's instrumentation, they decided to mingle computerized sound with "the warmth of live instrumentation", using live electric guitars and drums.[4] Cyrus was pleased with the song and selected it partially due to a need of tracks for The Time of Our Lives.[5] Cyrus has stated "Party in the U.S.A." is not a reflection of her musically, as she preferred songs with more of an edge.[3] She said the track was "an all-American song."[6] Cyrus claimed she had never heard a Jay-Z song in November 2009, an artist which the lyrics refer to.[5] However, she does enjoy Britney Spears' music, also mentioned in the song.[7] The song was chosen as the lead single from The Time of Our Lives, as Cyrus thought personnel were "picking up on it", although she did not expect for the song be commercially successful.[3] The song was first played on radio stations on July 29, 2009, because of an illegal leak on the Internet.[8] "Party in the U.S.A." was officially released for airplay on August 3, 2009,[8] and as a digital download on August 11, 2009.[9]

"Party in the U.S.A." is a dance-pop song with a length of three minutes and twenty-two seconds.[10] The song arranges R&B and pop music elements[11] and, according to Michael Menachem of Billboard, contains small influences from reggae.[12] The song is set in common time and has a moderate tempo of 96 beats per minute. It is written in the key of F major and Cyrus' vocals span two octaves, from F3 to D5.[13] Cyrus' vocals display an undertone of twang[14] and features belter refrains.[15] It follows the chord progression F–Am–Dm–C.[13] The song's instrumentation includes a "clash between feathery jazz guitar chords and a booming synth bassline serving as hook".[16]

The lyrics for "Party in the U.S.A." are written in first person, about Cyrus' relocation from Nashville, Tennessee to Hollywood, California.[15] In the verses, she details occurrences, like peers questioning her attire,[15] in Hollywood that cause for her to feel homesick and intimidated.[17] Towards the conclusion of each verse, the protagonist listens to her favorite Jay-Z and Britney Spears song, respectively,[14] which leads to the refrains describing how her favorite songs make her feel more confident.[15] Vicki Lutas of BBC interpreted, "However cringe it sounds, your favourite song can make you feel okay and feel more confident, even if you're not really."[15]

Critical reception

Cyrus performing "Party in the U.S.A." during her first world tour, the Wonder World Tour.

"Party in the U.S.A." garnered positive critical reception. Michael Hann of the United Kingdom magazine The Guardian said "Party in the U.S.A." was a cute pop song.[16] Later, while reviewing the Wonder World Tour, he elaborated that the song was a reminder "that manufactured pop need not be a bad thing – if the manufacturing is good enough".[18] Jaime Gill of Yahoo! Music said, "Fortunately for Cyrus, [the other songs from The Time of Our Lives] flee your brain cells within seconds of their final chords, which means you're more likely to remember the breezily brilliant hit 'Party in the U.S.A.'"[19] Mikael Wood of New York City's Time Out magazine described the song as a "killer tune [...] which proves that Miley makes for a much better rapper than you might expect".[20] Bill Lamb of About.com gave "Party in the U.S.A." four out of five stars for Cyrus' vocals, engaging lyrics, and reflective pace change, but recognized it was slight in depth. He predicted it would broaden her "fan base as she slowly becomes an adult pop singer".[14] Heather Phares of Allmusic selected the track as one of the EP's best, describing it as a frothy party anthem suitable for Cyrus' alias, Hannah Montana.[21]

Erik Ensrst of The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel said the song was "ridiculously catchy".[22] Mikael Wood of Entertainment Weekly decided that "Party in the U.S.A." was Cyrus' bouncy attempt at Urban music, since she had previously transitioned into other markets.[23] Jessica Holland of The Observer deemed "Party in the U.S.A." one of the highlights on The Time of Our Lives.[17] Michael Menachem of Billboard stated the song was one of Cyrus' most entertaining songs yet. Menachem continued, "[Dr. Luke] injects the song with an energy recalling Robyn and early Gwen Stefani. After successfully tackling dance and country formats and delivering one of the year's strongest ballads ('The Climb'), Cyrus continues to show off her impressive range."[12] Ryan Brockington of The New York Post said that although the track was more mainstream than Cyrus' prior singles, he did not hate it.[24] Vicki Lutas of BCC described "Party in the U.S.A." as "a breath of fresh air" while being "seriously stomping" and slightly relatable. She said the song's best attribute was Cyrus' voice and concluded that Cyrus contains an ability of making her voice sound interesting all the time. Upon listening to the track, Lutas feels that "suddenly you think someone else is in the room with you and you've got all the ingredients for, well, a huge party contained in one little song."[15]

Chart performance

"Party in the U.S.A." debuted and peaked at number two on the Billboard 200 on the week ending August 29, 2009, due to the sale of over 226,000 digital downloads,[25] thus becoming the fastest-selling single released by Hollywood Records.[26] It became Cyrus' best-charting effort on the chart to date, surpassing her prior best-charting effort "The Climb", which peaked at number four in May 2009.[25] The week's appearance also marked the highest debut by a female solo artist since Carrie Underwood's "Inside Your Heaven", which debuted at number one in July 2005.[26] In the succeeding weeks, "Party in the U.S.A." continued to sell and chart on the Billboard Hot 100 strongly, spending sixteen consecutive weeks in the top ten[27] and twenty-eight weeks in total.[28] It also peaked at number one on Mainstream Top 40 (Pop Songs) and number thirteen on Adult Pop Songs.[27] According to Billboard, "Party in the U.S.A." was the sixth best selling digital single of 2009.[29] The single was certified triple platinum by Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) for shipments exceeding three million copies and became Hollywood Records' best-selling single to date.[30] "Party in the U.S.A." peaked at number three on the Canadian Hot 100 on the week ending October 31, 2009.[27] The single was certified quadruple platinum by the Canadian Recording Industry Association (CRIA) for the sales of 160,000 digital downloads.[31]

The song also became successful in Australia, New Zealand, and Japan. On the week ending September 13, 2009, "Party in the U.S.A." debuted at number fourteen on the Australian Singles Chart. The following week, the song ascended to a new peak at number nine and peaked at number six on the week ending November 8, 2009.[32] The single was certified platinum by the Australian Recording Industry Association (ARIA) for the sale of over 70,000 copies.[33] "Party in the U.S.A." debuted at number eleven on the New Zealand Singles Chart and peaked at number three on the week ending November 9, 2009.[34] The single was certified platinum by the Recording Industry Association of New Zealand (RIANZ) for the shipment of 15,000 copies.[35] On the week ending January 9, 2010, "Party in the U.S.A." debuted at number forty-nine on the Japan Hot 100 Chart[36] and, in the succeeding week, reached its peak at number four.[27]

In the United Kingdom, "Party in the U.S.A." entered and peaked at number eleven.[37] The song tied with "See You Again" and "The Climb", which charted in August 2008 and March 2009, respectively, for Cyrus' best-charting effort in the United Kingdom.[38] In Ireland, the song peaked at number five.[39] In mainland Europe, "Party in the U.S.A." peaked at number seventeen on the Eurochart Hot 100 Singles Chart,[27] number six on both the French Singles Chart[40] and Hungarian Singles Chart,[41] and peaked at number twelve on Norwegian Singles Chart.[42] It received lower commercial success throughout other regions of Europe, becoming a top forty hit in Austria, Belgium (Wallonia and Flanders), Czech Republic, Denmark, Spain, and Sweden.[42]

Music video

The scene from Grease where Travolta sings "Sandy" (top) triggered the conception for the music video for "Party in the U.S.A." (bottom).

Cyrus contacted Chris Applebaum to direct the accompanying music video for "Party in the U.S.A.", with ideologies for the video already conceived. Her ideas for the video's theme were about "high-gloss, glamorous white trash."[43] She told Applebaum she desired to pay tribute to one of her favorite films, Grease (1978), and her parents' courting days.[43] Video conception sprang forward with the idea to resemble the scene in Grease where John Travolta sings "Sandy": in the scene, Travolta exits from a car and walks over to a jungle gym, where he sits on a swing and performs the song as projections are displayed in the background.[43] To render homage to her parents' courting days, Cyrus and Applebaum named a drive-in theater in the video Corral Drive-In after a drive-in in Kentucky where Cyrus' parents had a date. "In addition, Miley's mom Tish used to drive '79 black Pontiac Trans Am, Smokey and the Bandit (1977) style, and obviously that's the car that Miley arrives in", Applebaum said.[43]

The video commences by showing a drive-in theater in the day. Cyrus later arrives in the black 1979 Pontiac Trans Am, clothed by a black tank top, distressed hot pants, cowboy boots, and a black vest. Cyrus and several female extras make their way to a blue pick-up truck, where Cyrus sings using a digital microphone and the extras accompany her. In the song's second verse, Cyrus lies against a wall depicting the drive-in's name, "Corral Drive-In". Then, an American flag unravels before a single wall in a vacant landscape, where she performs as sparkled confetti drops from above. Later, she, standing on a swing in the center, and numerous backup dancers appears in a jungle gym during the evening. For the song's last refrain, Cyrus performs with four backup dancers on a stage, where the background portrays the American flag and letters above it that spell "USA". Cut-scenes feature people entering the drive-in theater, Cyrus walking throughout the drive-in alone, or her and the backup dancers performing in the jungle gym. The video ends with Cyrus flipping her hair in the stage setting.

A 90-second snippet was shown on September 23, 2009, on Dancing with the Stars.[44] Subsequently that day, the video premiered online on ABC's Music Lounge.[44] Jocelyn Vena of MTV said, "The video is reminiscent of Cyrus' performance of the track on the Teen Choice Awards over the summer — minus the pole dancing."[44] Bill Lamb of About.com felt the video matched the themes and sound of "Party in the U.S.A." almost perfectly. He continued that the overall ambiance of the video remained gently laidback, which, according to him, also fit the track's tenor.[45] According to a survey held by MTV, responses for the music video varied from populations who were "not feeling it" for various reasons to those who enjoyed "the video's energy and thought that the added bit of sexiness was a healthy progression for Cyrus."[46] The video won the MuchMusic Video Award for Best International Artist Video and was nominated for the MuchMusic Video Award for People's Choice: Favourite International Video, but lost to Adam Lambert's video for "Whataya Want From Me" at the 2010 MuchMusic Video Awards.[47]

Live performances

Cyrus performing "Party in the U.S.A." during the Wonder World Tour.

Cyrus first live performance of "Party in the U.S.A." at the Teen Choice Awards held on August 10, 2009. Clothed by a tank top that revealed a portion of her bra, black hot pants, and leather boots, Cyrus and backup dancers appeared from a trailer.[48] Midway through the performance, Cyrus danced atop an ice cream pushcart with a pole (which was suggested to be a dance pole by numerous critics) for approximately forty seconds.[49] Cyrus described the performance to be about her heritage: "[My] performance tonight is funny, but I wanted it to be about [something more]. I'm like, 'This is to represent where I am from. I'm so proud of it.' All the girls trying to be Hollywood and stuff with their big glasses, me shooing them away."[48] The performance was met with a media uproar in regards to her dancing being too suggestive and sexual for a teen-oriented event, which caused The Walt Disney Company to issue a statement distancing themselves from the performance.[50] Ian Drew, senior editor of US Weekly said, "She already has this risque image, so it really wasn't much of a stretch. That's how Britney [Spears] took off. She was the good girl gone bad, and it looks to be working for Miley as well."[51] Other contemporary critics used negative comparisons to Spears,[52] but Cyrus welcomed the comparisons via a post on her official Twitter account.[49] Child psychologist Wendi Fischer told Newsday Cyrus was communicating to her fans that it is acceptable to pole dance, which, according to Fischer, was unacceptable. "Miley's only 16. Why is she rushing it?", she concluded.[51] Other critics defended Cyrus. Apryl Duncan of About.com said viewers should have fixated on her accomplishments that night, winning six awards, rather than the sexuality of the performance.[49] Following the backlash of the performance, Cyrus replaced the ice cream pushcart with a luggage cart while touring.[53]

Continuing promotion for the single and The Time of Our Lives, Cyrus performed "Party in the U.S.A." on The Today Show[54][55] and VH1 Divas in the United States.[56] In the winter, she promoted the track in the United Kingdom at 95.8 Capital FM's Jingle Bell Ball,[57] the annual gala for British Royal Family, Royal Variety Performance,[58] Alan Carr: Chatty Man,[59] and The Late Late Show.[60] Once completing promotion, the song has been performed at Rock in Rio concerts in Lisbon, Portugal[61] and Madrid, Spain,[62] the Paris, France nightclub 1515 Club,[63] the London, England nightclubs Heaven and G-A-Y,[64] Good Morning America,[65] MuchMusic Video Awards,[66] and a concert at the House of Blues in Los Angeles, California, which was streamed across over thirty websites owned by MTV Networks.[67][68]

Cyrus performed the song on all venues of her first world concert tour, the Wonder World Tour, which extended from September to December 2009. During each performance, Cyrus was costumed by a black tank top, black hot pants, black leather boots, and a blue jean vest as images on the overhead screens depicted an abundance of sites in and representations of the United States.[69] She roamed throughout the stage with numerous backup dancers and, mid-performance, entered a luggage cart that escorted her throughout the stage again.[69] The lyrics' reference to Jay-Z was replaced with one for the late Michael Jackson in all live performances.[70] Mikael Wood of The Los Angeles Times, who attended the September 22, 2009, concert at the Staples Center in Los Angeles, California, believed "Cyrus managed a reasonable approximation of a rapper" in the performance.[70] Dave Paulson of The Tennessean reported that the song's performance at the November 25, 2009, concert at the Sommet Center in Nashville, Tennessee "received cheers at Jonas Brothers–worthy decibel levels."[71]

Cover versions

Kidz Bop Kids recorded a cover version of the song for the seventeenth installment of Kidz Bop, released in 2010.[72] James Christopher Monger of Allmusic selected the track as one of Kidz Bop 17's best and said it was fueled by the "same karaoke glee that fueled previous installments."[73] On a season six episode of The Office, "Sabre", Ed Helms (portraying Andy Bernard) and Ellie Kemper (portraying Erin Hannon) performed a parody of "Party in the U.S.A." for the coordinating director of Sabre, using an acoustic guitar. The parody was themed about the city which the series is set in, Scranton, Pennsylvania. Due their boss mispronouncing the word "Sabre", it ended without a rhyme.[74] Kelly West of Cinema Blend wrote, "Still, it was adorable seeing the two sing together. Unfortunately, the rhythm of their flirtation is just as awkward (and equally charming) as the rhythm of the song they attempted to perform."[74]
