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

"Party in the U.S.A." (or "Party in the USA" as in the UK label) is a pop song performed by American recording artist Miley Cyrus. The song was written by Lukasz Gottwald, Claude Kelly and Jessica Cornish, and produced by Gottwald. Released as the lead single from Cyrus' second extended play The Time of Our Lives, it served as promotion for her Wal-Mart clothing line with Max Azria. The song was scheduled to be released to mainstream radio on August 3, 2009, but the release date was changed to July 29 following an unauthorized leak on the Internet. "Party in the U.S.A." is a mid-tempo song and has prominent pop rock characteristics. The song's lyrics evoke Cyrus' move from Nashville, Tennessee to Los Angeles, California.

The song garnered commercial success for Cyrus in several nations, including Australia, Canada, New Zealand, United Kingdom, and the United States. In the Billboard Hot 100, the song reached its highest international peak at number two due to strong digital sales that placed it at number one on Hot Digital Songs. The song became her best charting single, first number one on Hot Digital Songs and Hollywood Records' fastest selling song. The song reached number one on the Billboard Pop 100 chart on October 30, 2009. The song has stayed in the top ten of the Hot 100 for 16 weeks beating out The Climb's eight weeks.

A Grease-inspired music video, directed by Chris Applebaum, to "Party in the U.S.A." was released on September 23. Cyrus promoted the song by performing it at several venues, including on her first international concert tour, Wonder World Tour. Rolling Stone ranked the song #4 on their Best 25 Songs of 2009 list[3] .

Background

The song was written by experienced American pop rock producer, songwriter and musician Lukasz Gottwald in collaboration with Claude Kelly and Jessica Cornish. Cyrus recorded "Party in the U.S.A." at 3180 Media Group, located in Savannah, Georgia, when living in Georgia due to filming The Last Song.[1] Vocal editing was done by Emily Wright, instrumental work and production by Gottwald and background vocals by the writers in addition to Douglas Wright. The mixing by Serban Ghenea was set in MixStar Studios in Virginia Beach.[1]

"Party in the U.S.A." is a pop song that uses synthesizers. Among the influences in the song include reggae-pop,[4] hip-hop and R&B.[5] According to About.com, the song is a "mid-tempo reflective song," though the New York Post considers it is more up-tempo.[6] Like Cyrus' first single "See You Again," the song has a moderate synth-dance-rock groove and it is composed in the key of F-sharp major with a tempo of 96 beats per minute.[7]

The song was not originally written for Cyrus- Kelly stated that while "he is thrilled with what Cyrus did with the song, even though it wasn't originally written for her. "We made some tweaks to it to reflect who she is and what she's doing as an artist. Then, she took it into the studio and just killed it."[8] The lyrics discuss Cyrus' move from Nashville, Tennessee to Los Angeles, California and the struggles that came along with it. At first the song's protagonist feels nervous in Los Angeles, but then she hears familiar songs by Jay-Z and Britney Spears and feels more at home.[6][9] Cyrus has stated that she truly likes songs from Spears and considers Spears as one of her idols,[10] but that she has never heard a Jay-Z song.[11]

Cyrus states that the single is an "All-American song."[12] When performing the song live, she changed the lyrics at certain shows on her tour, replacing the word "Nashville" with other cities such as Miami or Atlanta. She has also replaced "Jay-Z" with Michael, and while performing in Britain, once replaced Britney with Gaga.

Critical reception

Cyrus singing "Party in the U.S.A." on the Wonder World Tour.

The song garnered mainly positive reviews from critics. Bill Lamb of About.com called it a "lyrically engaging song" and noted that "One of the unique aspects of Miley Cyrus' performance style among current pop artists is that she retains a country edge to her voice when she is performing straightforward pop songs."[6] Heather Phares of Allmusic criticized the song, naming it "frothy" and saying it "borders on shrill."[13] However, Phares noted it, along with "The Time of Our Lives" and "Before the Storm," pleases Hannah Montana fans.[13]

Michael Menachem of Billboard claimed that "producer Gottwald 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."[4] Mikael Wood of Entertainment Weekly stated that "Party in the U.S.A." is a "bouncy Dr. Luke jam that finds Hannah Montana lost (and loving it) in Hollywood."[5] Ryan Brockington of the New York Post said, "The song is a little more mainstream pop than her previous efforts, and I gotta say, I hate it."[9]

Chart performance

"Party in the U.S.A." became Cyrus' best charting effort to date on the Billboard Hot 100 and her fifth U.S. airplay hit. In the first two weeks of its commercial release to mainstream radio, 78 stations added the song to their playlist thus making it the most added song for those weeks.[14] This led to the song's first appearance on U.S. airplay charts, debuting at 43 in the Hot 100 Airplay chart and later peaking at number 13[15] and at 40 on Pop Songs[16] from Billboard issue dated August 22, 2009. The week after, issue dated August 29, the song ended the Black Eyed Peas' 19-week hold at no. 1 when it debuted on Hot Digital Songs with over 226,000 paid downloads, making Cyrus' first number one on the digital sales chart.[17] The song has become her third song to sell over 2,000,000 digital downloads, following See You Again and The Climb As of January 6, "Party" has sold over 3,160,000 digital downloads, making this her best selling song. "Party in the U.S.A." has become a huge airplay hit for Cyrus' in the U.S., becoming her first #1 on the Mainstream Top 40, also known as the Pop Songs chart. It is her second song to top an airplay chart, as "The Climb" reached #1 on Adult Contemporary radio. And it becomes Miley Cyrus's third song on the adult contemporary chart after See You Again and The Climb, peaking at #16 on that chart. It is also the 200th song to top the Mainstream Top 40, since its creation in 1992.[18]

The song debuted on the Billboard Hot 100 at number two, topping "The Climb," that peaked at number four. After two weeks, it descended to number three, and then to #6 before returning to the #2 position where it currently stands.[15][19] It was also the highest debut by a female solo artist since Carrie Underwood's 2005 song "Inside Your Heaven," until Britney Spears' song "3" which debuted at number one for the week of October 24, 2009.[20][21] The song thereby became the "fastest breaking downloaded single in Hollywood Records' history."[20]

"Party in the U.S.A." achieved commercial success in Canada as well, debuting at number six and peaking at number three on the Canadian Hot 100.[15] For issue date September 7, 2009, the song debuted at number fourteen in the Australian ARIA Singles Chart in September 2009. The song has so far peaked at number six, becoming Cyrus's fourth top ten hit in Australia.[15] "Party in the U.S.A." debuted at number 11 on the RIANZ New Zealand Singles Chart and has so far peaked at number 3, becoming her first top ten hit there.[15] It was certified Platinum in after 14 weeks on the chart, selling over 15,000 copies.[22]

On November 1, 2009, the song debuted at #11 in the UK Singles Chart and although it peaked at #7 on the UK iTunes chart it has so far been unable to climb any higher. Despite being her sixth top 30 hit in the country, it is her third single to reach #11 alongside "See You Again" and "The Climb", meaning she is yet to have a top 10 UK hit.[23]

Music video

The "Party in the U.S.A." music video was inspired in part by the 1978 film Grease. The video's composure sprang forward from the scene from in which John Travolta is balancing on a swing in a jungle gym, during nighttime.

The music video for "Party in the U.S.A.," directed by Chris Applebaum,[24] premiered in ABC's music lounge on September 23, 2009.[25][26] A sneak peek of the video premiered earlier the same day on Dancing with the Stars in the United States.[26][27] The video then premiered to the United Kingdom in Cyrus's official UK MySpace on September 24.[28].

Applebaum told Jocelyn Vena of MTV news that Cyrus came to him with a vision of a "high-gloss, glamorous white trash" video that would also pay tribute to one of her favorite films, Grease, and to her parents' courting days. Applebaum says the video "sprang forward from that scene in Grease where John Travolta is singing ... and he gets out of the car and goes to jungle gym and sits in one of the swings and sings the song at night as projections go in the background".[29]

The video commences in a defunct drive-in theater, named the Corral Drive-In after the location of one of Tish and Billy Ray Cyrus' first dates. Cyrus arrives at the theater in a black 1979 Pontiac Trans Am, the car her mother drove when she was younger.[29] Cyrus wears blue short shorts, a brown low-cut tank top, a black bra, cowboy boots, and a cardigan. As she exits the car she is joined by four of her friends. Other teenagers continue to arrive in vintage cars. Cyrus sings while standing in the back of a pick-up truck with a microphone in her hand and dancing with her friends. The video proceeds to Cyrus leaning against a wall which reads "Corral Drive-In". As the video progresses in both settings, an American flag unravels before a single wall in a vacant landscape and, afterward, Cyrus performs before it while being sprinkled with glitter. The video then features shots of Cyrus and background dancers at night in the theater, balancing on swings and climbing on a jungle gym. In the conclusion of the music video, Cyrus and her friends perform the song on a stage while the a projection of the American flag and the letters "USA" flash behind them.

Vena of MTV news described the video as "reminiscent of Cyrus' performance of the track on the Teen Choice Awards over the summer — minus the pole dancing."[26] However, The Huffington Post believed that though Cyrus "[kept] it real" in the video, her dance moves remained risqué.[30] LimeLife's Susie Anderson took issue with her clothing, saying she enjoys "Party in the U.S.A."'s "fun and [..] young feel", but that Cyrus' "extremely short shorts and a cleavage-bearing shirt" is "a bit racy for a 17 year old."[31] Bill Lamb of About.com felt the video celebrated being "young and American", thereby fitting the "themes and sound of the song nearly perfectly. [... The] clip remains gently laidback matching the tempo and tenor of the song."[32] The music video on youtube has over 70 million views since its release on September 23.

Live performances

Cyrus performed the song at the 2009 Teen Choice Awards on August 10.[33] She performed in a tank top that revealed much of her bra, hot pants, and leather boots. In the performance, Cyrus slightly altered the lyrics by changing the first verse reference to Britney Spears instead of Jay-Z, and the second verse references Michael Jackson, instead of Spears; she later incorporated this into every performance of the song.[34] The performance started with Cyrus and her backup dancers coming out of a trailer and dancing a routine around the stage. Mid-way through the performance, Cyrus stepped onto an ice cream pushcart. Cyrus danced atop the cart while dancing beside and holding on to a pole for approximately 40 seconds. While some critics argued it was used for balance, a majority claimed it was a dance pole and that Cyrus was pole dancing.[35] This performance drew controversy, with the majority of claims stating it was too sexual for a kid/teen-oriented event.[36][37][38]

She explained that the song was "All-American," which inspired an early section of the performance where Cyrus and her dancers dance in a "blinged-out trailer park."[12][39]

During her Wonder World Tour, Cyrus replaced the ice-cream push-cart she used in her 2009 Teen Choice Awards performance with a luggage cart due to claims the push-cart had a dance pole attached.

Cyrus' performance of the song was compared to recent performances by recording artist Britney Spears, to whom Cyrus presented the Ultimate Choice Award the same night.[35][36] Cyrus welcomed the comparisons on her official Twitter account, saying, "For all the people calling me the 'next Britney' THANK U [sic]. I couldn't ask for a better compliment :)"[35][40] US Weekly senior editor Ian Drew criticized Cyrus.[37] Drew said that "She already has this risque image, so it really wasn't much of a stretch. That's how Britney took off. She was the good girl gone bad, and it looks to be working for Miley as well."[37] He added, "While Miley's adult actions may boost her career, it's not good for her young fans."[37] Child psychologist Wendi Fischer told Newsday, "She's sending this message that this is 'OK' to do, and I don't think it is OK to do. Miley's only 16. Why is she rushing it?"[37] Margie Barron of Entertainment Today commented, "The 16-year-old sensation is still 16, and... that’s too young to dress and act like a pole-dancing stripper.... as she was making gyrating moves while straddling the pole. It was very obvious that this was choreography better suited for an adult audience."[41]

Apryl Duncan of About.com defended Cyrus, saying: "While Cyrus' performance is the hot buzz and the most memorable moment of the 2009 Teen Choice Awards, it overshadowed her own big night. She took home six awards for her music and work on Disney's Hannah Montana. Instead of the young star's accomplishments, people are fixated on the pole-dancing controversy."[35] Bill Lamb, also of About.com, also defended Cyrus and her performance.[6][42] "Miley Cyrus generated some controversy when she performed 'Party in the USA' at the 2009 Teen Choice Awards. She was decked out in leather with a dance pole."[42] He adds, "Any artist's emergence from being a child or teen star into an adult persona is difficult."[42]

Talk show host/Comedian Chelsea Handler, who has criticized Cyrus in the past, also defended her. On her talk show Chelsea Lately, she said she didn't think of the performance as sexual, she thought it was "just plain awesome". Handler also complimented her performance and the song.

A spokesperson for Disney said, "Disney Channel won't be commenting on that performance, although parents can rest assured that all content presented on the Disney Channel is age-appropriate for our audience - kids 6-14 - and consistent with what our brand values are."[43]

Due to a cancellation made by Mariah Carey, Cyrus also performed the song along with "The Climb," "See You Again" and "Kicking and Screaming" on the August 28, 2009 episode of the The Today Show.[44][45] On September 17, 2009, Cyrus performed the song on VH1 Divas, alongside a duet with Sheryl Crow entitled "If It Makes You Happy."[46] During the performance, Cyrus danced in a short black skirt alongside dancers in top hats and sleeveless tux shirts.[46]

The song is being performed at several venues in her first international concert tour, the Wonder World Tour.[47] During these performances, Cyrus wears black boots, short black shorts and tank top, completed by a jean vest.[48] The performances involve an abundant background dancers, who maneuver stunts, including one in which Cyrus dances in a hotel luggage cart.[47] Following the backlash, the luggage cart was actually a replacement of the ice cream pushcart used in the 2009 Teen Choice Awards performance.[49] Critical response for this has so far been positive. Melinda M. Thompson of The Oregonian said, "The backup dancers were first-rate, adding hip-hop style and energy to just about every number."[48]

Cyrus sang this at Capital FM's Jingle Bell Ball on Saturday 5 December [50] and she sang the song at the Royal Variety Show on Monday, December 7, 2009.

Cyrus performed this at the Royal Variety Performance on 8 December in front of Queen Elizabeth II. This aired on ITV1 in the United Kingdom on 16 December. In this performance, she changed "Jay-Z" for "GaGa" and danced the Bad Romance choreography, after the performance, she wrote how happy she was after meeting Lady Gaga

Cyrus also performed this on UK chat show Alan Carr: Chatty Man, she did an interview and then at the end of the show performed Party In The U.S.A.

Cyrus performed this on The Late Late Show in Dublin, Ireland on 18 Demember 09.
