Party in the U.S.A.

Last updated

"Party in the U.S.A." is a song with a length of three minutes and twenty-three seconds. [19] The song has been described as "reggae-powered pop tune". [20] 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-sharp major. [21] Cyrus's vocals feature belter refrains. [22] It follows the chord progression F#–A#m–D#m–D#m–C#. [21] The song's instrumentation includes a "clash between feathery jazz guitar chords and a booming synth bassline serving as hook". [23]

The lyrics for "Party in the U.S.A." are autobiographical; although initially about Jessie J's relocation from the United Kingdom to Los Angeles, it was rewritten to better reflect on Cyrus's relocation from Nashville, Tennessee. [22] The song begins at Los Angeles International Airport. In the verses, the subject details her experiences in Hollywood and struggles with fitting in [22] that make her feel homesick and intimidated. [24] In the chorus, the subject is able to feel more confident by listening to her favourite songs. [22] 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." [22]

"Party in the U.S.A." received critical acclaim. Michael Hann of The Guardian stated that "Party in the U.S.A." was a cute pop song. [23] Later, while reviewing Cyrus's Wonder World Tour, he elaborated the song was a reminder "that manufactured pop need not be a bad thing – if the manufacturing is good enough". [25] Jaime Gill of Yahoo! Music wrote, "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.'" [26] 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". [27] Heather Phares of AllMusic selected the track as one of the EPs best, describing it as a frothy party anthem suitable for Cyrus's alias, Hannah Montana. [28]

Erik Ernst of The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel called the song "ridiculously catchy". [29] Mikael Wood of Entertainment Weekly decided that "Party in the U.S.A." was Cyrus's bouncy attempt at urban music, since she had previously transitioned into other markets. [30] Jessica Holland of The Observer deemed "Party in the U.S.A." one of the highlights on The Time of Our Lives. [24] Michael Menachem of Billboard stated the song was one of Cyrus's most entertaining songs. 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." [31] Ryan Brockington of the New York Post said that although the track was more mainstream than Cyrus's previous singles, he did not dislike it. [32] 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's 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." [22]

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 ideas for the video already conceived. Her ideas for the video's theme were about "high-gloss, glamorous white trash." [61] She told Applebaum she desired to pay homage to one of her favorite movies, Grease (1978), and her parents' courting days. [61] 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. [61] To render tribute to her parents' courting days, Cyrus and Applebaum named a drive-in theater in the video Corral Drive-In after a Kentucky drive-in where Cyrus's parents had a date. "In addition, Miley's mom Tish used to drive '79 black Pontiac Trans Am, Smokey and the Bandit style, and obviously that's the car that Miley arrives in," Applebaum said. [61]

The video commences by showing a drive-in theater in the day. Cyrus later arrives in a 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 with 33 stars and 8 stripes unfurls before a freestanding wall in a vacant landscape, where she sings into a microphone as glitter confetti drops from above. Later, she, standing on a swing in the center, and several backup dancers appear in a jungle gym during the evening. For the song's final refrain, Cyrus performs with four backup dancers on a stage, where the background plays 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 whipping her hair in the stage setting.

A 90-second snippet was shown on September 23, 2009, on Dancing with the Stars . [62] Subsequently, that day, the video premiered online on ABC's Music Lounge. [62] 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." [62] 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." [63] At the Canadian 2010 MuchMusic Video Awards, which Cyrus hosted, 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". [64]

Live performances

Cyrus's first live performance of "Party in the U.S.A." at the Teen Choice Awards held on August 9, 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. [65] 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. [66] 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." [65] 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 Disney to issue a statement distancing themselves from the performance. [67] 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." [68] Other contemporary critics used negative comparisons to Spears, [69] but Cyrus welcomed the comparisons via a post on her official Twitter account. [66] 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. [68] 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. [66] Following the controversy of the performance, Cyrus replaced the ice cream pushcart with a luggage cart while touring. [70]

In 2009, Cyrus continued promotion for the single and The Time of Our Lives, performing "Party in the U.S.A." on NBC's Today [71] and VH1 Divas in the United States. [72] [73] In the winter, she promoted the track in the United Kingdom at 95.8 Capital FM's Jingle Bell Ball, [74] the annual gala for British Royal Family, Royal Variety Performance,[ citation needed ] and Alan Carr: Chatty Man , [75] as well as in Ireland on The Late Late Show . [76] 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 clothed by a black tank top, black hot pants, black leather boots and a denim vest as images on the overhead screens depicted an abundance of sites in and representations of the United States. [77] She roamed throughout the stage with several backup dancers and, mid-performance, entered a luggage cart that escorted her throughout the stage again. [77] The lyrics' reference to Jay-Z was replaced with one for Michael Jackson in all live performances. [78] Mikael Wood of The Los Angeles Times , who attended the September 22, 2009, concert at the Staples Center in Los Angeles, believed "Cyrus managed a reasonable approximation of a rapper" in the performance. [78] 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." [79]

In 2010, while promoting her Can't Be Tamed album, Cyrus performed "Party in the U.S.A." at Rock in Rio concerts in Lisbon, Portugal,[ citation needed ] and Madrid, Spain, [80] the 1515 Club in Paris, France, [81] G-A-Y club in London,[ citation needed ] Good Morning America , [82] 2010 MuchMusic Video Awards, [83] in Toronto, Ontario. and a concert at the House of Blues in Los Angeles, which was streamed across over 30 websites owned by MTV Networks. [84] [85] In 2011, she performed the song in her second and third world concert tours, the Gypsy Heart Tour [86] [87] [88]

In 2013, Cyrus sang "Party in the U.S.A." during her performances held to promote Bangerz album. She performed the single on Jimmy Kimmel Live! , [89] 2013 iHeartRadio Music Festival in Las Vegas, [90] Today, [91] and the series of Jingle Ball concerts in December (including Jingle Bell Ball in Los Angeles). [92] In 2014 she included this song on her Bangerz Tour. While singing "Party in the U.S.A.", Cyrus has shorter blonde hair, a leotard with red, white, and blue sequins, a white cowboy hat, star-spangled boots, and a set of fake teeth during the performance. The backup dancers were dressed as American monuments. [93] Her performance received positive reviews from critics. Théoden Janes of The Charlotte Observer wrote, "She turned a verse of Party in the U.S.A. into a cool, cocky rap" [94] and John J. Moser of The Morning Call said that the performance resonated with the audience, even though Cyrus was lifted atop a huge pedestal. [95] Jane Stevenson of the Toronto Sun wrote, "She went for a big ending, with fireworks, confetti, an elevating stage and dancers dressed as Abe Lincoln, Mount Rushmore, the Liberty Bell and The Statue of Liberty for the final older song Party in the U.S.A." [96] A critic from Nashville Scene wrote, "Party in the U.S.A. was sung by Miley and screamed back by the people in the crowd. Cue red-white-and-blue confetti. Cue fireworks. Pack the Bangerz Tour up and put the circus back on the road. Fans in other cities need to party, too." [97] Cyrus also performed the song during the musical festival on June 21, 2014, Summertime Ball at Wembley Stadium of London, in front of 80,000 people. [98]

In honor of Pride Month, Cyrus performed "Party in the U.S.A" at the Capital Pride in Washington, D.C. on June 11, 2017. [99] On September 15, she performed the song for the BBC Radio 1 Live Lounge, accompanied with other songs like "Malibu", "See You Again", "Younger Now" and a cover of Roberta Flack's "The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face". [100]

Cyrus again performed the "Party In the U.S.A." along with "Edge of Midnight" and "Prisoner" on Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve with Ryan Seacrest in Times Square on December 31, 2020. [101]

Cover versions

In the sixth season 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 focused on the city in which the series is set, Scranton, Pennsylvania. Because of their boss mispronouncing the word "Sabre", it ended without a rhyme. [102] 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." [102]

On the May 26, 2011, episode of talk show Late Night with Jimmy Fallon , "Party in the U.S.A." was covered in the style of Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young, a recurrent bit on the show. Host Jimmy Fallon sang lead (impersonating Neil Young), while playing an acoustic guitar and harmonica. Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young members David Crosby and Graham Nash joined to Fallon with vocal harmonies. Matthew Perpetua of Rolling Stone described it as "a sad, beautifully harmonized folk rendition of Miley Cyrus's 'Party in the U.S.A.' that manage[d] to make the joyful tween anthem sound like a vintage Sixties protest song." [103]

A cover of the song was made by Kidz Bop Kids. They made a redo version in 2021.

A parody titled "Party in the CIA" was included on "Weird Al" Yankovic's 13th studio album, Alpocalypse (2011). This parody excluded the final chorus, thus only repeating once after the bridge. [104]

Prior to the 2012 Summer Olympics, the United States women's national soccer team made a video of the players lip synching to the song; the video became very popular. [105]

In 2016, a rendition of "Party in the U.S.A", covered by Alana D, was featured in The Purge: Election Year . [106]

Party in the U.S.A. was included in the Album Now That's What I Call A Decade! 2000s, but the line Yeah it's a party in the USA at the end of the song repeats four times instead of two.

Impact and legacy

"Party in the U.S.A." resurged in popularity in the wake of the killing of Osama bin Laden on May 2, 2011. The song's official YouTube video was flooded with comments regarding the killing of bin Laden and it was immediately deemed a celebratory anthem for the event. The track's association to his death continued on other social media, such as Facebook and Twitter, and it was played as individuals celebrated outside of the White House. [107] Of the song becoming an anthem for bin Laden's death, Nitsuh Abebe of New York magazine wrote, "I have to confess that my list of reactions to the news did not get anywhere near 'watch a Miley Cyrus video.' The reason it occurred to others is surely as simple as it seems: This is a recent hit song whose title is dominated by the words 'party' and 'U.S.A.' Looking for anything more apt would be overthinking it. Cyrus' video... is stocked with a great many of those things we like and do well: a drive-in theater, trucks and muscle cars, Daisy Dukes, giant flags. It is, just like bin Laden's death, another convenient opportunity to celebrate ourselves." [107]

Following the 2020 United States presidential election, as major news outlets announced Democratic nominee Joe Biden the winner of the presidential race, on November 7, 2020, supporters in New York City began singing "Party in the U.S.A." at Times Square. [108] This caused the song to re-enter the charts, breaking through the iTunes Top 200. [109] Cyrus also tweeted a video in celebration of Biden's win, writing "Now THIS is a PARTY IN THE USA!", where she made a short clip combining Party in the USA with Wrecking Ball, with the background music being the second to last line in the song.
