"Party In The USA" lyrics

"Party In The USA"

I hopped off the plane at L.A.X.
With a dream and my cardigan
Welcome to the land of fame excess (whoa)
Am I gonna fit in?

Jumped in the cab
Here I am for the first time
Look to my right and I see the Hollywood sign
This is all so crazy
Everybody seems so famous

My tummy's turnin'
And I'm feelin' kinda home sick
Too much pressure and I'm nervous
That's when the taxi man turned on the radio
And a Jay-Z song was on
And a Jay-Z song was on
And a Jay-Z song was on

So I put my hands up
They're playing my song
The butterflies fly away
I'm noddin' my head like yeah
Movin' my hips like yeah
I got my hands up
They're playin' my song
I know I'm gonna be OK
Yeah, it's a party in the USA
Yeah, it's a party in the USA

Get to the club in my taxi cab
Everybody's looking at me now
Like, "Who's that chick that's rockin' kicks?
She gotta be from out of town"

So hard with my girls not around me
It's definitely not a Nashville party
'Cause all I see are stilettos
I guess I never got the memo

My tummy's turnin'
And I'm feelin' kinda home sick
Too much pressure and I'm nervous
That's when the DJ dropped my favorite tune
And a Britney song was on
And a Britney song was on
And a Britney song was on

So I put my hands up
They're playing my song,
The butterflies fly away
I'm noddin' my head like yeah
Movin' my hips like yeah
I got my hands up
They're playin' my song
I know I'm gonna be OK
Yeah, it's a party in the USA
Yeah, it's a party in the USA

Feel like hoppin' on a flight (on a flight)
Back to my hometown tonight (town tonight)
Something stops me every time (every time)
The DJ plays my song and I feel alright (yeah)

So I put my hands up
They're playing my song
The butterflies fly away
I'm noddin' my head like yeah
Movin' my hips like yeah
I got my hands up
They're playin' my song
I know I'm gonna be OK
Yeah, it's a party in the USA
Yeah, it's a party in the USA

So I put my hands up
They're playing my song
The butterflies fly away
I'm noddin' my head like yeah
Movin' my hips like yeah
I got my hands up
They're playin' my song
I know I'm gonna be OK
Yeah, it's a party in the USA
Yeah, it's a party in the USA

The lead single from her first extended play "The Time of Our Lives" (2009).
Jessie J provided additional songwriting on this track. The song was originally written for Jessie J, but all the co-authors (including Dr. Luke and Claude Kelly) decided it was not edgy enough for her. So they re-wrote the song to fit Miley Cyrus' personality and gave it to her.
The lyrics of "Party In The USA" describes the feelings of the narrator during first moments after moving from Nashville, Tennessee, to Hollywood, California.
Jessie J on this song: "And I remember thinking this song is amazing, but I don't know if it's me 110 percent, you know. You can kind of feel it."
The song reached number two position on the Billboard Hot 100 in the United States, and it was the seventh best-selling digital single of 2009 there. Eventually it was certified seven times platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America.
The music video for "Party in the U.S.A." was partly inspired by the film "Grease" (1978).
Jessie J made a cover of this song. "Weird Al" Yankovic made a parody.
