Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You a bad girl and your friends bad too, ooh
We got the swag sauce, she dripping swagu, ooh
You a bad girl and your friends bad too, ooh
You got the swag sauce, she dripping swagu, ooh

I may be young, but I'm ready
To give you all my love
I told my girls you can get it
Don't slow it down, just let it go

So in love
I'll give it all away
Just don't tell nobody tomorrow
So tonight
I'll do it every way
Speakers knockin' 'til the morning light

'Cause we like to party
(I don't know what y'all do)
Hey, hey, hey (but we like to party, we like to party)
Hey, hey, hey (I don't know what y'all do, but we like to party)
(Party, party, party, hey)
'Cause we like to party
(I don't know what y'all do)
Hey, hey, hey (but we like to party, we like to party)
Hey, hey, hey (I don't know what y'all do, but we like to party)
(Party, party)
'Cause we like to party

Your touch is driving me crazy
I can't explain the way I feel
Top down with the radio on
And the night belongs to us
Just hold me close, don't let me go

So in love
I don't care what they say
I don't care if they talking tomorrow
'Cause tonight's the night, oh-oh-oh-oh
That I give you everything
Music knockin' 'til the morning light
'Cause we like to party

Set the scene, three thousand degrees
Ain't worried about them f- n- over there, but they worried 'bout me
I got a homeboy named Butta and another homeboy, that n- named Cheese
F- wit' me, baby, I make it milk 'til it drip down yo' knees
Spit this ish fo' real-o, brain brillo
Kiddo say he looks up to me, this just makes me feel old
Never thought that we could become someone else's hero
Man, we were just in the food court, eating our gyros
Yesterday, that's the way, every single mornin' I try to pray
Grandmom 'n them, they never forgot
Nothin' else really mean nothin' to me
I ain't studyin' the beat, talkin' to me?
Girl, why you f- wit' me?
Move on, ain't nothin' to see
Pssh, always somethin' to saw, I'm the raw, off the rip
'Cause of him, all of them
Will remember the minute they fell in love with rap
Black like havin' your cousin back
Blue like when that rent is due
Cream like when I'm lovin' you, yeah

So in love
I'll give it all away
Just don't tell nobody tomorrow
'Cause tonight's the night, oh-oh-oh-oh
That I give you everything
Music knockin' 'til the morning light

'Cause we like to party
(I don't know what y'all do)
Hey, hey, hey (but we like to party, we like to party)
Hey, hey, hey, hey (I don't know what y'all do, but we like to party)
(Party, party, party, hey)
'Cause we like to party
(I don't know what y'all do)
Hey, hey, hey (but we like to party, we like to party)
Hey, hey, hey (I don't know what y'all do, but we like to party)
(Party, party, party, hey)
'Cause we like to party

You a bad girl and your friends bad too, ooh
We got the swag sauce, she dripping swagu, ooh




You a bad girl and your friends bad too, ooh
You got the swag sauce, she dripping swagu, ooh

Overall Meaning

The song "Party" by Beyoncé and André 3000 is a fun, upbeat anthem about letting loose and having a good time with friends. The chorus repeats "Cause we like to party" over and over again, while the verses talk about the desire to give everything to a special someone and the carefree feeling of dancing and being in love. The line "Your touch is driving me crazy, I can't explain the way I feel" embodies the excitement of a new romance, while "I don't care what they say, I don't care if they talk tomorrow" emphasizes the importance of enjoying the moment and not worrying about what others think.


The verse featuring André 3000 adds a fresh perspective, as he raps about his own experiences with success and fame. He name drops friends and associates, describing his lifestyle with references to temperature and food, but ultimately concludes that his love for music is what matters most - "And that they fell in love with rap, black like havin' your cousin back". The contrast between Beyoncé's smooth vocals and André 3000's rhythmic flow adds depth to the song and highlights the versatility of both artists.
