It's My Party
Jessie J Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You're stuck in the playground and I'm a grown woman now
Considering you hate me, you're stalking like you made me
So why you acting like you're tough
But now I thought you'd had enough
Don't you get tired of being rude
Awww, Come and give me a hug dude

Let's go!

It's my party, I do, do what I want (do, do what I want)
So while you sit and watch me
I keep dancing alone, da-dancing alone
So put this record on and keep it going 'til I say, "Stop!"
If you were wondering if I give a damn, well, I do not
'Cause it's my party, I do, do what I want (do, do what I want)
(Woah-oh, Woah-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh) [x2]

I think it's time you realize
You're only wasting your time
Addicted to attention, you need an intervention
So while you acting like you're sick
Sitting around and talking shit
Don't you get tired of being alone

Awww, your only friend is your phone

OWWWW!

OW! It's my party, I do, do what I want (do, do what I want)
So while you sit and watch me
I keep dancing alone, da-dancing alone
So put this record on and keep it going 'til I say, "Stop!"
If you were wondering if I give a damn, well, I do not
'Cause it's my party, I do, do what I want (do, do what I want)
(Woah-oh, Woah-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh) [x2]

You think I speak too much, I don't care, don't care
You think I tweet too much, I don't care, don't care
You think my clothes are crazy, I don't care, don't care
Well maybe I'm crazy, cray cray cray c'mon!

It's my party, I do, do what I want (do, do what I want)
So while you sit and watch me
I keep dancing alone, da-dancing alone (alone)
So put this record on and keep it going 'til I say, "Stop!"
If you were wondering if I give a damn, well, I do not
'Cause it's my party, I do, do what I want (do, do what I want)
(Woah-oh, Woah-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh) [x2]

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "It's My Party" by Jessie J are about self-empowerment and standing up for oneself in the face of adversity. The song begins with a clear indication of the singer's maturity, as she compares her present state to that of her past. She tells an ex-boyfriend or former friend who has been negative towards her that she is a grown woman now and that he is wasting his time. There is a clear indication that this person has been stalking her, and the singer is clearly annoyed, stating that he is 'addicted to attention' and needs an intervention. Despite this, the singer is unbothered by her ex's actions and encourages him to come and give her a hug, showing her confidence.


The chorus repeats the phrase 'It's my party, I do what I want' over and over again, emphasizing the singer's independence and freedom. She is unwilling to be influenced by others or to sacrifice her own desires for the sake of others' opinions. The repetition invokes a sense of rebellion and confidence that empowers the singer to celebrate and enjoy herself.


The final verse includes several lines about her detractors and their criticisms of her, including her excessive talking and tweeting, and her unique fashion choices. Despite their opinion, she declares that she does not care and even suggests that she might be 'crazy.' This line of the song can be seen as empowering fans and listeners to find confidence in their own unique attributes and qualities that might at times be criticized by others.

This song reminds me of elementary and middle school time and how much it helped me to free myself as a person and become a free person without fear of rejection. With this song, for the first time, I felt free to express my opinion. Jessie if you read this ever i love you and thank you for everything! 🦋
