Where's The Party
Madonna (Ciccone) Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Working Monday through Friday
Takes up all of my time
If I can get to the weekend
Everything will work out just fine
That's when I can go crazy
That's when I can have fun
Time to be with my baby
Time to come undone

Where's the party (where's the party), I want to free my soul
Where's the party (where's the party), I want to lose control
Where's the party (where's the party), I want to free my soul
Where's the party (where's the party), I want to lose control

Couldn't wait to get older
Thought I'd have so much fun
I guess I'm one of the grown-ups
Now I have to get the job done
People give me the business
I'm not living in fear
I'm just living in chaos
Gotta get away from here

Where's the party (where's the party), I want to free my soul
Where's the party (where's the party), I want to lose control
Where's the party (where's the party), I want to free my soul
Where's the party (where's the party), I want to lose control

Don't want to grow old too fast
Don't want to let the system get me down
I've got to find a way to make the good times last
And if you'll show me how, I'm ready now

Slow down you move too fast
Gonna make the good times last
Gonna let my hair hang down
I'm ready now

Slow down you move too fast
Gonna make the good times last
Gonna let my hair hang down
I'm ready now

Where's the party (where's the party)
Where's the party (where's the party), someone tell me
Where's the party (where's the party), come on, come on, come on
Where's the party (where's the party)

Don't want to grow old too fast
Don't want to let the system get me down
I've got to find a way to make the good times last
And if you'll show me how, I'm ready now

Where's the party (where's the party), I want to free my soul
Where's the party (where's the party), I want to lose control
Where's the party (where's the party), I want to free my soul
Where's the party (where's the party), I want to lose control

Slow down you move too fast
Gonna make the good times last
Gonna let my hair hang down
I'm ready now

Slow down you move too fast
Gonna make the good times last
Gonna let my hair hang down
I'm ready now

Where's the party (where's the party)
Where's the party (where's the party), someone tell me
Where's the party (where's the party), come on, come on, come on
Where's the party (where's the party)

We can make it all right
We can make you dance, we can make a party last all night

We can make it all right
We can make you dance, we can make a party last all night

We can make it all right
We can make you dance, we can make a party last all night

We can make it all right
We can make you dance, we can make a party last all night

We can make it all right
We can make you dance, we can make a party last all night

We can make it all right
We can make you dance, we can make a party last all night

We can make it all right
We can make you dance, we can make a party last all night





We can make it all right
We can make you dance, we can make a party last all night

Overall Meaning

"Where's The Party?" is a song by Madonna from her second studio album, "Like a Virgin," released on November 12, 1984. It is an upbeat dance-pop song with a catchy melody that is meant to convey a sense of liberation, excitement and the need to let go of worries.


The lyrics are primarily about a desire for release, emotional freedom and the need to escape from one's daily life. The opening lines suggest that the singer is feeling overworked and constrained by her weekday routines, but is eager to let loose and have fun when the weekend arrives. The chorus expresses this sentiment; Madonna wants to find the party where she can free her soul, lose control and forget about her problems. She encourages others to join her and have a good time.


The bridge of the song, however, takes on a more introspective tone. Madonna admits that growing older is a daunting prospect, and that she wants to avoid becoming too bogged down by adult responsibilities or the pressures of conforming to societal expectations. She wants to find a way to make the good times last and is ready to seize any opportunities that come her way.


Overall, "Where's The Party?" is a fun, upbeat song that captures the excitement of letting go and unwinding after a long week. It's a pop classic that has stood the test of time, with a catchy melody, relatable lyrics and Madonna's signature style.

Trabalho de segunda a sexta
Working monday through friday

Ocupa todo o meu tempo
Takes up all of my time

Se eu puder chegar ao fim de semana
If I can get to the weekend

Tudo vai dar certo
Everything will work out just fine

É quando eu posso enlouquecer
That's when I can go crazy

É quando eu posso me divertir
That's when I can have fun

Hora de estar com meu bebê
Time to be with my baby

Hora de se desfazer
Time to come undone

Cadê a festa, quero libertar minha alma
Where's the party, I want to free my soul

Cadê a festa, quero perder o controle
Where's the party, I want to lose control

Cadê a festa, quero libertar minha alma
Where's the party, I want to free my soul

Cadê a festa, quero perder o controle
Where's the party, I want to lose control

Mal podia esperar para envelhecer
Couldn't wait to get older
Pensei que me divertiria tanto
Thought I'd have so much fun

Acho que sou um dos adultos
Guess I'm one of the grown-ups

Agora eu tenho que fazer o trabalho
Now I have to get the job done

As pessoas me dão o negócio
People give me the business

Eu não estou vivendo com medo
I'm not living in fear

Eu só estou vivendo no caos
I'm just living in chaos

Tenho que fugir daqui
Gotta get away from here

Cadê a festa, quero libertar minha alma
Where's the party, I want to free my soul
Cadê a festa, quero perder o controle
Where's the party, I want to lose control

Cadê a festa, quero libertar minha alma
Where's the party, I want to free my soul

Cadê a festa, quero perder o controle
Where's the party, I want to lose control
Não quero envelhecer rápido demais
Don't want to grow old too fast

Não quero deixar o sistema me derrubar
Don't want to let the system get me down

Eu tenho que encontrar uma maneira de fazer os bons tempos durarem
I've got to find a way to make the good times last
E se você me mostrar como, estou pronto agora
And if you'll show me how, I'm ready now

Desacelera, você se move muito rápido
Slow down you move too fast

Vou fazer os bons tempos durarem
Gonna make the good times last

Vou deixar meu cabelo cair
Gonna let my hair hang down

estou pronto agora
I'm ready now
Desacelera, você se move muito rápido
Slow down you move too fast

Vou fazer os bons tempos durarem
Gonna make the good times last

Vou deixar meu cabelo cair
Gonna let my hair hang down

estou pronto agora
I'm ready now
Onde é a festa (onde é a festa)
Where's the party (where's the party)

Cadê a festa, alguém me diga
Where's the party, someone tell me
Cadê a festa, vamos, vamos, vamos
Where's the party, come on, come on, come on

Onde é a festa (onde é a festa)
Where's the party (where's the party)

Boy this takes me back again. I have heard this track EVERY Christmas Eve since it came out, for real. I remember hearing it in the late 80s on the Eve and not having a party to go to but it still made me feel okay. Been a tradition since for me. Just one of those personal things we have. Tonite is Christmas Eve and I was humming this all day!! Haha. Thank you Madonna.
