When a writer's strike interrupted a movie they were filming, Chase Hampton and Tiffini Hale were cast as the new generation of Mouseketeers. On the show, Hampton started a music group with fellow cast members, including Albert Fields. Disney, which had started the Hollywood Records label, signed the group, which now consisted of Hampton, Hale, Fields, Damon Pampolina, and Deedee Magno. As part of the promotion for the band, a name-the-band contest was held. The result was "The Party," which is a backronym for "Positive Attitude Reflecting Today's Youth."
Over the next several years, The Party released four albums; The Party (1990), In the Meantime, in Between Time (1991), Free (1992), and The Party's Over...Thanks for Coming (1994). Their albums were a mix of assembly line songs and pop/rock hits such as "Walkin' in the Rain," "My Generation," and "I Know What Boys Like," given a slick dance treatment for public consumption. However, the venture never really translated into major hit songs or platinum-selling sales.
The group did manage to find the charts with four singles, but only one, a version of Dokken's "In My Dreams," cracked the Top 40 reaching number 34. They were given the compilation treatment with a greatest-hits package released in 1997, but the Party was overshadowed by the future success of other Mouseketeers venturing into the pop music world, including Christina Aguilera and Britney Spears.
The Party has released several singles since reuniting in 2013, including their latest single, "Don't Stop" in April 2020.
I Wish You Peace
The Party Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But I wish I could hold you
I've started running and owning up to my mistakes
And I wish I could show you
Everything I see
Is shaped within me
Everything I do
It's clear you're happiest when I don't interfere
But I wish I could call you
I bought your vibrator to sorta keep you here
Just wish I could fuck you
Everything'll be
Shaped within me
Everything I do
Is shaped to you
So everything I see
That's shaped within me
Is only you
There's only you
In the song "I Wish You Peace" by The Party, the artist seems to be reflecting on a recent breakup and expressing their desire to reconcile with their former partner. The first verse describes how the artist ended the relationship to prevent any further harm to their physical well-being, but now misses the physical intimacy they shared with their ex-partner. The second verse takes a more reflective tone, with the artist acknowledging their mistakes and expressing the desire to make amends with their former lover. However, the artist also admits that they feel like their entire world revolves around their ex-partner, and that they struggle to let go.
