Untuk mendongkrak usaha barunya di bidang clothing line bertajuk Max Azria, maka Miley Cyrus akan meluncurkan sebuah album mini berjudul The Time Of Our Lives. Single perdana dari album ini adalah sebuah track yang ditulis oleh Lukasz Gottwald dan Claude Kelly, berjudul “Party In The USA”. Lagu pesta? So pasti!
Liriknya menceritakan tentang sedikit petualangan Miley, rasa beda Nashville ama Hollywood, plus perbandingan rekaman Miley dengan superstar Jay-Z dan Britney Spears. Semuanya terangkum secara implisit di liriknya! Lagu ini jadwal rilis utamanya sebenarnya adalah 4 Agustus, tapi ternyata kebocoran internet memaksa jadwal rilis dipercepat menjadi 29 Juli. Coba perhatikan cover single-nya? Dengan latar persis cover albumnya, tapi dengan tampilan yang jauh lebih menarik dan menjual, bukan?!
Unsur musik band mendominasi track, khas Gottwald dan Kelly banget ini. Tapi sebenarnya arranger nya yang paling jago. Kenapa? Karena ternyata dialah yang bisa mengungkap rahasia bermusik yang benar2 klop untuk Miley, yaitu disesuaikan dengan umur! Inilah resep yang membuat musiknya Miley sangat berasa. Sedangkan untuk vokal, tampak Miley bukan dipersiapkan untuk menjadi world’s best singer, tapi paling enggak dia memiliki corak suara yang khas! Untung saja aransemen tersebut tepat, karena kalau salah2 ramu, musik yang lahir bisa2 a la Paris Hilton, seperti lagu Hayden Panettiere tahun lalu yang berjudul Wake Up Call!

Lyrics:
I hopped off the plane at LAX
with a dream and my cardigan
welcome to the land of fame excess,
am I gonna fit in?
Jumped in the cab,
Here I am for the first time
Look to the right and I see the Hollywood sign
This is all so crazy
Everybody seems so famous
My tummys 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 the Jay Z song was on
and the Jay Z song was on
CHORUS:
So I put my hands up
They’re playing my song,
And the butterflys fly away
Noddin’ my head like yea
Movin my hips like yea
I got my hands up,
They’re playin my song
I know im gonna be ok
Yea, It’s a party in the USA
Yea, It’s a party in the USA
Get to the club in my taxi cab
Everybody’s lookin at me now
Like “whos that chick, thats rockin’ kicks?
She gotta be from out of town”
So hard with my girls all around me
Its definitely not a Nashville party
Cause’ all I see are stilletos
I guess I never got the memo
My tummys turnin and I’m feelin kinda home sick
Too much pressure and I’m nervous
That’s when the D.J. dropped my favorite tune
and a Britney song was on
and the Britney song was on
and the Britney song was on
CHORUS:
So I put my hands up
They’re playing my song,
And the butterflys fly away
Noddin’ my head like yea
Movin my hips like yea
I got my hands up,
They’re playin my song
I know im gonna be ok
Yea, It’s a party in the USA
Yea, 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 everytime (everytime)
The DJ plays my song and I feel alright
CHORUS:
So I put my hands up
They’re playing my song,
And the butterflys fly away
Noddin’ my head like yea
Movin my hips like yea
I got my hands up,
They’re playin my song
I know im gonna be ok
Yea, It’s a party in the USA
Yea, It’s a party in the USA
So I put my hands up
They’re playing my song,
And the butterflys fly away
Noddin’ my head like yea
Movin my hips like yea
I got my hands up,
They’re playin my song
I know im gonna be ok
Yea, It’s a party in the USA
Yea, It’s a party in the USA
