[Verse 1]
If you didn't know that you were right for me
Then there’s nothing I can say
Tried to call you out to spend some time to see
But somebody's in your way
Tried to let it go and say I'm over you
I’m not over you
But I'm trying

[Pre-Chorus]
Party for one
If you don't care about me
I'll just dance for myself
Back on my beat
I'll be the one
If you don't care about me
Making love to myself
Back on my beat

[Chorus]
You don't want my love
If you don't care about me
I’ll just dance for myself
Back on my beat
Party for one
If you don’t care about me
Making love to myself
Back on my beat

[Post-Chorus]
Party for one
Pa-pa-pa-pa-party for one
Party for one
Pa-pa-pa-pa-party for one

[Verse 2]
Once upon a time, I thought you wanted me
Was there no one else to kiss? (No one else to kiss)
Was it all a dream I let myself believe?
I'm not over this (I’m not over this)
But I'm trying

[Pre-Chorus]
Party for one
If you don't care about me
I'll just dance for myself
Back on my beat
I’ll be the one
If you don't care about me
(You don't care that I'm)
Making love to myself
Back on my beat

[Chorus]
You don't want my love
If you don't care about me
I'll just dance for myself
Back on my beat (Back on my beat)
Party for one
If you don't care about me
(You don't care about me)
Making love to myself (Hey)
Back on my beat

[Post-Chorus]
Party for one
Pa-pa-pa-pa-party for one
Party for one
Pa-pa-pa-pa-party for one
Party for one
Pa-pa-pa-pa-party for one
Party for one
Pa-pa-pa-pa-party for one

[Bridge]
Back on my beat
Back on my beat
Party for one
'Cause you don't care about me
Back on my beat
Back on my beat
Party for one
Back on my beat

[Chorus]
You don't want my love
If you don't care about me
(You don't care about me)
I'll just dance for myself
Back on my beat (Back on my beat)
Party for one
If you don't care about me
(You don't care that I'm)
Making love to myself
Back on my beat
Ahh

[Post-Chorus]
Party for one
Pa-pa-pa-pa-party for one
Party for one
Pa-pa-pa-pa-party for one
Party for one
Pa-pa-pa-pa-party for one
Party for one
Pa-pa-pa-pa-party for one

[Outro]
Back on my beat
Back on my beat
Party for one

Carly Rae Jepsen

Carly Rae Jepsen is a Canadian singer and songwriter. Born in 1985, she first came to fame by finishing in third place on the TV show Canadian Idol. Shortly afterwards, she released her debut album, Tug Of War, including the Canadian top 40 singles “Tug Of War” and “Bucket.”

Three years later, she released the single “Call Me Maybe” and planned to follow it with what would have been her second album, Curiosity. However, after the song caught the ear of fellow Canadian, Justin Bieber, he referred her to his manager, Scooter Braun, which led to her signing an international deal with Interscope Records. Before long, it became one of 2012’s most enduring hits, racking up over a billion YouTube views and topping the charts in 21 countries, including the US and Canada. The aforementioned Curiosity album was cut down to EP length, and work continued on her eventual sophomore LP, Kiss. Released in September 2012, it also featured the Owl City collaboration “Good Time”, which reached #8 on the Billboard Hot 100.

Jepsen returned in March 2015 with “I Really Like You,” the lead single from her third studio album. The song received a more muted reception than her breakout hit–although it did reach #2 in the United Kingdom–and consequently, the album, E•MO•TION, failed to make a substantial impact chartwise. Despite this, the album drew in a new wave of fans with its more experimental and mature sound; such was the amount of praise among both the public and critics that a follow-up EP of album outtakes–E•MO• Side B–was released on the album’s first anniversary.
