[Chorus]
It's my party and I'll cry if I want to
Cry if I want to, cry if I want to
You would cry too if it happened to you
You would cry, Yeah yeah yeaahhh

[Verse 1]
Got no ice, DJ's not here and I've called him more than twice, but he won't pick up
Where the guys? I've had a couple of friends come, not the ones I really like
What the fuck?

[Chorus]
It's my party and I'll cry if I want to
Cry if I want to, cry if I want to
You would cry too if it happened to you
You would cry too if it happened to you
It's my party and I'll cry if I want to
Cry if I want to, cry if I want to
You would cry too if it happened to you
You would cry, Yeah yeah yeaahhh

[Verse 2]
I was gonna do it big, make it live for a hundred nights
I put my best dress on, overpriced, now the zipper broke in the back so my crack's hanging out
I wish they'd all go home

[Chorus]
It's my party and I'll cry if I want to
Cry if I want to, cry if I want to
You would cry too if it happened to you
You would cry too if it happened to you
It's my party and I'll cry if I want to
Cry if I want to, cry if I want to
You would cry too if it happened to you
You would cry, Yeah yeah yeaahhh

[Chorus]
It's my party and I'll cry if I want to
Cry if I want to, cry if I want to
You would cry too if it happened to you
You would cry too if it happened to you
It's my party and I'll cry if I want to
Cry if I want to, cry if I want to
You would cry too if it happened to you
You would cry, Yeah yeah yeaahhh

[Verse 3: Ty Dolla $ign]
It's my party, I got kush I got molly
Thats your girl, she ain't cute, but she got body
I'ma get her, I'ma hit it, then forget her
You can take her back like a indian giver
Dolla $ign yeah I'm all she ever want to see
She in bed with you, but she still texting me
She wanna turn up with a real one
Pop blue xans now she can't feel nothing
Gone to the moon I got on space jams
Got a white girl and she got a spray tan
I'ma introduce her to my black bitch
Threesome we're an ice cream sandwich
It's my party, it's my party, it's my party
Got your main bitch and she getting naughty
If she don't tell me what she wanna do
You a bitch you can cry if you want to

[Chorus]
It's my party and I'll cry if I want to
Cry if I want to, cry if I want to
You would cry too if it happened to you
You would cry too if it happened to you
It's my party and I'll cry if I want to
Cry if I want to, cry if I want to
You would cry too if it happened to you
You would cry, Yeah yeah yeaahhh

Arguably one of the most anthemic musical duos out there, the pair of Swedish electropop women together known as Icona Pop have been impacting the charts and the dance floors since 2009. Comprised of Stockholm-raised Caroline Hjelt and Aino Jawo, who met accidentally at a party, Icona Pop seeks to make among the world’s best dancepop and synthpop music. The two came to the spotlight initially with the powerfully spunky “Manners” as part of 2011 EP Nights Like This, drawing attention from NME and The Guardian, among other publications.

In the late spring of 2012, Icona Pop gave the world a pre-release single off their debut album Icona Pop and the EP Iconic – the would-be titanic hit “I Love It” featuring the rising UK artist Charli XCX and producer Patrik Berger, of Robyn fame. The maximalist track, anthemic and nihilistic, found itself on the soundtracks of many major projects, namely Girls, The Vampire Desires, Glee and many commercials. “I Love It” eventually rolled to a Top 10 hit status on the Billboard charts and topped the UK Singles chart, selling over 4 million downloads worldwide. The eponymous album faltered chart-wise, but the rest of the album was no less significant than “I Love It” in shaping the synthpop artists' signature sound. The two also found themselves opening the North American leg of Marina and the Diamonds‘ tour accompanying Diamandis’ Electra Heart.

Come 2013, the duo pushed out the feminist “Girlfriend”, interpolating a 2Pac track, which previewed Icona Pop’s debut international album, This Is…Icona Pop, after the releases of “I Love It” and “We Got The World” in 2012. “All Night” came not long after, topping the Billboard dance chart. This Is… marked the true establishment of the Swedes into the dance scene, with its jam-packed nature of maximalist, genre-bending tracks and youthful lyrics of dual emotions. The next year, in 2014, the Swedish duo released “Get Lost”, and worked as opening acts of Miley Cyrus and Katy Perry.
