The song "Party in the U.S.A." is a mid-tempo song an has prominent pop rock characteristics. It was written by Lukasz Gottwald, Claude Kelly and Jessica Cornish, produced by Gottwald and released as the lead single from Cyrus' second extended play "The Time of Our Lives," it served as promotion for her Wal-Mart clothing line with Max Azria. The song garnered generally positive reviews from critics. Bill Lamb of About.com called it a "lyrically engaging song" and noted that "One of the unique aspects of Miley Cyrus' performance style among current pop artists is that she retains a country edge to her voice when she is performing straightforward pop songs." The song reached t No.2 in the Billboard Hot 100, due to strong digital sales that placed it at No.1 on 'Hot Digital Songs.'
The Grease-inspired music video, directed by Chris Applebaum, and premiered in ABC's music lounge on September 23. The video commences in a defunct drive-in theater, named the Corral Drive-In after the location of one of Tish and Billy Ray Cyrus' first dates. Cyrus arrives at the theater in a black 1979 Pontiac Trans Am. Cyrus wears shorts, a black tank top, cowboy boots, and a vest. As she exits the car she is joined by four of her friends. Other teenagers continue to arrive in vintage cars. Cyrus sings while standing in the back of a pick-up truck with a microphone in her hand and dancing with her friends. The video proceeds to Cyrus leaning against a wall which reads "Corral Drive-In". As the video progresses in both settings, an American flag unravels before a single wall in a vacant landscape and, afterward, Cyrus performs before it while being sprinkled with glitter. The video then features shots of Cyrus and background dancers at night in the theater, balancing on swings in a jungle gym. In the conclusion of the music video, Cyrus and her friends perform the song on a stage while the a projection of the the American flag and the letters "USA" flash behind them.
