[[Jermaine Dupri]] wrote the lyrics, and gave them to [[Rivers Cuomo]] because he claimed, as the Alone II liner notes say, that "the rock world and the hip-hop world were really the same: they were both all about partying."
"Can't Stop Partying" was written by [[Rivers Cuomo]] and [[Jermaine Dupri]]. Dupri wrote the lyrics and gave them to Cuomo claiming that, as the ''Alone II'' liner notes say, "the rock world and the hip-hop world were really the same: they were both all about partying."


The song was first performed live at the [[Alone II Jam Session]] before the album was released.  It was Rivers' personal pick for the set list.
The song went through sizeable changes from the time when it was released as a demo to the time it was released on [[2009|2009's]] ''Raditude''. The addition of a rap verse by [[Lil Wayne]] was one of those major changes. The lyrics in the chorus were altered slightly, and the song's stripped-down, acoustic qualities were scrapped in favor of a more hip-hop oriented sound.
