==Overview==
{{Alone liner notes|On [[September 10]], [[2007]], [[Jermaine Dupri]] sent me a demo of a song he had started writing, '''"Can't Stop Partying" (Track 13)'''. He also sent me his number to discuss where we could take the song. I gave him a call. He told me that he had noticed that the rock world and the hip-hop world were really the same: they were both all about partying. He wanted to write a song–and to find an artist to cover that song–to show the unity between these two apparently disparate worlds. He thought Weezer was the perfect artist.
 
I thought about it long and hard. I had been a great admirer of Jermaine's songs, especially Mariah Carey's "We Belong Together", which had been a big influence on my recent composition, "[[Heart Songs|Heartsongs]]". And I loved the demo he sent me of "Can't Stop Partyin'". It was so fun and catchy.

But the music sounded a little cheesy to me, like generic punk rock. And worst of all, the lyrics were clearly a celebration of drinking and drug-taking, which I could not sing without qualms. I tried to expand the lyrics to make them more in line with my values. That's when I realized what a true genius Jermaine is. His lyrics had seemed so simple to me, as if any seventh-grader could have written them, but when I tried to write a second verse, I couldn't manage to write anything one-tenth as good as his first verse! His lyrics were all about celebration. They were totally inclusive. My lyrics couldn't indicate confidence or joy without being at the expense of someone else. Every line of Jermaine's was so strong, so iconic, like a song title. My lyrics were awkward and strained. I set the song aside. In October, in another [[Vipassana]] course, it suddenly occurred to me that I could change the meaning of the song, not by changing the lyrics, but by changing the music under the lyrics. When I got to my wife's family's house in Japan after the course, I picked up a guitar and strummed the four chords that you hear on my demo of the song. These chords suggested sadness and resignation in the face of something ineluctable, something fated, a drug-habit, a drinking addiction. Suddenly, "I Can't Stop Partying" might be a sad thing to say, and this was the undertone which, I believed, allowed me to sing the song with conviction. Was it a celebration? Or an elegy for one lost? I didn't know. But I thought it was beautiful. And that's all I've ever really cared about as a writer. The happiness of the creative moment. It has always been mine.|''[[Alone II: The Home Recordings of Rivers Cuomo]]'' [[Alone II liner notes|liner notes]]}}


===Appearances===
"Can't Stop Partying" was originally written by musician/producer [[Jermaine Dupri]]. Dupri gave the lyrics to [[Rivers Cuomo]], but Cuomo was dissatisfied with his attempts to create something predictably upbeat, instead opting to juxtapose the lyrics with a more somber tone. This acoustic demo was released in [[2008]] as part of the compilation album ''[[Alone II: The Home Recordings of Rivers Cuomo]]''. Cuomo [[Rivers Cuomo concert: 11/25/2008|performed the song]] with fans at a "[[hootenanny]]" at Fingerprints Music in Long Beach, California, scheduled to coincide with the release of ''Alone II''. The song was Cuomo's personal pick for the set list, and Cuomo named it his favorite song from the album.

==''Alone II'' version==
"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." Initially, Cuomo would give the song what he called a predictable upbeat, "punk rock" sound. After being dissatisfied with the results (and for the song's message, something Rivers took issue with), he opted to juxtapose the "party" lyrics with a more somber feel, musically, employing a minor key, acoustic guitars, and organs. The previous upbeat take on the song has not been released.


"Can't Stop Partying" was first performed live at the [[Rivers Cuomo concert: 11/25/2008 - Long Beach, CA|Alone II hootenanny]] before the album was released. It was Cuomo's personal pick for the set list, naming it as his favorite song from ''Alone II''.
In December of [[2008]], a few weeks after the release of ''Alone II'', Cuomo performed "Can't Stop Partying" (alongside the songs "[[I Was Scared]]" and "[[Don't Worry Baby]]") for ''[[Stereogum Decomposed|Decomposed]]'', a series of studio sessions for the internet publication ''[[Stereogum]]''. For "Can't Stop Partying," Cuomo was accompanied by Dupri on vocals; [[Greg Vail]] on flute; acoustic guitarists [[Ryan Key]] (of [[Wikipedia:Yellowcard|Yellowcard]]), [[Jose Galvez]] (of [[Ozma]]), [[Sean O'Donnell]] (of [[Wikipedia:Reeve Oliver|Reeve Oliver]]), [[Ricky Sans]] (of [[Wikipedia:Melee (band)|Mêlée]]); and percussionist [[Derek Grant]] (of [[Wikipedia:Alkaline Trio|Alkaline Trio]]), among others.<ref>"Rivers Cuomo - "Can't Stop Partying"" ''Stereogum''. 22 December 2008. Archived by ''Wayback Machine'': https://web.archive.org/web/20090129224656/http://stereogum.com:80/decomposed/performance/rivers_cuomo_cant_stop_partyin.php</ref>


A few months after the release of ''Alone II'', a similar arrangement of the song was performed [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jqwsTyLgk9I live for Stereogum.com] by Cuomo, Dupri, Ryan Key of Yellowcard, [[Jose Galvez]] of [[Ozma]], Derek Grant of Alkaline Trio, Sean O'Donnell of Reeve Oliver, Greg Vail (a saxophonist), and Ricky Sans of Melee. A flutist is also featured.
Despite Cuomo's misgivings about recording "Can't Stop Partying" as a rock song, the song was revisited as a rock song for {{PN|Weezer}} seventh album, ''[[Raditude]]'', in [[2009]]. Weezer first premiered a new arrangement of the song (with a new bridge and some modified lyrics) on [[July 24]], [[2009]] at [[Weezer concert: 07/24/2009|Jisan Valley Rock Festival]] in Icheon, South Korea. Weezer also unveiled the songs "[[The Girl Got Hot]]" and "[[I'm Your Daddy]]" at this concert. This arrangement was later recorded in the studio during production on ''Raditude'', but was ultimately scrapped in favor of an arrangement featuring [[Lil Wayne]]. The studio arrangement of this live version was released as a bonus track on [[iTunes Pass: The Weezer Raditude Club|the "iTunes Pass"]] version of ''Raditude'', with the parenthetical "Coconut Teaser Mix." Bassist [[Scott Shriner]] has named this version as his favorite.{{Citation needed}}

And I loved the demo he sent me of "Can't Stop Partyin'". It was so fun and catchy.
Another version of "Can't Stop Partying" was recorded with producer [[Jacknife Lee]] between November of [[2008]] and January of [[2009]].<ref>[[Karl's Corner - 05/26/2009]]</ref> Ultimately, only four tracks produced by Lee would be included on the final version of ''Raditude'', but Lee's version of ''Raditude'' leaked online in [[2017]].


-----
The version that appeared on ''Raditude'' was produced by [[Polow da Don]], and featured a more upbeat, hip-hop sound compared to previous versions, as well as a rap verse by [[Lil Wayne]], reportedly included at the suggestion of Dupri.<ref>Johnson, Alexandra. "Weezer ‘Icons of a Generation Return to their Roots’" ''The Waster''. 8 August 2010. https://www.thewaster.com/interview/weezer-icons-of-a-generation-return-to-their-roots/</ref>. Despite including a high-profile collaborator in Lil Wayne, "Can't Stop Partying" would not receive a music video and was not released as a single. An alternate mix of Polow's version of the song was released on Weezer's Myspace page and eventually appeared on the band's [[iTunes Originals: Weezer|iTunes Originals]] compilation album.

On [[October 22]], [[2009]], a week prior to the release of ''Raditude'', Weezer performed "Can't Stop Partying" for [[Sessions@AOL (2009)|studio sessions at AOL's West Coast studio]]. This version featured an original rap verse performed by rapper [[Chamillionaire]]. Chamillionaire also accompanied Weezer on the song two days later, during [[Weezer concert: 10/24/2009|a concert in Los Angeles]]. During most live performances throughout [[2010]] (including a [[Weezer TV appearance: 05/17/2010 - Lopez Tonight|televised appearance on ''Lopez Tonight'']], Cuomo performed the Lil Wayne rap himself. In subsequent years, the band has performed the song without any bridge.
=="Coconut Teaser" version==
While headlining a [[2009-07-24 - Jisan, Korea|festival in Korea]] in the summer of 2009, Weezer performed a new and very different arrangement of the song, featuring a rock drum beat, distorted guitars, a new bridge. The chorus lyric was also slightly altered, replacing, "I gotta have Patron, I gotta have the E" with "I gotta have the boom, I gotta have the beat," seemingly stemming from Cuomo's previously stated objection to the original's glorification of drugs.  A studio version with a very similar arrangement, with the addition of a children's choir, was released (with the notation "Coconut Teaser mix" in the title) as part of the ''Weezer Raditude Club: iTunes pass'' bundle.  This version was named as the favorite version of Weezer bassist [[Scott Shriner]].
==''Raditude'' version==
The "rock" version underwent a heavily altered remix by [[Polow da Don]], featuring only the vocals and very minimal guitar over a more hip-hop oriented sound, as well as an entirely new bridge featuring a rap verse by [[Lil Wayne]]. Brian Bell stated in a [[2010]] [[TheWaster.com interview with Brian Bell - August 8, 2010|interview with TheWaster.com]] that the Lil Wayne verse was suggested by Jermaine Dupri, and was added as they needed "something different for the third verse"<ref>[https://www.weezerpedia.com/wiki/TheWaster.com_interview_with_Brian_Bell_-_August_8,_2010]</ref>. The lyrics in the chorus were again subtly alterered, restoring the "Patron" lyric but keeping the "beat" lyric. The demo's stripped-down, acoustic qualities were scrapped entirely.
===Band Commentary===
===Band Commentary===
'''Rivers:''' "Can't Stop Partying" I wrote with Jermain Dupri who's like a Hip-Hop/R&B guy. So it was really fun for me. He came in with this total "Woohoo, we're partying" type of vibe. And it wasn't 100% right for me so I wrote some different chords and changed some melodies and gave it a little bit of dark undertone to it. So it had some complexity.

==''iTunes Originals'' version==
==Audio/video==
In November [[2010]] the iTunes compilation album ''iTunes Originals - Weezer'' was released featuring a 4th version of "Can't Stop Partying". Even though not specifically labeled, this version is similar to the ''Raditude'' version, but with real drums and bass guitar and more electric guitars in the mix. It has the same vocals, lyrics and bridge as the ''Raditude'' version. This version was previously heard on Weezer's MySpace page and therefore is sometimes referred to as "MySpace Mix", or "MySpace version".
