"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. | "Can't Stop Partying" was originally written by musician/producer [[Jermaine Dupri]].

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}} | 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]].
