Party 4 U Lyrics by Charli XCX

I only threw this party for you
Only threw this party for you, for you, for you
I was hopin’ you would come through
I was hopin’ you would come through, it’s true, it’s true
Only threw this party for you
I only threw this party for you, for you, for you
I’m about to party on you
Watch me, watch me party on you, yeah
One thousand pink balloons
Dj with your favorite tunes
Birthday cake in August
But you were born nineteenth of June
Champagne pourin’ in your mouth
Called your friends from out of town
Got the party bag with the purple pills
And I’m waiting for you by the window, yeah
Called your digits, but the phone kept ringin’
Wish I knew what you were thinking
Na-na, na, one thousand pink balloons
Dancin’ on to your favorite tunes
Hope you walk in the party
‘Cause I threw the party just for you, like oh
I only threw this party for you
Only threw this party for you, for you, for you
I was hopin’ you would come through
I was hopin’ you would come through, it’s true, it’s true
Only threw this party for you
I only threw this party for you, for you, for you
I’m about to party on you
Watch me, watch me party on you, yeah
You could watch me pull up on your body
Like it’s summer, take my clothes off in the water
Splash around and get you blessed like holy water
I don’t know what you were waiting for
You know that I’ve been waiting for you
(I only threw this party for you)
Yeah, if you saw my tears, would you touch me?
Kiss me on the mouth, say you love me?
Leave a message, tell me you’re sorry?
Hit me right back, hit me right back
Why you treating me like someone that you never loved?
I only threw this party for you
Only threw this party for you, for you, for you
I was hopin’ you would come through
I was hopin’ you would come through, it’s true, it’s true
Only threw this party for you
I only threw this party for you, for you, for you
I’m about to party on you
Watch me, watch me party on you, yeah
I only threw this party for you
Only threw this party for you, for you, for you
I was hopin’ you would come through
I was hopin’ you would come through, it’s true, it’s true
Only threw this party for you
I only threw this party for you, for you, for you
I’m about to party on you
Watch me, watch me party on you, yeah
Party on you, party on you
Party on-party on you, party on you
Party on-party on you, party on you
Party on-party on you, party on you
Party on-party on you, party on you
Party on-party on you, party on you
Party on-party on you, party on you
Party on-party on you, party on you
Party on-party on you, party on you
Party on-party on you, party on you
Party on-party on you, party on you
Party on-party on you, party on you
Come to my party (party on-party on you, party on you)
(Party on-party on you, party on you)
Come to my party (party on-party on you, party on you)
(Party on-party on you, party on you)
All I’m thinking, all I know is (party on-party on you, party on you)
That I hope you knock on my door (party on-party on you, party on you)
Nervous energy (party on-party on you, party on you)
My heart rate rises higher, higher up (party on-party on you, party on you)
I wish you’d get here, kiss my face (party on-party on you, party on you)
Instead you’re somewhere far away (party on-party on you, party on you)
My nervous energy will stay (party on-party on you, party on you)
I hope you realize one day, uh (party on-party on you, party on you)
Come to my party (party on-party on you, party on you)
(Party on-party on you, party on you)
Come to my party (party on-party on you, party on you)
(Party on-party on you, party on you)
(Party on-party on you, party on you)
(Party on-party on you, party on you)
(Party on-party on you, party on you)
(Party on-party on you, party on you)

About "Party 4 U"

Song Meaning

“Party 4 U” is a song that sounds fun and emotional at the same time. The title makes it seem like it’s about a fun party, but the truth is, it’s about heartbreak and hoping for love. Charli made this “party” just for one person — not for fun, not for the crowd — but because she loves them and wants them to care. Sadly, that person might not feel the same way.

Feelings in the Song:

Desperate for love: When she sings “I only threw this party for you,” she’s really saying, “I just want you to notice me.”
Feeling alone in a crowd: Even with people around, she still feels lonely because the only person she wants isn’t there.
Mix of love and sadness: Lines like “take my clothes off in the water / get you blessed like holy water” show how she gives everything to this person — her body and feelings — hoping they’ll care back.

Fans call it “obsessed,” “deep,” “emotional,” and even compare it to The Great Gatsby, where someone throws big parties just to see one person. Charli is doing the same thing — giving her all for love.

Song Background

It’s a sad love song about doing everything for someone you love… even if they don’t show up. It’s beautiful, emotional, and full of feeling.

Interpretation

This song can be seen as a metaphor for unreturned love. The “party” isn’t just about dancing or fun — it represents all the effort someone puts into a relationship that may never be appreciated.

When Charli says she threw a party “for you,” she’s not just talking about a real party — she’s saying, “I did all of this for you. I changed myself. I gave everything. And still, you didn’t come.”
