The retweet sparked Gaskarth to share a bit of a fun fact behind the track’s title and how it was almost named “Party Song.”
“True story: we were gonna call it ‘Party Song’ and then Jack reminded me that blink already had a song by that name, so it became ‘A Party Song’ (since it would never be the definitive Party Song, just one of several.)”

The fun fact opened an entirely new wave of “Party Song” replies from fans.
‘Luckily this song is called party song’ just wouldn’t have the same ring to it
