Background and conception
The single was written by Amy Heidemann, Nick Noonan, Heather Bright, Kelly Sheehan and Andrew Harr and Jermaine Jackson. The single was also produced by The Runners. The song is described as an "anthem for the people who want that one person in their lives to know that they're not always the center of attention as cited by the chorus' lyrics "You think you're the star of the show/But I'm about to let you know". The song had moderate success, charting at #36 on the Billboard Pop Songs chart. The duo felt it was perfect choice for a first single by how they were introduced to the business through the fans, that they were "crashing the [music] industry's party".
"Crash Your Party" begins with a sample from the song "The Choice Is Yours (Revisited)" (1991) by alternative hip hop duo Black Sheep. The sampled material is a seven-note motif played on double bass by jazz musician Ron Carter, and the motif was likewise used as the opening notes of "The Choice Is Yours". The Carter audio was itself was sampled by Black Sheep from the 1975 recording of "Impressions" on pianist McCoy Tyner's album Trident (the motif first appears on the Tyner recording at 3:03 in the track). Because "Impressions" was composed by John Coltrane (though Coltrane did not compose the bass motif played by Carter in 1975), Coltrane is listed as a composer of "Crash Your Party".
