"Don't Stop the Party" is a song recorded by American rapper Pitbull for his seventh studio album, Global Warming. The song features TJR and includes samples of the song "Funky Kingston" by Toots and the Maytals replayed by Mark Summers at Scorccio Sample Replays. It was released on September 26, 2012, as the album's third single by RCA Records.

The song was written by Pitbull, TJR, José García, Jorge Gomez Martinez, Warwick Lyn, and Frederick Hibbert, and it was produced by Rozdilsky under his stage name TJR, with additional production by Scottish house producer Chris Lake. Rozdilsky had previously written the song as "Funky Vodka", which caught Pitbull's attention. It has peaked at number 17 on the US Billboard Hot 100.

Background and composition

[edit]

The song was originally titled "Funky Vodka" as written by TJR. It was played heavily at the Miami Winter Music Conference and caught the attention of Pitbull, who asked TJR to work with him for it to be a single from Global Warming.[1]

Speaking about the viral success of the track, TJR has stated: "Funky Vodka is probably the track I'm most proud of. It was pretty cool to see an old school sample-based house tune make it to the overall number one spot on Beatport."[1] "Funky Vodka" itself is based around the Jamaican reggae classic "Funky Kingston" (1973) by Toots and the Maytals. The sample replay of "Funky Kingston" was produced by Mark Summers at Scorccio Sample Replays.[2] "Don't Stop the Party" is a hip house song, which has a running time of three minutes and twenty-six seconds (3:26) and an upbeat tempo of 127 beats per minute.[3] The single version was written by TJR, Pitbull, Bigram Zayas, and Frederick "Toots" Hibbert.[4] Marc Kinchen, TJR and DJ Buddha served as producers.[4]
