Life of the Party by Shawn Mendes Song Info
"Life of the Party" is the debut single recorded by Canadian singer Shawn Mendes from his extended play The Shawn Mendes EP and debut studio album Handwritten (2015). It was recorded in Toronto, Ontario and released on June 26, 2014. The title of the song, "Life of the Party", may give the impression that it's an upbeat dance song, but in an interview, Mendes described the song as not "super happy, but it's also not depressing". The lyrics represent being happy with yourself and figuring out who you are and who you want to be. It was written by two writers from New York, Ido Zmishlany and Scott Harris, though Mendes felt a strong connection to it.
