Here for the Party is the debut studio album by American country music singer Gretchen Wilson.

Upon its release, Here for the Party received positive reviews from music critics with Wilson being compared to country artist Loretta Lynn.

The lead and Wilson's debut single "Redneck Woman" became a massive success, spending five weeks atop the US Hot Country Songs chart.

After some persistence, she agreed and joined the MuzikMafia, an informal group of Nashville singers and songwriters that gathered weekly to play songs.

Wilson signed with Epic Records in 2003 and went in the studio with producers Mark Wright and Joe Scaife and Rich as co-producer.
