"Party Starter" is a song by American rapper Will Smith.

It was released as the second single from his fourth studio album, Lost and Found.

It was written by Smith, American rapper Ludacris and record producer Polow da Don, the latter of whom also produced the song.

"Party Starter" was Smith's final single before his 12-year recording hiatus.

The hook and 1st verse describe a club environment, while the 2nd and 3rd verses criticize the commercial "dumbing down" of the current-day hip hop slaps innate of the song itself.
