"Party for Two" is a song by Canadian country singer-songwriter Shania Twain, recorded for her 2004 Greatest Hits compilation album.
Initially not planning alternate versions, a pop remix featuring rock band Sugar Ray lead singer Mark McGrath was also recorded as well.
It would peak at number seven on the US Billboard Hot Country Songs chart, becoming Twain's 16th and most recent top-ten single but only the second for Currington.
Internationally it proved to be more successful, hitting top-ten in countries such as Austria, Twain's native Canada, and the United Kingdom.
She wanted to record someone completely opposite of her and so, Mercury Nashville president Luke Lewis introduced her to Billy Currington, then an up-and-coming singer.
[5] Currington described the experience of recording the song as "once in a lifetime" and that "both Twain and Mutt [Lange] made me feel at home.
According to the sheet music published at Musicnotes.com, "Party for Two" is written in the key of B major with a tempo of 122 beats per minute.
[5] Stephen Thomas Erlewine of AllMusic, in his review for Greatest Hits, called the song "gleefully goofy.
"[9] Country Universe rated the Currington version a B+, praising the "laid-back smolder" of his vocals while also liking Twain's "flirty, playful performance" of the verses.
The video shows Twain walking around town handing out invitations to movers, a waiter, and an artist to help her get ready for her "party for two" later that night.
[14] "Party for Two" debuted on the US Billboard Hot Country Songs the week of September 18, 2004, at number 39.
Twain first performed the country version of "Party for Two" on Good Morning America with Currington on November 5, 2004.
