Background and composition

"Party In Your Bedroom" was written by brothers Alexander and Jean Paul Makhlouf and Samuel Frisch while production was also handled by the group and S*A*M and Sluggo. When the song started to get spun at the Angels & Kings club in New York City, the track garnered a lot of buzz and attracted the interest of several record labels.[3] According to singer Jean Paul Makhlouf, the song started off as a "random joke." He stated, "We recorded it one night and sent it to all our friends. They thought it was awesome, so we started to send it to labels and people in the music business."[4] The song peaked at number one on AOL Radio.[5] The track was featured on Warped Tour's Free Sampler, released via iTunes.[6]
