Expect to hear this song a lot over the next five years. It comes in from the edges slightly, but it does so in a way that doesn’t sacrifice personality or individuality. “House Party” is going to be Hunt’s biggest hit to date - possibly of his career.

“If you're gonna be a homebody / We're gonna have a house party / If you wanna be a homebody / We're gonna have a house party.” It's certainly not a song you'd turn down while taking Grandma to church on Sunday morning. “Throw a neon T-shirt over the lampshade / I'll take the furniture, slide it out of the way / Shaking the floor, rattling the roof / We'll go to town right there in your living room,” Hunt sings at the second verse. At it’s core it’s a party song, even though the lyrics tell the story of a steamy encounter between part-time lovers. If dissected, "House Party" is something of a Frankensong, but few will notice or care about its unconventional structure. “Let's have a house party, we don't need nobody / Turn your TV off, break that boombox out / We'll wake up all the neighbors til the whole block hates us / And the cops will show up and try to shut us down.”

That’s when this song really turns into a jam: He jumps to a different rhythm before the chorus. Like with his previous work, Hunt never stays in one place too long.

“ You're on the couch, blowing up my phone / You don't want to come out, but you don't want to be alone / It don't take but two to have a little soiree / You're in the mood to sit tight right where you are, babe,” he sings to begin “House Party," a song he wrote with producer and frequent co-writer Zach Crowell, plus Jerry Flowers.
