Critical reception

[edit]

The song received positive reviews upon its release and has been widely recognized as one of Pink's signature songs.[1][2] Keri Callahan of The Boston Globe selected "Get the Party Started" as an example of Pink experimenting with a variety of genres on Missundaztood, thus demonstrating her versatility.[3] Entertainment Weekly writer Jim Farber highlighted the song's "tricky synth hook of a perfect new-wave hit from the '80s".[4] Jason Thompson of PopMatters considered that the song's production did not fit into the contemporary dance music style, comparing it with early 1990s alternative rock music.[5] He furthermore noted that the song "echoes the good time vibe that other hits like Deee-Lite's 'Groove Is In The Heart' had that successfully won over many fans".[5] While reviewing Missundaztood, Stephen Thomas Erlewine of AllMusic deemed it a "glitzy dancefloor anthem".[6] Jacqueline Hodges of BBC Music praised the song's "infectious sentiment and catchy rhythm",[7] and music writer Paul Lester lauded it as "the perfect album opener" and a "perennial dancefloor-filler".[8]

Several music critics drew comparisons to Can't Take Me Home. MTV News' Jennifer Schonborn felt that the song served as a transition between Can't Take Me Home and Missundaztood, maintaining "the familiar dance feel but bidding farewell to the R&B sound".[9] In her review of the album, Caroline Sullivan from The Guardian wrote that Pink embodies the "more familiar party-girl" on the track.[10] Writing for Billboard, Rashaun Hall described the song as a "dance-friendly" number that resembles Pink's debut album more.[11] On a similar note, Jason Genegabus of Honolulu Star-Bulletin remarked that "Get the Party Started" maintains "the same upbeat, take-no-prisoners attitude" present on Can't Take Me Home.[12] In a different perspective, Chuck Taylor of Billboard called the song a "complete turnabout" from the sound of Pink's debut album and criticized its repetitive hook.[13] NME's Jim Alexander dismissed the song due to the "clod-hopping attention-seeking [...] that makes you assume you're listening to a Geri Halliwell record".[14]

Accolades

[edit]

In a 2019 list ranking every Pink single from worst to best, Glenn Rowley of Billboard placed "Get the Party Started" at number three.[15] He called it "an important pivot away from the urban sound" of Can't Take Me Home and emphasized that it "quickly became the quintessential party anthem of the early 2000s".[15] Digital Spy's Lewis Corner listed it as Pink's eighth-best song, asserting that it marked her sonic transition from R&B towards a rock-inspired musical direction.[2] Billboard ranked "Get the Party Started" 19th on their list of 2001's best songs, with Stephen Daw stating that Pink succeeded in reinventing herself and cementing her status as "a pop culture mainstay".[16] In The Village Voice's 2001 Pazz & Jop critics' poll, the song appeared at number five on the list, tied with Coldplay's "Yellow".[17] Rolling Stone included "Get the Party Started" in their list of the 100 best songs of the 2000s, ranking it number 81.[18] It won Best Song at the 2002 MTV Europe Music Awards[19] and Favorite Song at the 2002 Kids' Choice Awards.[20] The song earned a nomination for Choice Single at the 2002 Teen Choice Awards.[21] At the 45th Grammy Awards, "Get the Party Started" was nominated for Best Female Pop Vocal Performance but lost to Norah Jones' "Don't Know Why".[1]

Music video

[edit]

The accompanying music video for "Get the Party Started" was directed by Dave Meyers and filmed in Los Angeles from September 22 to 24, 2001.[51][52] As explained by Pink, it depicts getting ready for a night out in the club and what occurs on the way there.[51][53] The music video premiered on October 22, 2001 on MTV's Making the Video.[53] The video begins at Pink's house where a friend arrives to pick her up.[52] Pink is seen singing into a hair dryer, checking for unpleasant body odors, and putting on various clothes.[54] After finishing the preparations, the two drive in a car that eventually runs out of gas. Subsequently, they decide to jump out of the car and abandon it on the road.[52] Pink then steals two skateboards from two boys in the next scene.[54][55] Distracted by men luring her, Pink trips and falls off her skateboard.[52]

Pink and her friend are denied entry to the club when they arrive.[52] They climb to the top of the building on a scaffold and enter the club without paying through an open window.[55] Perry is seen at the party as a bartender. In the final scene, Pink performs a choreographed routine.[52] Sasha Frere-Jones of The New Yorker said the video "makes [Pink's] stylistic schism clear" and shows a "festive and vulnerable" side of Pink, while also noticing the lack of "choreographed dancers in futuristic pleather".[54] Writing for Popcrush, Jessica Sager described it as a "fun video" which "showed that getting ready to go out can be almost as -- if not more -- fun than actually going to a party".[56] At the 2002 MTV Video Music Awards, the music video received a nomination for "Best Pop Video" and won the awards for "Best Female Video" and "Best Dance Video".[57]
