"Parking Lot Party" is song co-written and recorded by American country music artist Lee Brice. It was released in May 2013 as the fourth single from his 2012 album Hard 2 Love.

Content

The song is an up-tempo about a male partying with his friends before a concert. The album version of the song contains an introduction from syndicated radio show hosts Big D and Bubba.

Critical reception

Billy Dukes of Taste of Country gave it 2.5 stars out of 5, saying that "'Parking Lot Party' is a good (but not great) party song, a subgenre that rarely gets top ratings anyway. Phony crowd effects only obfuscate a simple song, and this jam would be better without that addition."[1] Giving it 4 out of 5 stars, Bobby Peacock of Roughstock said that " The production is loud, but in a rockin' kind of way that adds energy…and Brice's rough-edged vocal is full of charm."[2] Keepitcountrykids declared the song a disaster, citing the lyric "Ain't no party like the pre-party and after the party is the after party" as a lyrical atrocity. "The melody isn't catchy, and the chorus seems to stagger and stumble its way to the finish."[3]

Chart and certifications

The song has sold 519,000 copies in the US as of January 2014.[4] As of January 15, 2014, "Parking Lot Party" is Brice's fourth consecutive single, and his fifth total, to be certified Gold or higher by the RIAA.[5]
