"Party for Two" was released in two versions: a pop version featuring Sugar Ray frontman Mark McGrath for international audiences and a country version featuring Billy Currington for North American country radio. Twain and her husband, Robert John "Mutt" Lange, wrote the song, with Lange handling production. 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. The chord progression contains open fifths: E5–B5–F♯5, and the vocals span from E₃ to G♯₄.^[4]

Music video

An accompanying music video for "Party for Two" 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.
