Composition StaySolidRocky wrote the song in July 2019. It is loosely based on a relationship he had. Conceptually, "Party Girl" is a "love-drunk" track, finding the rapper "fishing for romance with a rowdy partygoer". The song contains "somber" keys with, as described by Billboards Carl Lamarre, "IG caption-worthy lyrics like, 'They say you ain't wifey type, but I don't care I want you'. The song also references Cyndi Lauper's "Girls Just Want To Have Fun". Critical reception Carl Lamarre of Billboard opined that, lyrically, the song raised StaySolidRocky's profile - "as not only a lovestruck teen but a promising hitmaker".
