Need some tunes to go with your Biden-Harris victory celebration? Join a huge chunk of the nation in jamming out to Miley Cyrus’ 2009 pre-Bangerz hit, “Party in the U.S.A.”
On Saturday, the poppy jam — imagined in a time before the Trump administration was even a thing — began charting again nearly a decade afters its release. Cyrus shared a video on social media shortly after the presidential election was called, showing President-elect Joe Biden seemingly playing “Party in the U.S.A.” into his microphone at a campaign event.
The clip didn’t really happen; it’s a popular meme based on something that did actually happen with the song “Despacito” back in September. Still, it was enough to fan the flames of a country already raging out to Cyrus’ aughts classic.
Videos posted from numerous Miley Cyrus fan accounts show celebrators across the country singing and dancing to “Party in the U.S.A.” while celebrating the Biden-Harris win.

Do yourself a favor and sing-a-long at least once. It feels… really, really good.
