"House Party" is a song recorded by South Korean boy band Super Junior for their tenth Korean studio album, The Renaissance (2021). The song was composed and arranged by Christian Fast, Didrik and Sebastian Thott, and Yoo Young-jin. It was released as the album's title track on March 16, 2021, by SM Entertainment, Label SJ, and Dreamus, following the revelation of multiple teaser posters in the preceding weeks. The lyrics were penned solely by Yoo, and heavily refer to social distancing rules implemented during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Upon its release, the song received positive reviews from critics for its pandemic theme, including from the director-general of the World Health Organization (WHO), Dr. Tedros Adhanom. It peaked at number 99 on the Billboard K-Pop Hot 100, and at number 21 on the World Digital Song Sales charts. An accompanying music video, directed by Kim Ja-kyeong, premiered the same day as the song's release. Two further music videos, directed by one of the band members, Shindong, were released on March 29, 2021, after the original visual was viewed over 10 million times on YouTube. Super Junior had performed the song on multiple events, including at the 2021 edition of The Fact Music Awards and at the SM Town Live 2022: SMCU Express at Kwangya concert.
