"Party for Two" is a song by Canadian country singer-songwriter Shania Twain, recorded for her 2004 Greatest Hits compilation album. Written by Twain and then-husband Robert John "Mutt" Lange and produced by Lange, it was originally conceived as a return to country for Twain and planned as a duet with Toby Keith. Due to scheduling conflicts, he was instead replaced with newcomer and label-mate Billy Currington. Initially not planning alternate versions, a pop remix featuring rock band Sugar Ray lead singer Mark McGrath was also recorded as well.

Released on September 7, 2004, it was received well by critics. Commercially, it was also successful. It would peak at number seven on the US Billboard Hot Country Songs chart, becoming Twain's 16th and most recent top-ten single but only the second for Currington. It was her last entry on the Billboard Hot 100 for the 2000's decade. Internationally it proved to be more successful, hitting top-ten in countries such as Austria, Twain's native Canada, and the United Kingdom. Remixes of the song were released for club play.[2] It was nominated at the 2005 CMAs for Musical Event of the Year.[3] As of 2023, "Party for Two" is certified Platinum by the RIAA for 1,000,000 certified units.[4]
