Party Never Ends is the third studio album by Romanian singer Inna released on March 25, 2013. The album was again produced by Play & Win. Musically, the album is similar to her previous albums, but feature a more four-on-the-floor style of music, along with dance-pop and house music. The album did not perform as well on the music charts, especially due to it only being released in select countries. The album spawned seven singles, the most successful being "Tu şi eu", which peaked at number five on the Romanian Top 100. Two further singles released in the Party Never Ends era, "P.O.H.U.I." (featuring Carla's Dreams) and "Spre mare", later appeared on the Romanian Deluxe Edition of the album in October 2013. A deluxe edition called "Party Never Ends Part 2" was released later in Japan.

Release and promotion

The singer's first self-composition was titled "Caliente" (Spanish for Hot) which was produced along with Play & Win.[1] In the first half of 2012 she released lyric videos on her YouTube account for some more new songs titled "OK", "Alright", "Tu şi eu", "Crazy Sexy Wild" and "INNdiA".[2] They serve as promotional songs for her next studio album. After releasing a music video for "Caliente", the song debuted on the Romanian Top 100 at number ninety-three, becoming Inna's twelfth entry on the chart since she started her career in 2008. It performed poorly and only peaked at number eighty-four. However, the Romanian language song "Tu şi eu", which was released shortly after "Caliente", quickly became a radio success in her native country, debuting on the Romanian Top 100 without a music video release and reaching number eighteen. "Tu şi eu" peaked at number five. Her Play & Win collaboration "INNdiA" became her thirteenth chart entry on the Romanian Top 100, debuting at number ninety-three on August 5, 2012. It fell off the chart on the following week, but re-entered on August 26, 2012 at number eighty-four. The song reached number ten on the chart, becoming her ninth top ten single in her native country. Later that month, another music video was released for a song titled "J'Adore" (which translates to "I Adore", from French).

Composition

The album, genre-wise, is oriented towards electronic dance music, also encompassing dance-pop and synthpop tunes. Lyrically, the songs speak about relationships, partying, and love.

Singles

"Caliente" was written by Inna and produced by Play & Win. "Tu şi eu" and "Crazy Sexy Wild" are the English and the Romanian versions of the second single, co-written by GoodWill & MGI and Kimberly Cole. "Tu şi eu" became an overwhelming radio hit in Romania, distinctly outperforming its predecessor "Caliente" on the Romanian Top 100. Its top ten entry made Inna the most successful Romanian female artist in Romanian Top 100 chart history.

"INNdiA" was the third single release, and had vocals by Play & Win. "More than Friends" was the first international single that was released from the album, and it was released in January 18, 2013, with its accompanying music video. The single is co-written and co-produced by Danish writer and producer Thomas Troelsen and Dutch producer Tearce "Kizzo" Keaz. "Be My Lover" was the second international single from the album. The music video for the song was released on July 11, 2013. "In Your Eyes" was the third and final international single from Party Never Ends.
