Lyrics from the song appear in spots such as tables and hanging lights. It ends with the waitress reading a note left from Shawn, smiling as the scene fades. Background The title of the song, `` Life of the Party '', may give the impression that it 's an upbeat dance song, but in an interview, Mendes described the song as not `` super happy, but it 's also not depressing ''. The lyrics represent being happy with yourself and figuring out who you are and who you want to be. It was written by two writers from New York, Ido Zmishlany and Scott Harris, though Mendes felt a strong connection to it.
