Background

"Party on Fifth Ave." features a sample of the main loop from DJ Mark the 45 King's 1987 song "The 900 Number". The same loop was used by DJ Kool for his single "Let Me Clear My Throat" in 1996.[1] The original source of the loop is Marva Whitney's 1967 funky soul track "Unwind Yourself."

The song's music video features Mac Miller and his crew dressed as elderly men, complete with mobility scooters and canes. The video was directed by Ian Wolfson.
