The following week, after the Shop Boyz had an official digital release of their single, 'Party Like a Rockstar' shot to number two while Freak Nasty dropped completely off the chart. In the Billboard issue dated May 26, 2007, the Shop Boyz were at number 54 on the Hot 100 due to heavy airplay while Freak Nasty was number 56 due to strong sales. This led to Freak Nasty's song, recorded in 2005, selling approximately 30,000 digital downloads even though his track was completely dissimilar. Confusion ensued, however, when a similarly titled song by hip hop artist Freak Nasty (who had his own hit a years earlier with Da' Dip) titled 'Do It Just Like a Rock Star', was erroneously listed in the American iTunes Store with the title 'Party Like a Rockstar'. 'Party Like a Rockstar' was a mid-charting hit in the United States as an airplay-only single. Cristal Athena Steverson from BET's Trapped in the Closet and Yo Gabba Gabba!, as well as LaLa Brown make cameo appearances in the video. It then progresses to show the group performing at a crowded concert, with intercut clips of an actual R&B playing and clips of the group performing in a hotel room reminiscent of Mariah Carey's hit song ' Don't Forget About Us', both of which were directed by Paul Hunter.

Lyrically the song makes references to prominent rock music figures such as Marilyn Manson, The Osbournes, Kiss, Queen, Bruce Springsteen, Red Hot Chili Peppers, and Travis Barker.

The rap rock song was produced by Jason “Pit” Pittman.
