"How We Do (Party)" is a song performed by British recording artist, Rita Ora from her debut studio album Ora. It was released as the lead single from the album in the United States, Canada, Australia and New Zealand on 20 March 2012. Upon its release, "How We Do (Party)" peaked inside the top-ten in Australia and New Zealand. It was released as the album's second single in Ireland on 10 August 2012 and in the United Kingdom on 12 August 2012, and reached number-one in both regions.

"How We Do (Party)" is a pop song. It was written by Victor Alexander, Kelly Sheehan and Bonnie McKee, and produced by The Runners and The Monarch. It was initially planned to be titled "Party and Bullshit" after the 1993 Notorious B.I.G. single from which this song borrows its refrain, but was later changed to "How We Do (Party)" in order to appeal to American radio programmers; additionally a radio edit changes the refrain to "Party and Party" for some versions of the song. Another radio edit that is commonly played changes the refrain to "Party and bull..." Ora described the song by saying it covers the feeling when you "wake up in the morning and want to take another whisky shot."

On 24 February 2012, Ora visited New York's Z100 radio station with her Roc Nation label boss, Jay-Z, to premiere the song. "How We Do (Party)" was released for digital download in the United States, Australia and New Zealand on 20 March 2012, as the lead single from Ora's debut album, Ora. It was later sent to contemporary hit radio and rhythmic contemporary radio playlists in the United States on 24 April 2012.

MTV Buzzworthy wrote that the song's composition is a "sugary sweet pop record [that] kind of reminds us a bit [of] Jessie J's 'Domino' and Katy Perry's 'Last Friday Night (T.G.I.F.)', but mixed with some dope".
