Just the sound of it alone, and how she ends her choruses with "I am the Party Queen," with a tone of voice that makes it sound as though she's smiling, I really feel as though she is making fun of herself. The lyrics and the tone of the song seriously makes it feel as though she is pointing out how "cool" she is but with a sarcastic, almost humiliated way.

I especially felt this way when the song ended with laughter. As if people just cracked up laughing at her.
Yeah, I've noticed that since the first listen. They are laughing at her, not with her.

And I like how the arrangement of the song is "empty", it feels like all the fun and beautiful things she describes during the song are futile or false. A vacuum.
