    Put your hands up, they’re playing her song — a billion times and counting. Miley Cyrus ‘ smash “Party in the U.S.A.” has surpassed the nine-zeros mark on YouTube, marking her second music video to reach the milestone.

    Uploaded in September 2009, the Chris Applebaum-directed video finds the then-16-year-old pop star, well, partying in the U.S.A. Joined by a litany of backup dancers, Cyrus sports cowboy boots, and belts out her famous tune in a crowded drive-in movie lot, in front of a huge American flag banner and on a swing set structure, all of it culminating in one final patriotic concert at the end.

    “So I put my hands up/ They’re playin’ my song, the butterflies fly away,” she sings on the Dr. Luke-produced banger. “I’m noddin’ my head like, yeah/ Movin’ my hips like, yeah.”

    Released as the lead single of Cyrus’ 2009 EP The Time of our Lives , “Party in the U.S.A.” remains one of the Grammy winner’s biggest hits to date, debuting at No. 2 on the Billboard Hot 100. It marked the beginning of the star’s transition away from the family-friendly persona she cultivated on Hannah Montana — a pivot she would later cement with 2010’s Can’t Be Tamed and 2013’s Bangerz — and goes down in pop-culture fame as the song Cyrus sang during her controversial “pole dance” performance at the ’09 VMAs.

    Speaking of Bangerz , Cyrus’ only other visual to reach a billion views so far is 2013’s “Wrecking Ball.”
