Gore, born in Queens and raised in New Jersey, would soon be known as "The Teen Queen" among the press when she released her debut single. At the time, she was taking vocal lessons when she and her teacher decided to record some piano demos, which caught Jones' interest.
“I liked it because she sang in tune, and she had a nice sound, a very identifiable sound,” Jones said in an interview with NPR . “That was the first pop record I made, was Lesley Gore, ‘It’s My Party.’”
Lyrics for "It's My Party" tell the story of a young girl having her 16th birthday and realizing her boyfriend has disappeared. She later finds him holding hands with another girl and "wearing his ring." The real inspiration isn't as dramatic, but does involve Gottlieb having thrown a 16th birthday party for his daughter in Brooklyn in 1963. Judy had received some news that soured her special day.
Judy would then respond to her father with what would become the infamous line for the track, "It’s my party, and I’ll cry if I want to."
Schroeder decided not to tell Jones what was occurring until Jones learned the truth after running into Spector at Carnegie Hall just a day after Gore recorded her version. Without telling Spector, Jones skipped the concert, ran to burn hundreds of copies of their track, and handed them out to the top radio stations. "It's My Party" was rush-released, climbed the charts, and the Crystals never recorded it.
