Obsessed with the catchy iPhone 17 commercial song? Discover “Party at My House” by the Icelandic trio Inspector Spacetime and the story behind the latest Apple ad hit.
The latest iPhone 17 commercial is a true explosion of energy—a kaleidoscope of group selfie ideas involving friends, shared passions, colleagues, and all kinds of pets. It is a clever ad that demonstrates how iPhone technology can automatically include everyone in the frame.
As always happens, the song used in the latest iPhone 17 Pro commercial has already become a bit of a cult classic. It’s a youthful track that makes you want to move your head instantly. With a very European, well-crafted electro-pop sound, many people are unfamiliar with the artists. Which is a shame, because it is worth knowing more about these three “wild ones” who are winning everyone over through the world of advertising.
Here is everything you need to know.
“Party at My House” by Inspector Spacetime: The iPhone 17 Pro commercial song
The infectious track radiating joy in the latest iPhone commercial is titled “Party at My House,” and the authors are an Icelandic trio named Inspector Spacetime. You can listen to the full version below.
Inspector Spacetime consists of three young musicians from Reykjavik: Egill Spegill, Vala, and Steinunn. Born in the vibrant Icelandic electronic scene, they have made a name for themselves through their ability to blend 90s dance music with quirky, independent pop. Among their influences, they cite Daft Punk as well as 80s synth-pop, and their live sets often echo the fast-paced rhythms of 90s raves (watch them here in a 2024 live performance).
For many, it is a surprise to hear music so close to French House emerging from the heart of the Nordic countries. However, electronic music enthusiasts know well that Northern Europe has always birthed high-quality electronic acts: names like Röyksopp, Trentemøller, Robyn, Lindstrøm, WhoMadeWho, GusGus, and Todd Terje have made the world dance with their futuristic visions. Inspector Spacetime fits perfectly into this creative context that has always experimented with the latest dance trends.
Their sound is minimalist, playful, and deeply “cool”—characteristics that make them the perfect partner for Apple’s marketing. The choice by the Cupertino giant is no coincidence: for years, the tech colossus has used music to position its devices not just as technological tools, but as true fashion accessories. We recently saw this with a new jungle song used for their recent Apple Watch commercial.
By choosing a relatively underground group, Apple confirms its role as a tastemaker capable of launching emerging artists into the global mainstream.
An electropop party
The track “Party at My House” is an anthem to simplicity and spontaneous connection. With a rhythmic beat and clean synthesizers, the song evokes the idea of a low-pressure house party—an intimate and fun moment among friends. This is exactly what the Apple commercial aims to convey, showing us a series of groups intent on taking selfies in various situations.
“Party at My House” represents a new phase for Inspector Spacetime, who have recently begun producing songs in English to better penetrate the international scene. Their first album, Inspector Spacetime, was released in 2021 and featured only songs in Icelandic, but the group has been releasing English singles for a few years now. “Party at My House” was released in 2025, while their latest song, “People in the Video,” came out just days after the iPhone commercial.
The song feels familiar and innovative at the same time. While many brands rely on established hits, Apple often prefers the path of discovery. For Inspector Spacetime, this showcase represents a turning point, taking their Icelandic electronic pop from the small rooms of Reykjavik to the ears of millions.
For some time, Apple has presented its products as small windows sharing youthful energy and immediate social connection; thus, such a catchy electro-pop song perfectly reflects the iPhone style captured in the commercial. The track has already become a viral phenomenon on streaming platforms, confirming once again that music is the universal language through which technology speaks to our emotions.
