The Party Won’t Stop is a side quest in Control Resonant where Dylan steps up to an Altered karaoke machine and must sing along without missing a word. Each choice matters because a wrong lyric kills one of the dancing partygoers on the spot. Finishing the song with everyone alive unlocks the “Be What You Want to Be” trophy, which is missable if you slip up even once.

Quick answer: Always pick the lyric that rhymes with the last word the machine sings. The nine correct choices in order are Gasoline, Stress, So fleeting, Too long, Move, Fear, Everything, Higher and higher, and Shout.

All correct karaoke lyrics and inputs

The song opens with a single option, then quickly ramps up to four words on screen with a short timer for each pick. The rule stays the same throughout: choose the word that rhymes with the machine’s final lyric. Below are the nine prompts in the exact order they appear, along with the directional input for each answer.

Song lineCorrect lyricInput
It’s burning hot like…GasolineRight
Only song and dance, no worries or…StressLeft
In this moment that is…So fleetingRight
A song that soon, before…Too longUp
If you didn’t know how to…MoveLeft
You let go of all pain and trouble and…FearDown
Bracing you for…EverythingRight
It lifts you up…Higher and higherUp
Dance and dream, scream and…ShoutRight

There is no room for a single mistake if the trophy is your goal. Any wrong word ends a partygoer’s life immediately, so watch the timer and commit to the rhyming choice.

How to reach the karaoke apartment in the West Incursion Zone

The quest sits in the western part of the West Incursion Zone, marked by a “Singing Reported?” tag on your map. When you arrive you will find an apartment building with music blaring inside and a body lying by the entrance. The front door is locked from within, so the only way in is through the roof. Unlocking either the Shift or Reach ability first makes the climb far easier.

Report the body next to the locked door to Zoe over the radio, then head to the road directly opposite the apartment building. Use Shift or Reach to reach the elevated road.
Follow the road until a construction site appears on your right. Enter it and take a right, avoiding the enemies inside.
Jump, activate Elevate, and make your way onto the apartment rooftop. If you choose, tell Zoe about the additional bodies found there; afterward, take the blue doors downstairs.
Descend a few flights of stairs and look for a doorway on your left lit by a purple neon glow. That apartment holds the Altered karaoke machine and the dancing crowd.

Rewards and how to confirm the trophy

Completing the sing-along hands you the Untapped Bar Blade artifact and the Varsity Jacket cosmetic regardless of how many partygoers survive. Those rewards drop once the song ends.

You know the run counted only if everyone stays alive. Keep every dancer safe by picking all nine correct lyrics, and the “Be What You Want to Be” trophy will ping shortly after the final word. If a partygoer died during the song, the trophy will not unlock, and you will need to replay the quest to earn it.
