"She's In Parties" came out on Beggars Banquet in April 1983 on 7-inch and 12-inch, and it turned out to be the last single Bauhaus ever put out commercially. An extended version appeared on the 12-inch and on their fourth album, Burning From the Inside. Written by the whole band, Peter Murphy, Daniel Ash, David J and Kevin Haskins, it's gothic rock with a dub-heavy, echoing heart, all creeping low end and ghostly atmosphere, cold as a Hollywood nightmare.
It reached number 26 in the UK. Howard Guard directed the video, with Gail Lawson as its model. The song kept a long afterlife, too, covered by artists from Kerli to A Forest of Stars.
