How the clue works
The definition is Early, meaning "in good time." The wordplay is built from two anagrams joined together. First, "on I go" is anagrammed (indicated by "to party") to give INGOO. Then "I'd met" is anagrammed (indicated by "deviant") to give DTIME. Put them together and you get IN GOOD TIME. The indicator "to party" is an unusual anagram signal — it's possible the whole thing is essentially one long anagram of "on I go I'd met" with "deviant" as the primary indicator.
