(context)
XとYという二人のアーティストの会話（まさにあるセッションの開始部分なので、これより前の会話内容は不明）。
Xは傍目にはお祭騒ぎにしか見えないような作品を手がけるパフォーマー。

X: I get asked sometimes they say
“So, for you life is it’s just a party? Right ?”
and I say
Well. No. You know,

Y: 5%.

X: 5% exactly, and I and I do,
there is a soul behind my work beyond party life.

5%とは厳密には何を指して言っているのでしょうか。
5%の何？

Japanese translation:（人生の）5%

Explanation:
前の文章で、「あなたの人生はパーティーみたいなものでしょう（あるいはパーティーばかりでしょう）、と良く聞かれるけど、いや、そうじゃないと答えるんだ」と言っているので、その続きで考えると、「人生の５％はパーティーだけど、残りは違う」ということなんじゃないでしょうか。
