Abstract: Let

m a t h b b P

denote the set of primes and

m a t h c a l N s u b s e t m a t h b b N

be a set with arbitrary weights attached to its elements. Set

m a t h f r a k p_{m a t h c a l N} (n)

to be the restricted partition function which counts partitions of

n

with all its parts lying in

m a t h c a l N

. By employing a suitable variation of the Hardy-Littlewood circle method we provide the asymptotic formula of

m a t h f r a k p_{m a t h c a l N} (n)

for the set of semiprimes

m a t h c a l N = p_{1} p_{2} : p_{1}, p_{2} i n m a t h b b P

in different set-ups (counting factors, repeating the count of factors, and different factors). In order to deal with the minor arc, we investigate a double Weyl sum over prime products and find its corresponding bound thereby extending some of the results of Vinogradov on partitions. We also describe a methodology to find the asymptotic partition

m a t h f r a k p_{m a t h c a l N} (n)

for general weighted sets

m a t h c a l N

by assigning different strategies for the major, non-principal major, and minor arcs. Our result is contextualized alongside other recent results in partition asymptotics.
