Stylistically, the song follows a verse-chorus pattern typical in pop music, with Kesha adding traditional singing in the latter and the discordant enunciation and stresses of vowels to force assonance and rhyme that epitomize her rap technique in the former.

The song peaked at number twenty-seven on the Billboard Hot 100, becoming Kesha's first solo single to miss the top ten.

In Australia, the song obtained moderate success, gaining a Platinum certification with digital sales brimming 70,000 units.

[3] Registered on the Broadcast Music Incorporated database on October 13, 2012, under the legal title "C Mon", the song was released as the second single from Kesha's second studio album, Warrior.

[11] Billboard gave a positive review of the song, comparing it to Robyn's "Call Your Girlfriend", as well as Kesha's previous hit "Your Love Is My Drug".

[12] Fuse gave the track a positive review, stating that fans of the un-Auto-Tuned "Die Young" would find similar gems in "C'Mon".

[13] Mark Hogan blogging for Spin wrote that although Kesha's hedonistic persona in "C'Mon" was marketable, it remained an ordinary electropop song better suited for label-mate Katy Perry, adding that Kesha's party-goer shtick present in previous hits "Tik Tok" and "Take It Off" was starting to become more of a caricature with the release of "C'Mon".

When Kesha quits her job and walks out the front door of "Awful House" in the video, other local businesses on Ellison Place can be seen, albeit out-of-focus.

[20][21] Wearing pink ribbons, a pink-checkered shirt, and "daisy duke" shorts, Kesha quits her job and jumps into a van called the "Dream Machine"[21] driven by someone in a cat costume.
