The song achieved its highest peak in Ireland, where it reached number thirty on the Irish Singles Chart.

The song was used to promote Lovato's Disney Channel sitcom Sonny with a Chance and its music video features appearances from her co-stars.

In 2023, it was re-recorded for her first remix album, Revamped; it featured American musician Nita Strauss.

[3] The song also features Devin Bronson, who provided a guitar solo, and Dorian Crozier, who played the drums.

[5] A CD single was released on June 1, 2009, with a recorded live version of the Camp Rock song "This Is Me" from Jonas Brothers: The 3D Concert Experience.

"[11][12] Ed Masley of The Arizona Republic compared the track's theme to Miley Cyrus' "Party in the U.S.A.", and the guitars present in the song to works by English punk rock band The Clash.

"[13] According to Lovato, her Sonny with a Chance co-stars play "stereotypical Hollywood Los Angeles ... big type of people.

Online praised the video, writing, "Mocking Hollywood phonies is always cool by us, and bonus points to Demi Lovato for doing it while rocking out in admirable form.

The video begins with Lovato being interviewed on a talk show called Rumor Has It with Benny Beverly (Brochu).

In Hollywood, Lovato walks past a "Be-seen section," and bumps into a stranger on the street, which a paparazzo (Knight) takes a picture of.

The video then cuts back to Rumor Has It with applause from the audience and ends with Beverly praising Lovato.

"[20] On April 25, 2009, Lovato performed the song on the final episode of singing competition My Camp Rock (UK), where she also presented the award to the winner, Holly Hull.

[24] Lovato also performed the song during her set at the Jonas Brothers Live in Concert World Tour 2010.

[25] Scott Mervis of Pittsburgh Post-Gazette wrote that Lovato performed a "high-energy, high-volume" version of the song.

[29] Fraser McAlpine of BBC Music wrote a positive review of the song and rated it four out of five stars.

[30] He wrote, "So, essentially doing a song like this is rocky ground, but the good news is that Demi generally comes across as the kind of bright, scrappy, girl-next-door type, so it doesn't sound quite so preposterous when she insists that she's still quite normal, really.

... Of course, the only thing she has to worry about now is that having made this very public declaration, if she slips up for a second, we'll all be watching..."[30] Judy Coleman of The Boston Globe said that Lovato shows "her Gen-Y stripes", and "forcibly rhymes 'everything's the same' with 'the La-La land machine' – pronounced, of course,' ma-SHAYN'.
