The album version of the song was used in the Disney Channel Original Movie Minutemen, and can also be heard playing during High School Musical 3: Senior Year.

UMusic describes the song: "Like Whoa" starts with soft cooing and transitions into a high energy danceable chorus.

"[4] Todd Sterling, from Wal-Mart, praises the song: ""Like Whoa," a penetrating, bass driven cut compares the sensation of falling in love with a rollercoaster ride.

The song, lathered in slippery keyboard effects and programmed drums, is a melodically layered chunk of pop candy.

[8] Disney Channel first aired the music video with footage of the original movie, Minutemen, on January 19, 2008 to promote the film.

As of February 27, 2008, the album version has logged over 558,084 digital downloads in the United States, reaching a peak position of number 63 on the Billboard Hot 100, enough to earn a Gold certification.
