"[4] Back-up vocals for "She Did It" were provided by Bruce Johnston and Brian Wilson of the Beach Boys, whose 1968 hit "Do It Again" is credited by Carmen with being the initial inspiration for the song because of the 'did-its'.

Two other songs penned and recorded by Carmen, "That's Rock 'n' Roll" and "Hey Deanie", but made into hits by Shaun Cassidy, charted concurrently with "She Did It" in late 1977, reaching numbers three and seven, respectively.

[12] One of the songs blocking it from entering the Top 10 was Carmen's own composition, "That's Rock 'n' Roll," a number-one hit in Canada.

[14] Chicago radio superstation WLS, which gave the song much airplay, ranked "She Did It" as the 56th most popular hit of 1977.

[16] Other cities where the song was played heavily include Los Angeles, Sacramento, San Jose, Las Vegas, Oklahoma City and Dallas in the west,[17][18] and Boston, Philadelphia, Richmond, Charlotte, Atlanta and New Orleans in the east,[19] in addition to Ohio, Carmen's home base.

[24] While not charting nationally in Australia, the song did become a Top 40 hit (#23) in the Sydney area on radio station 2SM.

"[6] Classic Rock History critic Brian Kachejian rated it to be Carmen's 10th greatest solo song.
