Critical reception

Scott Shelter of PopCrush stated, "Hot Chelle Rae have created a tell-off tune for anyone whose young love doesn't work out as planned. Though some elements of the track, like the 'Hey!' and 'Oh!' chants during the chorus, feel a little too by-the-numbers, the song's infectious nature makes it a solid follow-up to recent hits 'Tonight Tonight' and 'I Like It Like That'."[2]

Music video

The music video for the song was released on March 23, 2012 and featuring actress Ashley Benson from Pretty Little Liars.[3]
