American Songwriter 's Alex Hopper wrote:"The two pop heavyweights gave ['Stand by Me'] a sultry revamp. The throwback feel of the song is in line with Trainor's doo-wop-inspired sound". [8] In a negative review,Sydney Brasil of Exclaim! stated:"Best described as horny housewife music,the track has the typical crispy Top 40 vocal production [...] Not to mention how corny its Rated PG radio-friendly randiness is. 'She was,she was,she was,she was the girl next door,that's my fine ass neighbour,' Derulo sings,diminishing his own audience's intelligence by acting like we don't know what calling a woman "the girl next door" implies. I'll be asking someone else to water my plants while I'm away,thanks." [9]
The music video for "Hands on Me" was released on December 13,2023. Paris Hilton stars as a record label executive. In a meeting with her,Derulo tries to convince her about making country versions of classic songs,to which she replies:"Remakes are huge right now. Okay Jason,let's see it". In subsequent scenes,Derulo and Trainor perform several activities and adapt to living on a farm in a sitcom-like format. Derulo is attracted to his neighbour,and in one scene,vomits after she asks him to unclog her toilet. At the end,Hilton approves of the concept while using her catchphrases:"Loves it. That's hot".
