Critical reception

In November 2010, singer Jason Mraz admitted in an interview that the Camp Rock 2 tune "Introducing Me" sounded a lot like his song "I'm Yours". [6] He also said: "I heard the song, and it was just a tremendous, tremendous horror of a tune. I noticed a few similarities in the melody, but it wasn't enough to pick up the phone and argue with somebody about it. If anything, I just wanted my $1.29 back that I spent on iTunes". [7]
