Critical reception

[10] Toor also complimented Bieber's "now-trademark silky-smooth voice." [10] Monica Herrera of Billboard said that Smith's rapping skills could rival those of his former-rapper father. [13] E! Online said "And while some might insist that "Parents Just Don't Understand," we think Big Willy would totally be down with Jaden's rap." Maria-Mercedes Lara of Celebuzz said, "don't make assumptions with the suspiciously nepotistic circumstances surrounding Jaden's appearance on Bieber's song: the kid is actually really good." [14] Lara also commented that Bieber "should be watching his back for Jaden's rising star." [14] Tiger Beat said that they loved the song, and said it had a "great beat." [15]

Promotion

The accompanying clip for the single was directed by Honey. [13] [25] The music video takes place in a studio, and contains a heroic concept, featuring Bieber and Smith singing the song and playing around, intercut with scenes from the film. [26] Bieber appears in a motorcycle jacket and high tops. [27] Studio scenes include Bieber flexing karate moves, he and Smith dancing, jerkin', and eating Twizzlers. [27] The scenes also show the two shadowboxing, as footage from the film shows Smith performing an "array of fight moves." [28] Near the end of the clip features Bieber giving a roundhouse kick. [29]

The music video was posted at 22:11 UTC on May 27, 2010, [30] and released to the public four days later. [31]

The actual 'film' within the music video is directly taken from the footage of Karate Kid, which was shot entirely in Beijing and features Jackie Chan as "Mr. Han," a mentor figure who trains Smith throughout the film. [32] The scenes include Smith looking at the CCTV Headquarters building, a shot of the Beijing street scene, an Air China Boeing 747-400 taking off and landing, and a training scene at the Great Wall of China.

[12] [26] Kyle Anderson of MTV News commended Bieber's latest "attention-grabbing video," and jokingly stated, "As a video that features fighting, it's a pretty strong entry, and it joins the list of great fight-centric videos below." [28] An Idolator writer said that they were impressed with Smith's moves, and Bieber's "spinning roundhouse." [11] A writer for Tiger Beat said, "The video is SO cute–we love when Justin and Jaden get silly at the end!" [15]

Bieber performed the song on June 4, 2011, on the Today Show as part of a medley with "Baby", "Somebody to Love", and "One Time". [33] The song is a part of his setlist during the My World Tour. Smith joined Bieber for the song on the August 31, 2010 date, along with Usher, Miley Cyrus, Ludacris, and Boyz II Men, to film scenes for his upcoming 3D concert film. [34]

To promote his remix album, My Worlds Acoustic as well as draw interest for the upcoming film, Bieber shot a music video for the song. [35] The video premiered during Game 3 of the 2010 World Series. In the video, Bieber stands on a baseball diamond and dons apparel from both teams in the Series, wearing a San Francisco Giants hat and Texas Rangers jacket [35] Scenes in which Bieber sings on the diamond is intercut with players hitting the ball and hanging in the dugout, as well as Bieber playing a guitar.
