Critical reception
Mike Diver of BBC described the song's chorus as "mindless – that it's practically a playground chant, designed to fit some variation on hopscotch or a hand-clap game practised by pigtailed pupils."[5] Melinda Newman of HitFix called the track "sprightly" and "rhythmic."[6] Gerhard Breda of Laboratório Pop called it "the true abyss" of the soundtrack, criticizing the track stating, "A mass of emo rock sound coated in pretension and followed by terrible pop recycled from the worst boy bands of the dawn of the 2000s."[7]
