Top 10 Camp Rock Songs
Anyone else in the mood for some nostalgia? We're counting down Top 10 Camp Rock Songs! For this list, we're taking a look at the memorable songs from both Camp Rock films that made us dance and sing. Although the soundtracks are filled with amazing bonus songs, they will not be featured on our list.
We've included songs like “This is Me”, “Too Cool,” Wouldn't Change a Thing”, “This is Our Song” and more!
#10: "Hasta La Vista"
"Camp Rock" (2008)
When Tess's group falls apart right before the Final Jam, an unexpected team is formed as Ella is invited on stage to perform one of the most upbeat songs in the Camp Rock series. The hidden stars of the camp join forces, delivering both a bumping hip-pop jam and an exciting dance number filled with break-dancing and trampolines. You can’t help but move your feet along and wish you were on stage jumping with them. Although it did not end up winning the Final Jam, this fun performance sparked loud cheers from the crowd and the panel of judges, AKA the Jonas Brothers.
#9: "It's On"
"Camp Rock 2: The Final Jam" (2010)
If this sing off proves anything, it’s that Camp Rock won't back down. The entire cast comes together on Camp Star grounds as their rivalry creates this catchy tune. Camp Rock challenges Camp Star at the Camp Wars, and as the song says, the competition is on. With its guitar solos, dance battles, and Nick Jonas’ drumming skills, it is no surprise that Disney also used the song as the soundtrack’s second single prior to the release of “Camp Rock 2”. The music video also features the entire cast and, just like in the film, showcases an upbeat music and dance battle between the members of the rival camps.
#8: "Who Will I Be"
"Camp Rock" (2008)
It‘s the song that started it all and introduced the world to one of the biggest stars today. “Who Will I be” has an upbeat sound, works great as an anthem about finding yourself, and lays out what Camp Rock is basically all about. Although Mitchie pretended to be the daughter of a celebrity parent to fit in with the rest of the camp, this song helps her realize that the only person she should try to be is her true self. Demi Lovato’s powerful voice really helps the song’s positive message soar, and it is guaranteed to pump you up!
#7: "Play My Music"
"Camp Rock" (2008)
As one of the only songs performed by the Jonas Brothers in the films, this catchy rock tune had the crowd and the viewers tapping their feet and singing along. After they make a surprise appearance at the camp, everyone becomes super excited: turns out, the Jonas Brothers can make anyone swoon. The talented group gives us a song about loving music, and everyone can't help but join them in their hand clapping and hip shaking. There is no doubt that we loved hearing them “play their music”.
#6: "This Is Our Song"
"Camp Rock 2: The Final Jam" (2010)
What better way to end the Camp Rock sequel than around a bonfire, with some guitars and the film's entire cast? After losing to Camp Star at the Camp Wars, Camp Rock decides to come together for one last time to perform this heartfelt song in a bittersweet moment of the campers’ final night. However, when Camp Star members unexpectedly start showing up asking to join in, this song proves more hopeful than it set out to be. By coming together, they realize that they were the true winners after all.
#5: "Introducing Me"
"Camp Rock 2: The Final Jam" (2010)
You've probably tried singing this song as fast as Nick. This love song to Dana, the daughter of the head of Camp Star, is meant to win her heart. Given only two minutes to sing the song, Nick quickly gives a list of quirky qualities that describe him, including his attempt to grow a mustache, and his love for the word "dude". Before Dana leaves, he manages to win her over, and us as well. Fun fact: Nick Jonas tried singing the song as fast as he could during concerts, and managed to once sing it in under two-minutes.
#4: "Can't Back Down"
"Camp Rock 2: The Final Jam" (2010)
As the first Camp Rock 2 single released on the Disney Channel, this power anthem proves that Camp Rock will not go down without a fight. Mitchie manages to persuade her camp members that they cannot give up through catchy lyrics and cool choreography that motivates everyone to come together to ensure the camp's survival. They then go to Camp Star to challenge them to the Camp Wars. As usual, Mitchie manages to save the day by bringing everyone together with the power of music.
#3: "We Rock"
"Camp Rock" (2008)
It was a tough summer for Camp Rock, especially after things went spiraling out of control after Mitchie's lie, but they still managed to all come together at the end for the last song of the Final Jam. “We Rock” gives the entire cast gets their shining moment on stage as they all find their voice as a group. The song shows that you shouldn’t let anything stop you from having fun and being yourself, and once again reminds the viewers of one simple fact: Camp Rock rocks!
#2: "Wouldn't Change a Thing"
"Camp Rock 2: The Final Jam" (2010)
The rivalry between Camp Rock and Camp Star weighs heavily on Mitchie and Shane's relationship, as he accuses her of being too hung up on the competition. After a disagreement, they part ways, making the viewers wonder if their love will come to end. However, this song proves that despite being total opposites, they are still meant for each other, as their voices blend together in perfect harmony. Even if they still don’t reconcile until later, “Wouldn’t Change a Thing” comforts viewers with the fact that their disagreement won’t last long.
Before we get to our top pick, here are a few honorable mentions:
"Too Cool"
"Camp Rock" (2008)
"What We Came Here For"
"Camp Rock 2: The Final Jam" (2010)
"Here I Am"
"Camp Rock" (2008)
#1: "This Is Me"
"Camp Rock" (2008)
The chorus of this song is first heard at the beginning of the film, and it sends Shane on a camp-wide search for the girl who sings it. Mitchie finally comes out of her shell at the Final Jam to perform the powerful song in its entirety and show off her incredible voice. No one is more surprised than Shane, and he joins her on stage to simultaneously sing "Gotta Find You", a song he wrote about her earlier in the summer. The songs mesh together just like Mitchie and Shane's voices, and make for an incredible ending to the Final Jam.
