00:05Welcome to Ms. Mojo, and today we're counting down our picks for the most unforgettable tracks from the Camp Rock
00:12movies.
00:21Number 20. Work in Progress, Camp Rock 3.
00:24With a new generation of campers ready to wow Connect 3 — ahem, the Jonas Brothers — with their musical
00:31chops,
00:31this latest installation in the franchise delivers lots of catchy tunes.
00:36Of course, there's the high-energy bop One Beat Away,
00:48which was teased in advance of the film's release and blew up on social media with its accompanying dance challenge.
00:55But the real takeaway from Camp Rock 3 is the emotional, climactic number from the final jam, which brings the
01:01whole ensemble together.
01:13Work in Progress is not only beautifully performed, but its inspiring message to be true to who you are is
01:19a wonderful reminder to listeners of all ages.
01:21Plus, it's Mitchie Torres approved.
01:24Hey, I guess we're just work in progress.
01:34Number 19. Our Time Is Here.
01:37Summer may be ending, but this number refuses to sound remotely sad.
01:41We're done, but it's not over.
01:45We'll start it again.
01:47After the end of the day, it keeps getting better.
01:52Added to the extended Rockstar edition, the garage performance lets the campers trade the rivalry driving the main story for
01:59one relaxed group jam.
02:01Demi Lovato leads the recording, with Meghan Martin and Aaron Doyle credited on background vocals.
02:07So its communal feel is baked into the track itself.
02:10Good of the days of summer, we couldn't change yet if we tried.
02:17Why would we want to, let's go where we got to, our paths will cross again in time.
02:23Songwriters and producers Antonina Armato and Tim James keep the arrangement bright and uncomplicated,
02:30favoring crisp guitars, a hand clap ready rhythm, and a chorus built for shouting with friends.
02:36Because it arrives as an extra rather than a major plot beat, the song plays like a cheerful curtain call.
02:43Small, sweet, and perfectly suited to one last summer sing-along.
02:47So come on, come on, you know, our time, our time is here.
02:57Camp can't last forever, but thankfully our pop culture coverage can.
03:02Scan the QR code on screen to join us live for non-stop pop culture fun.
03:07Number 18, tear it down.
03:19Camp's star enters the showdown determined to make an impression.
03:23Performed by Meghan Martin and Matthew M. Finley, the number gives Tess and Luke a chance to command the stage
03:30with a whole dance ensemble and plenty of attitude.
03:32Its hip-hop pulse and chant-heavy hook feel deliberately more aggressive than Camp Rock's earnest pop sound,
03:39making the musical rivalry instantly legible.
03:42Tear it out of the cloud, we'll take over the fire.
03:45End of the show, we're gonna leave you alive.
03:47When we're coming out, when we're coming out, we gon' tear it down.
03:53You can't stop us now.
03:54Better still, the singer's competitive chemistry adds a comic edge.
03:58Even after the performance, both insist it would have been stronger as a solo.
04:03Either way, its sharp beat, brash attitude and tightly staged spectacle make Camp star look like a genuine threat.
04:10The crowd, we hold it tonight.
04:14We're ready, we gon' tear it down.
04:21Number 17, start the party.
04:24Shane Gray's dance class gets an instant energy boost when Jordan Francis takes over the soundtrack.
04:38As the campers grab microphones and hats, Shane calls out formations and moves, turning the lesson into one of the
04:44film's most kinetic group sequences.
04:46Frances supplies the vocal charisma while Shane drives the action on screen.
04:51And the song's repeated commands keep the choreography moving.
05:04Written by Matthew Gerard and Robbie Neville, the track pairs a brisk dance pop beat with lyrics about celebrating, following
05:12the groove and making dreams real.
05:14It is hardly the soundtrack's deepest moment, but its sheer enthusiasm captures Camp Rock at its most playful.
05:21Everyone learning, moving and briefly forgetting the drama.
05:35Number 16, heart and soul.
05:38Connect 3 turns a basic rehearsal into a crash course in rock star confidence.
05:43Gather round, guys.
05:45It's time to start listening.
05:47Practice makes perfect, but perfect's not working.
05:51There's a lot more to music.
05:53The normal way your cue's gonna be.
05:55When Caitlyn points out that the lesson comes easily to them because they are already stars,
06:01Shane counters that the campers can get there too.
06:04And the trio launches into a rowdy demonstration.
06:06Joe, Kevin, and Nick Jonas perform together while the lyrics name check David Lee Roth, Bruce Springsteen, Nick Jagger, Axl
06:15Rose, and Christina Aguilera as models of stage presence.
06:18Making mistakes that won't matter if you get swagger like you're Mick Jagger.
06:25The references are knowingly oversized, but the message is refreshingly practical.
06:31Perfect notes matter less than conviction, movement, and feeling the beat.
06:35With its stomping rhythm, playful instructions, and brotherly chemistry, the number makes mentorship feel like a full-blown arena rock
06:43fantasy.
06:44If you've got heart and soul, you can rock your world.
06:51Number 15, Fire.
06:53Luke does not introduce himself so much as declare ownership of the stage.
06:58Nobody's gonna wanna get next to me.
07:01Cause they know.
07:03They know.
07:04I take the smile and won't let it go.
07:06Doesn't matter how you approach the scene.
07:09Matthew M. Finley performs the number during Campstar Showcase, immediately after Mitchie's softer, different summers, and just before Axl begins
07:18recruiting Camp Rock staff and campers.
07:20That placement makes its hip-hop production, echoed backing vocals, and beatboxing break feel like part performance, part sales pitch.
07:29Written by Dapo Toromiro and Lyrica Anderson, the track gives Luke exactly the persona he wants.
07:35Dominant, famous, and eager for a challenge.
07:51Finley commits fully to the character's towering self-belief, making the arrogance entertaining rather than irritating.
07:59Placed directly after Mitchie's number, the performance makes the two camps' contrasting musical styles immediately clear.
08:19Lola Scott claims the spotlight with confidence to spare.
08:22Introduced during Camp Rock's opening night jam, she turns a potential love interest checklist into a playful demand for respect
08:29and genuine effort.
08:30Everyone talks about what they think they need.
08:33They're making up a list of things, one, two, three.
08:35Everyone is different, but where we can't agree.
08:38Every girl wants a boy to treat her sweet.
08:40Erin Doyle's bright, agile vocals sell both the flirtation and the boundaries, while the repeated hook gives the number an
08:47instantly singable center.
08:48The track blends bouncy pop with a lightly theatrical delivery that suits Lola's showcase.
08:54I've been contemplating what it takes to make me give my heart.
09:01Could you be the one?
09:04Mitchie immediately calls her amazing, and Caitlyn notes that Lola's mother performs on Broadway.
09:09Lola may not dominate the movie, but this number gives her one of the soundtrack's most self-assured solo moments.
09:16Who's got what it takes to be my heart?
09:20What it takes to make me grow?
09:22What it takes to make this beat flow?
09:26Number 13, Too Cool.
09:28Tez Tyler turns a campfire into her personal runway before the chorus even arrives.
09:34Follow when I leave.
09:35Wanna be like me.
09:37Just wanna be.
09:39Love it, hate it.
09:41Introduced at the campfire jam, an event presented as a celebration of expression and freedom, the song reveals exactly how
09:49Tess sees herself.
09:50Naturally gifted, effortlessly stylish, and several social tiers above everyone else.
09:56Megan Martin delivers the boasts with crisp comic precision, never softening the character's vanity.
10:15The track uses a punchy electronic beat, chantable hook, and sharply posed choreography to make arrogance ridiculously catchy.
10:23Meanwhile, Mitchie's role as a backing singer quietly shows the price of joining Tess's group.
10:28The song is basically character exposition with a shoulder shimmy.
10:40Number 12, Here I Am.
10:43Peggy's quiet rebellion arrives with impeccable timing.
10:46They tell you a good girl is quiet.
10:50Now you should never ask why.
10:54Cause it only makes it harder to fit in.
10:59After walking away from Tess's group, she enters Final Jam as a last minute addition under her full name, Margaret
11:06Dupree.
11:06And delivers the performance that wins the competition.
11:10Jasmine Richards plays the moment on screen, while the soundtrack credits Renee Sandstrom's full-throated vocal and Jamie Houston's writing
11:17and production.
11:18The world better make some room.
11:21Yeah, move over, over.
11:25Cause you're coming through.
11:27The lyrics could hardly suit Peggy better, rejecting the idea that a good girl should stay silent or settle for
11:34applauding somebody else.
11:36Tess's surprised compliment and apology afterward complete the character payoff, but the victory belongs entirely to Peggy.
11:43For someone so often pushed into the background, she makes being heard sound exhilarating.
12:00Number 11, Gotta Find You.
12:03Romance and self-discovery meet in one earnest Disney chorus.
12:07You're the voice I hear inside my head, the reason that I'm singing, I need to find you, I gotta
12:17find you.
12:18When Mitchie hears Shane experimenting with a sound that differs from Connect 3's usual cookie-cutter pop star stuff,
12:24it prompts a conversation about the music his label expects him to make.
12:28Having already overheard her singing without seeing her, Shane performs Gotta Find You for Mitchie, unaware that hers is the
12:35voice he has been seeking.
12:36Where you are, is where I wanna be, oh, next to you, and you next to me.
12:48It's warm guitar line, yearning melody, and memorable hook make the search feel heartfelt.
12:54Only afterward does he explain that the mysterious singer reminded him of the music he liked, and inspired him to
12:59play around with some chords.
13:01The valet returns at final jam, when he recognizes her and joins This Is Me with lyrics from his song.
13:08You're the missing piece, I need this song inside of me, I need to find you, I gotta find you.
13:18Number 10, Hasta La Vista.
13:29When Tess's group falls apart right before the final jam, an unexpected team is formed as Ella is invited on
13:36stage to perform one of the most upbeat songs in the Camp Rock series.
13:47The hidden stars of the camp join forces, delivering both a bumping hip hop jam, and an exciting dance number
13:53filled with break dancing and trampolines.
13:56You can't help but move your feet along and wish you were on stage jumping with them.
14:09Although it did not end up winning the final jam, this fun performance sparked loud cheers from the crowd and
14:15the panel of judges, a.k.a. the Jonas Brothers.
14:18Number 9, It's On.
14:31If this sing-off proves anything, it's that Camp Rock won't back down.
14:36The entire cast comes together on Camp Star grounds as their rivalry creates this catchy tune.
14:41Camp Rock challenges Camp Star at the Camp Wars, and as the song says, the competition is on.
14:57It's On. It's On. It's On. It's On.
15:00With its guitar solos, dance battles, and Nick Jonas' drumming skills, it is no surprise that Disney also used the
15:07song as the soundtrack's second single prior to the release of Camp Rock 2.
15:10The music video also features the entire cast, and just like in the film, showcases an upbeat music and dance
15:17battle between the members of the rival camps.
15:20Show me, show me, show me, show me, show what you got. Come on, come on, come on, come on,
15:25ready and I.
15:25What have you got? La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, let me see how you vibe. It's on,
15:30it's on, it's on.
15:32Number 8, Who Will I Be?
15:42It's the song that started it all and introduced the world to one of the biggest stars today.
15:47Who Will I Be has an upbeat sound, works great as an anthem about finding yourself,
15:52and lays out what camp rock is basically all about.
16:07Although Mitchie pretended to be the daughter of a celebrity parent to fit in with the rest of the camp,
16:11this song helps her realize that the only person she should try to be is her true self.
16:16Demi Lovato's powerful voice really helps the song's positive message soar,
16:21and it is guaranteed to pump you up.
16:50As one of the only songs performed by the Jonas Brothers in the films,
16:55this catchy rock tune had the crowd and the viewers tapping their feet and singing along.
16:59After they make a surprise appearance at the camp,
17:02everyone becomes super excited.
17:04Turns out, the Jonas Brothers can make anyone swoon.
17:16The talented group gives us a song about loving music,
17:19and everyone can't help but join them in their hand clapping and hip shaking.
17:23There is no doubt that we loved hearing them play their music.
17:32Letting go, no, no, no, I just want to play my music all night long.
17:41Number 6, This Is Our Song.
17:44This is our song, that's all that matters,
17:48because we all belong right here together.
17:51There's nothing better than singing along.
17:54What better way to end the Camp Rock sequel than Around a Bonfire,
17:59with some guitars and the film's entire cast.
18:02After losing to Camp Star at the Camp Wars,
18:04Camp Rock decides to come together for one last time to perform this heartfelt song
18:09in a bittersweet moment of the camper's final night.
18:27However, when Camp Star members unexpectedly start showing up asking to join in,
18:32this song proves more hopeful than it set out to be.
18:35By coming together, they realize that they were the true winners after all.
18:39This is our song, that's all that matters,
18:42because we all belong right here together.
18:46There's nothing better than singing along.
18:50This is our song, that's all that matters,
18:52Number 5, Introducing Me.
19:04You've probably tried singing this song as fast as Nick.
19:07This love song to Dana, the daughter of the head of Camp Star,
19:11is meant to win her heart.
19:12Given only two minutes to sing the song,
19:14Nick quickly gives a list of quirky qualities that describe him,
19:18including his attempt to grow a mustache,
19:19and his love for the word dude.
19:21I never trusted a dog to watch my food,
19:25and I like to use the word dude as a noun,
19:28or an adverb, or an adjective,
19:30and I never really been into cars,
19:33I like really cool guitars and superheroes.
19:36Before Dana leaves, he manages to win her over,
19:40and us as well.
19:41Fun fact, Nick Jonas tried singing the song as fast as he could during concerts,
19:46and managed to once sing it in under two minutes.
19:48Well, you're bruising,
19:51at times confusing,
19:53hopefully amusing,
19:56introducing me,
19:57doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo.
19:59Number 4, Can't Back Down.
20:02With every big decision,
20:04comes an equally important share of the risk,
20:07we gotta take this.
20:09As the first Camp Rock 2 single released on the Disney Channel,
20:13this power anthem proves that Camp Rock will not go down without a fight.
20:16Mitchie manages to persuade her camp members that they cannot give up
20:20through catchy lyrics and cool choreography
20:22that motivates everyone to come together to ensure the camp's survival.
20:34They then go to Camp Star to challenge them to the camp wars.
20:38As usual, Mitchie manages to save the day
20:40by bringing everyone together with the power of music.
20:43We can't back down.
20:45There's too much you say.
20:48Don't walk away.
20:50Don't walk away.
20:52We can't back down.
20:53Number 3, We Rock.
20:55All that you need is a music
20:59to take you to some other place
21:04where you know you'll be young.
21:09It was a tough summer for Camp Rock,
21:11especially after things went spiraling out of control after Mitchie's Lie.
21:15But they still managed to all come together at the end
21:17for the last song of the final jam.
21:31We Rock gives the entire cast their shining moment on stage
21:35as they all find their voice as a group.
21:37The song shows that you shouldn't let anything stop you from having fun
21:41and being yourself.
21:42And once again reminds the viewers of one simple fact.
21:46Camp Rock rocks.
21:47No way in the world's gonna bring us down
21:50The matter we go, well, the better we stay
21:54We rock, we rock, we rock, we rock, we rock, we rock
21:58Number 2, Wouldn't Change a Thing
22:01We're Venus and Mars
22:03We're Venus and Mars
22:04We're like different stars
22:05We're like different stars
22:07But you're the one we need to every song I sing
22:12The rivalry between Camp Rock and Camp Star weighs heavily on Mitchie and Shane's relationship
22:16as he accuses her of being too hung up on the competition.
22:20After a disagreement, they part ways, making the viewers wonder if their love will come to an end.
22:26However, this song proves that despite being total opposites,
22:29they are still meant for each other, as their voices blend together in perfect harmony.
22:33You, me, we're face to face, but we don't see eye to eye
22:38Like fire and rain
22:40Just fight and rain
22:42You can join me and stay
22:43You can love me and stay
22:45But I can't stay mad at you for anything
22:49Even if they still don't reconcile until later,
22:53Wouldn't Change a Thing comforts viewers with the fact that their disagreement won't last long.
22:57So there's harmony through every song I sing
23:03And I wouldn't change a thing
23:11Number 1, This Is Me
23:13The chorus of this song is first heard at the beginning of the film,
23:17and it sends Shane on a camp-wide search for the girl who sings it.
23:20This is real, this is me
23:23I'm excited where I'm supposed to be
23:32Michy finally comes out of her shell at the final jam
23:34to perform the powerful song in its entirety
23:37and show off her incredible voice.
23:40This is real, this is me
23:42I'm exactly where I'm supposed to be
23:45Now, gonna let the light shine on me
23:50No one is more surprised than Shane
23:52and he joins her on stage to simultaneously sing Gotta Find You,
23:56a song he wrote about her earlier in the summer
23:59You're the voice I hear inside my head
24:03The reason that I'm singing
24:05I need to find you
24:06I gotta find you
24:09The songs mesh together just like Michy and Shane's voices
24:13and make for an incredible ending to the final jam
