"Introducing Me" was a song recorded by Nick Jonas for the Camp Rock 2: The Final Jam soundtrack.

Background and composition

In 2009, Nick Jonas recorded the song for the Camp Rock 2: The Final Jam soundtrack.[2] His character Nate performs the song to Dana (actress Chloe Bridges) who plays Nick's love interest in Camp Rock 2.[3] The song was released in the UK in August 2010.[4]

"Introducing Me" was also released on the karaoke video game during that year.[5]

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]
