On January 28, 2007, the song appeared on the iTunes Top 100 Songs at #89, despite being only released for Radio Disney.On March 17th, the single debuted on the Brazilian charts at #76.Its success is most likely attributed to the premiere of the video on the Disney Channel.

The song will be sent to pop radio in early March 2007. As of March 27, the song has been added to (New York's #1 hit music station) Z100's playlist at # 30. [2]

Ashley used the same dancers from her concert for High School Musical, to shoot this video. According to one of the concert dancers, Jared Murillo's Blog, They filmed the video on December 27th at Greensboro, N.C."Before the show, we filmed Ashley's music video for Be Good To Me. Today was the day I did my first music video and it was really cool. I always wanted to be in a music video because of MTV's music videos and wondered if I would ever be in one. The Music Video starts with the crowd goin' crazy, the she dance with the dancers, all the time, and performs her song just like the lyric is." A new official version of the Be Good to Me music video will be shot due to the fact that it has replaced 'He Said, She Said' as the first official single from Headstrong.
