The single was released throughout the U.S., Europe, and Canada. It peaked at #103, barely missing the Billboard Hot 100. It also peaked at #66 on the Billboard Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Singles & Tracks chart, #90 in the United Kingdom^[1], #82 in the Netherlands and #42 in New Zealand. The B-side of the single was the album track "Does It Really Matter".

"You're Gonna Get Rocked!" is the third of four songs by La Toya Jackson to have an accompanying music video. It was also one of the last singles by Jackson to have a worldwide release. A huge promotion campaign followed in the fall of 1988, with Jackson performing the song live on many different TV shows worldwide.

The track samples James Brown's "Funky President". The Miami News reviewed the song as having a "heavy funk beat" that does "grind to a fierce rhythm track."^[2]
