MTV UK, Derulo commented on the "Show Me Love" sample: "I'm in love with that bassline, it's just really hypnotic and I just wanted to play around with it in the studio. I heard it a bunch of times in the club and I fell in love with it, like most people do."[10] Meena Rupani from DesiHits noted that the song borrows lyrics from Lil Wayne,[11] while Shahryar Rizvi from Dallas Observer noted that its pre-chorus line "from the window / to the wall" comes from Lil Jon's 2003 single "Get Low".[12]

Critical reception

"Don't Wanna Go Home" received mixed reviews from music critics. Bill Lamb from

About.com awarded "Don't Wanna Go Home" a rating of four stars out of five, praising the song's "ingratiating party mood" and Derulo's "energetic vocal performance".[9] He also went on to say that "Jason Derulo should have no problem taking back his place on pop radio playlists and pulling the Beluga Heights sound back into the spotlight."[9] Scott Shelter from PopCrush wrote that, "Despite the track's lack of originality, the beat is irresistible, and its lyrics about staying out all night are likely to resonate with summer partiers," and concluded by writing that it is "a song that succeeds in spite of its shortcomings."[13] A writer for Beatweek magazine praised Derulo for sampling "Day-O" into the song's chorus, writing that "'Don't Wanna Go Home' is yet the latest evidence that Derulo can create a song in any genre, using any kind of samples, and turn it into a hit."[14]

Robbie Daw from

Idolator wrote that, "Compared to his last few mediocre offerings, this single actually seems to have some fire" courtesy of the samples in the song. However, Daw concluded by writing that "if Derulo wants to achieve any kind of credibility in the pop world, he'd better establish his own sound fast."[5] Meena Rupani from DesiHits felt that Derulo "should think twice before he takes his lyrics from others."[11] Shahryar Rizvi from Dallas Observer called Derulo a "lousy sampler", writing that "all this song boasts is Derulo throwing airballs".[12] At the 2011 Teen Choice Awards, "Don't Wanna Go Home" was nominated for 'Choice R&B/Hip Hop Track' accolade.[15]

The accompanying

The video opens in an industrial warehouse, and shows Derulo reclining on a couch while his friends are passed out beside, around and on top of him. As he sings a portion of the song's chorus, Derulo reminisces about the previous night. The scene then shifts to Thornton, who is still awake standing on the other side of the warehouse surrounded by smoke. Derulo then stands up and walks towards her while performing solo dance moves. During the chorus, the two begin to do sexual dance routines together and eventually everyone wakes up. Derulo can then be seen doing various choreographed routines with male and female back-up dancers, as the crowd surrounding them hold up

Kesha, Jennifer Lopez or Britney Spears, and described it as being "glossy and fun, a complete reflection of the tune's party-anthem vibe."[38]
