Background

"This Is Me" is the first song that Lovato's character, Mitchie Torres, sang in Camp Rock with Jonas's character, Shane Gray. Mitchie wrote the song in the beginning of the film, and was later heard (in an acoustic version on piano), but not seen, by Shane, who set out to search for the girl behind the amazing voice. After most people performed already in the "Final Jam" session, Mitchie sang the song (original version) and Shane saw her and sang part of the song he wrote, "Gotta Find You". The two songs are combined to make the original version, as featured on the Camp Rock soundtrack CD.

Lovato also recorded a Spanish version of the acoustic version of the song titled "Lo Que Soy", released on the deluxe edition of Don't Forget and as a video featuring her singing the song while playing the piano.

Lovato performed the song for the first time with the Jonas Brothers, at the 2008 Disney Channel Games in May 2008. Lovato also performed with Beaker from The Muppets in Studio DC: Almost Live.

Chart performance

The song debuted at No. 11 on the Billboard Hot 100, and eventually peaked at No. 9.
