Songwriter and producer Jason Evigan told MTV News that the song was `` Demi - fied '' in response, though still contains an `` R&B feel '', explaining : `` ( Now ) it 's got like a country vibe mixed with this R&B feel, which makes it kind of pop country thing. '' Lovato reacted to the track instantly, and made a few changes to it. Lyrically, Made In The USA is inspired by `` American romantic love stories '' in the 1930s. Upon the album 's release, Billboard stated the song was `` the right comparison of bubblegum fun and Lovato 's overpowering pipes '' and compared the track to the song `` Party in the U.S.A. '' by fellow former - Disney Channel star Miley Cyrus. Billboard also described the song as `` an up - tempo, red - white - and - blue - tinged celebration of everlasting love '' and stated that the song contained a `` wistful guitar lick and some fierce romanting statements ''.

Critical reception `` Made in the USA '' received generally positive reviews from music critics. Billboard reacted positively to the song, praising it as a `` grown - up version '' of `` Party in the U.S.A. '' by Miley Cyrus, noting its opening line which contains a reference to Chevrolet, describing it as `` unusual '' and `` coy ''. Female First gave a generally positive review, saying that the song was not the best on the album but that it was `` fun '' and `` upbeat '' and praised its reference to Chevrolet as well as its `` positive shout - outs '' to America 's coasts. Pop Spoken described the song as `` slightly lackluster ''. iMedia Monkey also offered a mixed reaction, complimenting the song 's `` perfect balance of radio friendly choruses and interesting instrumentation '' ; however, they stated that the song was not `` ground - breaking '' and was generally `` more of the same ''. Stephen Thomas Erlewine of AllMusic criticized the song for `` copying '' Cyrus ' song. Regarding the appearance of the song 's video, MTV Style 's Chrissy Mahlmeister noted that Lovato is getting in the `` patriotic spirit '', sporting an `` all American '' look which included a `` crocheted white dress with a brown belt, denim jacket ''.
