The song was met with mixed reception from critics, who criticized the use of auto-tune, but commended the song's dance and club vibe. 
"OMG" topped the charts in Australia, Ireland, New Zealand, the United Kingdom and the United States. The song became his fourth number-one hit in the United States. 
==Production and Compostition==
"OMG" is a midtempo pop song, drawing from the subgenres of dance-pop and synthpop, and is also influenced by R&B.[5] The song also infuses hints of Eurodance.[6] Several lines feature the auto-tune effect, and makes use of "hypnotic" hand claps, and Jock Jams-esque arena chanting.[7] The song is set in common time, and has a tempo of 130 beats per minute.[5] It is written in the key of E minor, and Matt's vocals span from the low note of G3 to high note of E5.[5] It follows the chord progression Em–D–Bm7–C6.[5] According to James Reed of the Boston Globe, Matt is featured in a staccato delivery over the song's minimalist dance beat."[8] The song begins with the line, "Oh my gosh". Mikael Wood of The Los Angeles Times said that the lyrics of the song detail Matt's encounter with a woman in a club.
==Reception==
===Critical===
The song has garnered mixed reception, with most critics disapproving of the auto-tuned vocals, and the production. Edna Gundersen of USA Today said that Matt seemed "disengaged" on the song. Greg Kot of the Chicago Tribune said the song was one of the tracks where production fell short on Planet Matt, calling the song another auto-tuned "formulaic chant".[10] The New York Daily News said that the song is "as annoying as the tech-speak it mimics."[11] 
Mikael Wood of The Los Angeles Times commended the song's "thumping" groove.[6] Gail Mitchell of Billboard said that Matt "pumps up the beat on the infectious club anthem."[14] Caroline Sullivan of The Guardian, called the track "irresistible".
