===Critical reception===
Heather Phares of Allmusic liked the song and called it a "spunky, new-wavey girl power anthem".
===Chart performance===
As not released as a single in the United States, "I Got Nerve" received exclusive airplay on Radio Disney, thus its chart appearances consisted mainly of digital downloads. Following the release of the Hannah Montana soundtrack, the song entered Billboard's Hot Digital Songs Chart at number thirty-one, which led to an appearance on the Billboard Hot 100 on the week ending November 11, 2006.
"I Got Nerve" debuted on the Billboard Hot 100 at its peak of sixty-seven, thus becoming Cyrus as Montana's highest charting song from the album, and one of the songs to make Cyrus the first act to have six songs debut on the Billboard Hot 100 in the same week. It dropped from the chart in the succeeding week. The song also peaked at number fifty-one on the now-defunct Pop 100 Chart.
==Music videos and Live Performances==
Three different live performances have been prominently used for promotional music videos. Cyrus as Montana debuted the song at Walt Disney World's Typhoon Lagoon on June 23, 2006. The video was aired on Disney Channel, along with performances of "The Best of Both Worlds", "This is the Life" and "If We Were a Movie". Another live performance from Radio Disney's 10th Birthday Concert was also used as a music video on Disney Channel.

==Lyrics==
We haven't met, and that's okay
Cause you will be asking for me one day.
Don't wanna wait in line,
The moment is mine believe me.
Don't close your eyes
Cause it's a chance we're taking
And I think that I can shake it
I know where I stand
I know who I am
I will never run away when life gets bad, it's
Everything I see
Every part of me
Gonna get what I deserve,
I got nerve.
Electrified, I'm on a wire.
Getting together and we're on fire.
What I said, you heard!
Now I got you spinning
Don't close, your mind
The words I use are open
And I think that I can show you
I know where I stand, I know who I am
I will never run away when life gets bad, it's
Everything I see, every part of me
Gonna get what I deserve
I got nerve.
Not afraid...
