Song information
The song includes vocals by Jassy. In a MTV interview in March 2007, Tisdale said the song would be album's third single. Tisdale said that the song is about how people:
 * "...often see the glamorous side of this career. ...It's really saying it's not like that and I'm just the girl next door. There's always somebody who either loves you or hates you, and you just have to have a thick skin" said Tisdale in an interview by MTV.com

Critical reception
Jamie Ross of Arizona Daily Wildcat said:
 * Tisdale hits the right note with the out-of-this-world song "Not Like That." The up-tempo number features clap-along beats, white girl rhymes and lyrics every girl who has ever been to a club can relate to: "All the girls in the club got their eyes on me/I can tell by their look that they want to be/Hot, hot, hot like that/But it's not, not, no, it's not like that."

Salim Khan of The Nation said:
 * A unique songs which lets Tisdale's talent shine. Not as good as He Said She Said but still vey likable.

Music video
The music video was leaked on October 2, 2007. It is the second part of the There's Something About Ashley DVD. The music video intro features Tisdale's sister Jennifer Tisdale. The video was directed by Scott Speer. The music video starts with Tisdale to read a magazine that a friend gives her. The magazines cover story is about Tisdale. We see her in her room singing, at work—filming a commercial—and in a magazine. Josh Henderson, Scott Speer, and Jared Murillo make cameos in the video.
