The song was also included in performances of High School Musical: The Concert,^[1] and its live album (2007).^[2] The song expresses frustration at the social hierarchy known as cliques for not allowing individuals from different cliques to interact or share interests, therefore the characters' verses challenge the Status quo while the song's chorus defends it.
