Chris Urankar from InStyle magazine described the song as a "summery, radio-ready anthem", while Take 40 Australia called it "an awesome party anthem!." A writer from MusicFix complimented "Pop a Bottle (Fill Me Up)" as a "fun weekend jam" and predicted the song to be another hit for Mauboy. Mike Wass from Idolator wrote that the track "feels like an even better fit" for Mauboy than her previous single "To the End of the Earth". Shayne of Flopstar Reviews described "Pop a Bottle (Fill Me Up)" as "a bland but pleasant jam" and felt that it was reminiscent of One Direction and Katy Perry's pop rock style. He also noted that the song's lyrics are not about sex "as the title suggests" and that it is "actually about how some guy is super nice" to Mauboy "and it makes her happy". "Pop a Bottle (Fill Me Up)" was nominated for "World's Best Song" at the 2014 World Music Awards. The song debuted and peaked at number two on the ARIA Singles Chart dated 7 October 2013, and became Mauboy's sixth top-ten single. That same week, "Pop A Bottle (Fill Me Up)" debuted and peaked at number 33 on the New Zealand Singles Chart, becoming Mauboy's highest-charting single in New Zealand. ==Music video==

Background and synopsis The music video was directed by Megan Brown and filmed in various locations around Wollongong, including Bald Hill, North Gong Beach and Sea Cliff Bridge, in August 2013. A one-minute teaser of the video was posted on YouTube on 18 September 2013, featuring scenes of Mauboy at an outdoor party. The official video clip was uploaded to Mauboy's Vevo account on 25 September 2013. The video begins with Mauboy in her dressing room getting ready for a photo shoot, but she decides to leave after receiving a phone call from her girlfriends. As the song begins, Mauboy is seen in her apartment putting clothes in a bag and then at a sidewalk near the beach waiting for her friends to pick her up. When they arrive, she gets into the backseat of the car and continues singing. Mauboy and her friends are then seen on a hill dancing and taking pictures. As the video changes to nighttime, they arrive at an outdoor party and Mauboy continues singing and dancing. Chris Urankar from InStyle magazine noted that in the video, she is "in amped-up party mode." Shayne of Flopstar Reviews felt that the video featured "the blandest white people party of all time" with scenes "of white people at a picnic getting turnt on soda pop and waving their arms to pop/rock." ==Live performances==
