"Since U Been Gone" was performed by Ester Dean and Skylar Astin in the 2012 musical comedy film, "Pitch Perfect". Lanford Beard of "Entertainment Weekly" noted that the song was used during the audition sequences in the film, writing "Set to Kelly Clarkson’s "Since U Been Gone," it arranged the singers in a clever a cappella tapestry that simultaneously landed laughs and showed off their talents." Christy Lemire of "The Boston Globe" was positive of the song's incorporation in the film during the audition process due to its beautiful editing which makes "it feels like a fresh take on the tried-and-true, bad-first-date montage." The song was used in twelfth season of Brazilian soap opera "Malhação". The song was also used in the first season of "Supergirl."
