According to the sheet music published at Musicnotes.com by Alfred Publishing, the song is written in the key of A major and is set in time signature of common time with a tempo of 100 beats per minute.[1]
Pat Blashill of Rolling Stone referred to "Mobile" as a "completely inescapable hit". He noted that "Lavigne wails over crashing waves of acoustic and electric guitars, her big voice occasionally turns sideways in a drawl, a casual hint that she may actually be, of all things, a fine country singer in the making".[2]
"Mobile" was released as a radio-only single Australia and as an airplay and physical single in New Zealand; the physical copy included "Complicated" and two previously unreleased b-side tracks, namely "Let Go" and "All You Will Never Know"[3] (which are also featured in Avril's promotional album Let Go: B-Sides, a demo compilation published in 2001, the year before the release of her debut studio album Let Go). The song debuted at number 36 on the New Zealand Singles Chart for the issue dated May 11, 2003. It spent a total of 11 weeks on the chart, peaking at number 26 for the issue dated June 8, 2003.[4]
A music video was filmed for the song in December 2002, although it was shelved for unknown reasons. In January 2011, the music video leaked online.[5]
