Shake It (2008 - Single)

"Shake It" is a song by Metro Station, released as the third single (and debut British single) from the group's 2007 self-titled debut studio album. The song impacted radio on April 1, 2008.

It is the band's first charting single, peaking at number ten on the Billboard Hot 100. Internationally, "Shake It" peaked within the top ten of the charts in Australia, Canada, the Republic of Ireland, the United Kingdom, Japan, Austria, Germany and New Zealand. The single was certified Gold by the RIAA on June 13, 2008 and later Platinum that year, until finally reaching 2× Platinum status at the end of January 2009.

Shake It has reached an iconic statement, the greatest hit the band ever had. It is a blessing an a curse according to the band, they are glad to have had it, but they wished people would be interested in the new stuff instead of everything they made while being 17.

Music Video
The music video for the song "Shake It" was inspired by fans who created their own versions of the video, 63 of which the band posted as a playlist on the band's YouTube account. The band has commented that the final product was based on the cult film The Warriors, with rival dance crews in place of gangs. The video features the four band members as they enter the Los Angeles Theatre. Once inside the theater, the band performs the song while various dancers compete against each other around the band members. Cameos are made by online celebrity Jeffree Star and vocalist/guitarist Trace Cyrus' ex-girlfriend Hanna Beth as audience members watching the dancers perform. The video ends with the police entering the theatre and forcing everyone out.
