Shake It Off

American singer-songwriter Taylor Swift's song is titled Shake It Off. Swift and the film's producers Max Martin and Shellback collaborated on the writing. The production of the upbeat dance-pop song "Shake It Off" includes a saxophone melody. Swift's disregard for her critics and their unfavorable perceptions of her are discussed in the song's lyrics. From her fifth studio album, 1989, which Swift touted as her first pop album, the song served as the album's lead single. Big Machine Records made it available for digital download across the globe on August 19, 2014.

The dance-pop production of the song won many modern critics, but some thought the words lacked substance. In retrospect, reviewers have deemed Swift's 1989 period, which changed her sound and image from country to pop, to have begun effectively with Shake It Off. The song was included in NME and Consequence's decade-end lists for 2010. The song gained a Diamond certification from the Recording Industry Association of America after charting for 50 weeks on the Billboard Hot 100 in the United States, including four weeks at the top (RIAA). Additionally, Shake It Off reached number one on the charts in Poland, Hungary, Australia, Canada, Mexico, and Hungary.
