"Shut Up and Dance" (stylized as "SHUT UP + DANCE") is a song by American pop rock band Walk the Moon from their third studio album Talking Is Hard (2014). [1] It was written by the band members and songwriters Ben Berger and Ryan McMahon. The song is based on an experience lead singer Nicholas Petricca had at a Los Angeles nightclub. His girlfriend invited him to dance, inspiring the title. Petricca envisioned the song as an anthem for letting go of frustration and having fun. The song was digitally released as the lead single from Talking Is Hard on September 10, 2014.

The song became the band's biggest hit single to date, peaking at number four on the Billboard Hot 100 and becoming a number-one hit on the magazine's Alternative Songs chart and the Hot Adult Contemporary chart. [2] Outside of the United States, "Shut Up and Dance" topped the charts in Poland, peaked within the top ten of the charts in Australia, Canada, Germany, Israel, the Republic of Ireland, and the United Kingdom, the top 20 of the charts in New Zealand and Sweden, and the top 30 of the charts in the Netherlands. The band has performed "Shut Up and Dance" on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon , Late Night with Seth Meyers , Jimmy Kimmel Live! , The Ellen DeGeneres Show and Good Morning America .

Background

The song originated between vocalist Nicholas Petricca and guitarist Eli Maiman, who first developed the verse and found something infectious about it. [3] The following weekend, Petricca went to a party named Funky Soul Saturday at The Echo in Echo Park, Los Angeles, while feeling frustrated with the writing process. [4] Petricca recalled, "We were at the bar, and it was taking forever to get a drink. I was frustrated because there was great music playing and I wanted to be out there." [5] His girlfriend, in "a backless dress and beat up red Chucks", abruptly invited him to dance with her, inspiring the song's title. [3] [6] Petricca later went home to work on the song and incorporated his experiences into the song's lyrics. After creating the song's main refrain, he began picturing himself in high school: an "incredibly uncomfortable, awkward adolescent dude"; he imagined the song as an "anthem for the dork who is 100 percent me". [3] In an interview with American Songwriter , he summarized the song's theme as: "Encouraging people to let go of whatever it is that’s bothering you and get into your body and out of your head." [3]

In terms of the song's music, Petricca highlighted three songs that were instrumental in its creation: "Just What I Needed" (1978) by The Cars, "Hit Me with Your Best Shot" (1980) by Pat Benatar, and "Jessie's Girl" (1981) by Rick Springfield, which he deemed "simple and beautiful and in-your-face rock songs" that captured the sound the band desired. The song is inspired by the music of the 1980s, which the group felt was a time in which "weird" was celebrated, in both music and fashion. [7] [8]

"Shut Up and Dance" premiered on the radio station 101 WKQX in Chicago on June 22, 2014. [9] It was released digitally as the lead single from Talking Is Hard on September 10, 2014. [10] On November 11, 2014, the song was made available in the United States as a free single on iTunes. [11]

"Shut Up and Dance" is a pop rock, [13] power pop, [14] synth rock, [15] and alternative rock song [19] that is driven by synthesizer and dance grooves. [13] It incorporates production that is reminiscent of the 1980s, with gated ambience added to the drums, sheeny synth pads, reversed snare 'whooshes', and stadium-sized reverb and delay effects. [20] Steve Baltin and Shirley Halperin of Billboard called the song a "new-wave throwback", [21] while Rolling Stone 's Brittany Spanos referred to it as "a Killers-style update on Eighties pop hits" such as "And We Danced" (1985) by the Hooters. [22] Mike Wass of Idolator saw the song as "tapping into a '80s rock sound" similar to the band Bleachers. [23]

The song is composed in common time and written in the key of D♭ major with a fast tempo of 128 beats per minute. [24] Ryan Reed of Billboard described Petricca's vocal performance as "flaunt[ing] his emotive yelp" over the track. [17] [24] The song makes use of jangling guitars, thunderous pounds, and retro synths that play over a grumbling disco bass. [16] [17] [23] It additionally includes an open and closed hi-hat pattern, handclaps, and a synth solo. [25] The intro is constructed by two guitar parts, with the first one "playing the arpeggio of the main riff", while the other "play[s] 16th notes on muted strings". According to Maiman, the combination of the two guitars resulted in a "'helicopter' sound", which "is thickened with a dotted eighth note delay set". [26] The main riff itself, also processed with digital delay, was seen as having been influenced by the Edge of U2. [27]

"Shut Up and Dance" is largely based on Petricca's experience that night at The Echo, containing specific lyrical references that refer back to it. [3] [5] The song finds the singer taking to the dance floor with a female friend who wears "[a] backless dress and some beat up sneaks", referring to her as his "discotheque, Juliet teenage dream". [28] [29] The chorus, consisting of two "shut up and dance with me" hook-lines, is accentuated by kick drum hits and accompanied by gang vocals. [20] [30] Jeff Miers of The Buffalo News said that the lyrics "boast the sort of everyman relatability that is required of a pop hit". [25]

Critical reception

Upon the song's release, Mike Wass of Idolator said "Shut Up and Dance" is "pretty irresistible" with its "monstrous chorus and a plethora of hooks". [23] Billboard's Ryan Reed gave the song a four and a half stars out of five, mentioning how Petricca's vocal runs are "catchier than most bands' choruses". [17] AbsolutePunk 's Anthony Sorendino wrote that the track is not "a cookie cutter chorus rigged to a cheap set of verses" and that the chord progression is what sells it. [18] AllMusic's James Christopher Monger described the song as a "pulsing, closing credits-ready anthem that oozes upbeat millennial enthusiasm" while having "just enough angst to evoke a Breakfast Club post-lunch therapy session". [31] Mitchell Bozzetto of Renowned for Sound felt it is one of the better tracks off Talking Is Hard, saying "its catchy chorus and overall refreshing atmosphere is quite enjoyable". [32]

The staff of Alternative Addiction picked "Shut Up and Dance" as the top song of 2014, writing that "there isn't a song that's been as catchy or as good released in a long time". [33] Chris DeVille of Stereogum placed it at number 43 on his "50 Best Pop Songs of 2015" list, saying the song is "proof positive" that one does not "have to innovate or [be] trendy to score a hit, [they] just have to write a hit". [34] Consequence of Sound ranked it as the 235th best number one Billboard alternative rock hit in 2017. Killian Young, writing for the publication, viewed the song as "[i]nsipid pop", but complimented its catchiness and called the chorus "crowd-pleasing". [35]

The song is considered by Billboard to be heavily influenced by The Edge of U2 and Vulture describes how the opening riff resembles U2's "Where the Streets Have No Name". [36] [37]

The music video for "Shut Up and Dance", directed by Josh Forbes and co-directed by the band members, was shot in Los Angeles in September 2014. [64] It first premiered on the internet radio network 8tracks on October 22, 2014, before it went live on Walk the Moon's Vevo account a day later. [65] [66] Petricca described the video as "a trippy story of dork victory" that was "[i]nfluenced by the plot- driven music videos of the 80s and nerdy visuals of 90s television". [64] In an interview with Mashable, he said that the band intended for it "to be kooky, but also stylish [with] a story you could follow" like the video for Michael Jackson's "Beat It" (1983). [65]

The clip features graphics similar to those used in the opening of Saved by the Bell (1989–93) that take over the screen. [67] Vulture's Lauretta Charlton wrote that the video's plot "is a retelling of th[e] events" at The Echo, with the exception of "look[ing] like it was filmed in a laser-tag arena instead of a nightclub". [68] Lauren Taft stars alongside Petricca as the "woman of his dreams" that he meets on the dance floor, mouthing the lyrics to the song as they dance together. [69] [70] There are several cameos like Russell Wilson.

Idolator's Mike Wass called it a "hilarious visual" where "things get really weird thanks to a serious case of dance floor concussion". [71] Stereogum's Chris DeVille said the video is "an excellent sendup" that pointedly embraces its '80s influences as "a knowing pastiche of side ponytails, neon, and references to early MTV". [72] [73] MTV's Gil Kaufman remarked that the video is "so retro it might give Simon LeBon whiplash". [74] It received a nomination at the 2015 MTV Video Music Awards for Best Rock Video, but lost to Fall Out Boy's "Uma Thurman" (2015). [75]
