Writing and inspiration

"Shake" is written by Jesse McCartney and Jacob Kasher and produced by Joshua Coleman. In an interview with MTV, McCartney described,"I'm really excited about 'Shake.' We decided that would be the first single to represent Have It All and ... I felt like that song was kind of the closest to [2008's] Departure and it was a way to sort of reacquaint the fans with my music." and "It's a kind of ... urban, kitschy track with a lot of synths and pop melodies on top, and it makes for good ear candy."[1]

Music video

The music video for "Shake" was filmed on October 26, 2010. The video is directed by Toben Seymour and choreographed Flii Stylz. In an interview, McCartney told MTV, "It's gonna be cool. We wanted to create a video that wasn't necessarily a story, following the song. It didn't necessarily have to be on the nose. We wanted something that was visually stimulating, a lot of cool camera techniques that haven't been used, a lot of saturated colors and even a lot of sexy girls with beautiful features."[1] The music video was premiered on E! News and E! Online on November 16, 2010.[4]
