"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.

"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]

"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]

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]

Fang-Yi Sheu, a former principal with the Martha Graham Dance Company, explored movement in ways that were more grounded, her movements emanating from her solar plexus. Ms. Sheu was able to express such a sense of freedom simply by lifting her arms in circular movements above her head, a sense of freedom that follows here throughout the dance.

Let me explain. Mostof the time when a couple is learning to dance together, one half of the couplehas more desire, more musicality, more skill (perceived or real), or a combinationthereof. None of this should matter, butwe find over and over that it does. Whether it is the couple coming in for the first time trying to decideif dance lessons are right for them, or a couple that has been taking lessonsfor years, this inequality consistently rears its head in the most frustrating,awkward and uncomfortable ways.

Shut Up N' Dance was performed by the cast in the Season 3 episode April Fools Blank. They sing it for Tori's neighbor, Mr. Drysdale, who visits because he needs help after his wife tells him that he talks too much and never dances. On the soundtrack, Victoria sings the song solo. It was written by Michael Corcoran, Eric Goldman and Lindy Robbins.

Hi, on Audiokit D1 I found the '80s Fairlite Hybrid Synth' is great for the sound of 'The Best', and 'Bright Synth Pop' is the closest I could find for 'Shut up and dance'. Cheers for the help and hope other people covering these find this thread handy!

We did ours at the beginning. The DJ asked everyone to sit down for dinner & then did the introductions, and then we were introduced & walked in & went straight to the dance floor and did our first dance. If people were talking, I didn't even notice it. ff782bc1db
