musicbiz101wp – Shake It Off is a song by American singer-songwriter Taylor Swift. It was written by Swift and her producers, Max Martin and Shellback. “Shake It Off” is an uptempo dance-pop song featuring a saxophone line in its production.
The lyrics are about Swift’s indifference to her critics and their negative view of her image. The song is the lead single from her fifth studio album, 1989, which Swift marketed as her first pop album. It was released for digital download worldwide on August 19, 2014, by Big Machine Records.
Contemporary critics find the song’s dance-pop production interesting, but some believe its lyrics are weak. In retrospect, critics saw “Shake It Off” as an effective start to the era of 1989, which transformed Swift’s voice and image from country to pop.
The song was featured on a late 2010s list by NME and Consequence. In the US, the single spent 50 weeks—including four weeks at number one—on the Billboard Hot 100, and received a Diamond certification from the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). This song also topped the charts in Australia, Canada, Hungary, Mexico, New Zealand, and Poland.
The single is supported by a music video directed by Mark Romanek. The video, in which Swift depicts an awkward person trying to practice some dance moves to no avail, draws accusations of cultural appropriation for featuring dance routines associated with people of color such as twerking.
To promote the song, Swift appeared on live television shows including the MTV Video Music Awards and the iHeartRadio Music Festival. She included “Shake It Off” on the set lists for his two world tours, the 1989 World Tour (2015) and the Reputation Stadium Tour (2018). The song has received numerous awards, including Favorite Song at the 2015 People’s Choice Awards and three Grammy nominations at the 2015 Grammy Awards.
Taylor Swift: Shake It Off Lyrics
I stay out too late
Got nothing in my brain
That’s what people say, mmm-mmm
That’s what people say, mmm-mmm
I go on too many dates
But I can’t make them stay
At least that’s what people say, mmm-mmm
That’s what people say, mmm-mmm
But I keep cruising
Can’t stop, won’t stop moving
It’s like I got this music
In my mind
Saying, “It’s gonna be alright.”
‘Cause the players gonna play, play, play, play, play
And the haters gonna hate, hate, hate, hate, hate
Baby, I’m just gonna shake, shake, shake, shake, shake
I shake it off, I shake it off
Heart-breakers gonna break, break, break, break, break
And the fakers gonna fake, fake, fake, fake, fake
Baby, I’m just gonna shake, shake, shake, shake, shake
I shake it off, I shake it off
I never miss a beat
I’m lightning on my feet
And that’s what they don’t see, mmm-mmm
That’s what they don’t see, mmm-mmm
I’m dancing on my own (dancing on my own)
I make the moves up as I go (moves up as I go)
And that’s what they don’t know, mmm-mmm
That’s what they don’t know, mmm-mmm
But I keep cruising
Can’t stop, won’t stop grooving
It’s like I got this music
In my mind
Saying, “It’s gonna be alright.”
‘Cause the players gonna play, play, play, play, play
And the haters gonna hate, hate, hate, hate, hate
Baby, I’m just gonna shake, shake, shake, shake, shake
I shake it off, I shake it off
Heart-breakers gonna break, break, break, break, break
And the fakers gonna fake, fake, fake, fake, fake
Baby, I’m just gonna shake, shake, shake, shake, shake
I shake it off, I shake it off
Shake it off, I shake it off,
I, I, I shake-it-off, I shake-it-off,
I, I, I shake-it-off, I shake-it-off,
I, I, I shake-it-off, I shake-it-off
Hey, hey, hey
Just think while you’ve been getting down and out about the liars and the dirty, dirty cheats of the world,
You could’ve been getting down to this sick beat.
My ex-man brought his new girlfriend
She’s like “Oh, my God!” but I’m just gonna shake.
And to the fella over there with the hella good hair
Won’t you come on over, baby? We can shake, shake, shake
Yeah ohhh
‘Cause the players gonna play, play, play, play, play
And the haters gonna hate, hate, hate, hate, hate (haters gonna hate)
I’m just gonna shake, shake, shake, shake, shake
I shake it off, I shake it off
Heart-breakers gonna break, break, break, break, break (mmmm)
And the fakers gonna fake, fake, fake, fake, fake (and fake, and fake, and fake)
Baby, I’m just gonna shake, shake, shake, shake, shake
I shake it off, I shake it off
Shake it off, I shake it off,
I, I, I shake-it-off, I shake-it-off,
I, I, I shake-it-off, I shake-it-off
I, I, I shake-it-off, I shake-it-off
Shake it off, I shake it off,
I, I, I shake-it-off, I shake-it-off,
I, I, I shake-it-off, I shake-it-off,
I, I, I shake-it-off, I shake-it-off
Shake it off, I shake it off,
I, I, I shake-it-off, I shake-it-off (you’ve got to),
I, I, I shake-it-off, I shake-it-off,
I, I, I shake-it-off, I shake-it-off
The song debuted at #1 on the Billboard Hot 100, becoming Swift’s second number one single in the US and the 22nd song to debut at number one in the chart’s history. Interestingly, Mariah Carey’s song of the same name went to #2 US in 2005.
“The message in the song is a problem I think we all deal with and an issue we deal with on a daily basis. We don’t live just in a celebrity takedown culture, we live in a takedown culture. People will find anything about you and twist it to where it’s weird or wrong or annoying or strange or bad. You have to not only live your life in spite of people who don’t understand you, you have to have more fun than they do.” – Taylor Swift.
Terjemahan:
Aku di luar sampai larut malam
Kepalaku tak ada isinya
Itulah yang orang-orang katakan
Itulah yang orang-orang katakan
Aku terlalu sering gonta-ganti pasangan
Tapi aku tak bisa membuat mereka bertahan
Paling tidak itulah yang orang-orang katakan
Itulah yang orang-orang katakan
Tapi aku akan tetap berkelana
Tak bisa berhenti, tak mau berhenti
Seperti ada musik di kepalaku
Yang seolah berkata
“Semuanya akan baik-baik saja.”
Karena para pemain (playboy/girl) akan selalu bermain, main, main
Para pembenci (haters) akan tetap membenci, benci, benci
Sayang, aku hanya bisa merasa, rasa, rasa
Masa bodoh, masa bodoh
Para pematah hati tak akan berhenti mematahkan hati
Dan yang bermuka dua akan terus bermuka dua
Sayang, aku hanya bisa merasa, rasa, rasa
Masa bodoh, masa bodoh
Aku tak pernah salah langkah
Kakiku lincah dan cepat seperti kilat
Dan itulah yang tak orang-orang lihat
Itulah yang tak orang-orang lihat
Aku berdansa sendirian
Bergerak tanpa direncanakan
Dan itulah yang mereka tak tahu
Itulah yang mereka tak tahu
Tapi aku akan tetap berkelana
Tak bisa berhenti, akan terus ikuti irama
Seperti ada musik di kepalaku
Yang seolah berkata
“Semuanya akan baik-baik saja.”
Karena para pemain (playboy/girl) akan selalu bermain, main, main
Para pembenci (haters) akan tetap membenci, benci, benci
Sayang, aku hanya bisa merasa, rasa, rasa
Masa bodoh, masa bodoh
Para pematah hati tak akan berhenti mematahkan hati
Dan yang bermuka dua akan terus bermuka dua
Sayang, aku hanya bisa merasa, rasa, rasa
Masa bodoh, masa bodoh
Masa bodoh, masa bodoh
E, e, emang gue pikirin, emang gue pikirin
E, e, emang gue pikirin, emang gue pikirin
E, e, emang gue pikirin, emang gue pikirin
Hei, hei, hei
Coba berpikirlah, daripada kau sibuk berceramah tentang para pembohong dan tukang selingkuh di dunia
Mending kau ikut menari dengan irama keren lagu ini
Mantanku membawa pacar barunya
Dan dia, “Oh Tuhan!” tapi aku tak akan memikirkannya
Dan fella (kau/sobat/bro) yang di sana
Dengan rambut yang hella (sangat) indah
Bisakah kau ke sini, sayang?
Kita bergoyang, goyang, goyang
Karena para pemain (playboy/girl) akan selalu bermain, main, main
Para pembenci (haters) akan tetap membenci, benci, benci
Sayang, aku hanya bisa merasa, rasa, rasa
Masa bodoh, masa bodoh
Para pematah hati tak akan berhenti mematahkan hati
Dan yang bermuka dua akan terus bermuka dua
Sayang, aku hanya bisa merasa, rasa, rasa
Masa bodoh, masa bodoh
Masa bodoh, masa bodoh
E, e, emang gue pikirin, emang gue pikirin
E, e, emang gue pikirin, emang gue pikirin
E, e, emang gue pikirin, emang gue pikirin
Masa bodoh, masa bodoh
E, e, emang gue pikirin, emang gue pikirin
E, e, emang gue pikirin, emang gue pikirin
E, e, emang gue pikirin, emang gue pikirin
