The story behind the song

"Shake It Off" is a song by Taylor Swift, released as the lead single from her fifth studio album, 1989. She wrote the lyrics herself and composed the melody with the song's producers. The lyrics express Swift's disinterest in negative remarks, inspired by her experience with media scrutiny. This uptempo dance-pop song features a looping drum beat, a Mellotron-based saxophone line, and a handclap-accented bridge. It was released to promote 1989 as Swift's first pop album after her previous country-oriented image and sound.
