The song "Shake It Up" by Koda Kumi is a vibrant and upbeat dance track that encourages listeners to let loose and forget their worries. The lyrics tell the story of the singer getting lost in the music, unable to control their emotions and wondering if it's the music's fault or their own. The repetition of "Oi-Oi-Oh!" throughout the song adds to the energetic atmosphere and invites the listener to join in.
The chorus specifically urges the listener to shake it up until morning comes and to clap their hands to the beat while keeping their dreams in mind. The singer is fully immersed in the swirling lights and rhythm of the music, using their entire body to dance the night away. Even when the same old scenes and sighs start to pop up in their mind, they are able to push them away and find comfort in dancing with their friends.
The song is definitely a party anthem that encourages people to dance and have a good time. It is a perfect addition to any dance playlist and is sure to get people moving. The repetitive catchiness of the "Oi-Oi-Oh!" chant is also perfect for live performances where the audience can easily join in.
