Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Got nothing in my brain
That's what people say, hmm, hmm
That's what people say, hmm, hmm
I go on too many dates
But I can't make them stay
At least that's what people say, hmm, hmm
But I keep cruising
Can't stop, won't stop moving
It's like I got this music in my mind
Sayin' 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
Heartbreakers 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, uh, uh, uh
I'll never miss a beat
I'm lightning on my feet
And that's what they don't see, hmm, hmm
That's what they don't see, hmm, hmm
I'm dancing on my own (I'm dancing on my own)
I'll make the moves up as I go (moves up as I go)
And that's what they don't know, hmm, hmm
That's what they don't know, hmm, hmm
But I keep cruising
Can't stop, won't stop grooving
It's like I got this music in my mind
Sayin' 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, uh, uh, uh
Heartbreakers 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, uh, uh, uh
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, uh, uh, uh
(Hey, hey, hey
Just think while you been getting down and out about the liars
And the dirty, dirty cheats of the world
You could have 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 it
And to the fella over there, with the hella good hair
Won't you come on over, baby, we can shake, shake, shake
(Yeah, oh) '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, uh, uh, uh
Heartbreakers 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, uh, uh, uh
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, uh, uh, uh
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, uh, uh, uh
Shake it off, I shake it off
I, I, I shake it off, I shake it off
(You got to) shake it off, shake it off
I, I, I shake it off, I shake it off
The song "Shake it Off" by Main-de-Gloire talks about the artist's response to criticism from others. He is aware of what people say about him and his lifestyle but chooses to ignore them and keep moving. The first verse speaks about how people criticize him for going out too late and having nothing in his brain. They perceive him as someone who can't commit to a relationship, and he acknowledges that. He, however, keeps going, and the music in his mind tells him that everything will be alright. He uses the phrase "Shake it Off" to describe his attitude towards the haters and the criticism that comes his way.
In the chorus, Main-de-Gloire recognizes that there will always be players, haters, heartbreakers, and fakers in this world, but he won't let them bring him down. Instead, he chooses to shake them off and keep moving. The bridge features a conversation between Main-de-Gloire and his ex-man's new girlfriend, where she seems surprised that he is still dancing and having a good time, despite what people say about him.
In conclusion, Main-de-Gloire's "Shake it Off" is a song about resilience and positive thinking. It's a message to people who may feel discouraged or disheartened by external criticism to keep moving on and not let the negative energy bring them down.
