"Shake" is written by Jesse McCartney and Jacob Kasher and produced by Joshua Coleman. In an interview with MTV, McCartney described,"I'm really excited about 'Shake.' We decided that would be the first single to represent Have It All and ... I felt like that song was kind of the closest to [2008's] Departure and it was a way to sort of reacquaint the fans with my music." and "It's a kind of ... urban, kitschy track with a lot of synths and pop melodies on top, and it makes for good ear candy."[1]
