    I. Introduction

    "Let's Shut Up & Dance" is a digital single from Jason Derulo, Lay and NCT 127. It was released on February 22, 2019.


    The song was a collaboration of American singer-songwriter Jason Derulo, Chinese singer and rapper Lay and Korean boy group NCT 127. All three of the artists are mentioned equally in the title and credits - none of them are described as "featured," although the two older artists, Derulo and Lay, have the largest parts in the song.


    The song was set to appear on an unreleased four-part tribute EP, The Greatest Dancer. The song and music video were inspired by Michael Jackson, with the video featuring references to iconic dance moves and videos. Not all of the members of NCT 127 appear on the song or in the video, with Haechan absent due to his medical hiatus.


    This song is entirely in English.

    III. Lyrics

    (English)


    [Intro: Jason Derulo]

    Bongo by the way

    Bass drop

    Uh, uh, yeah, uh, uh, uh

    Shut up and dance


    [Verse 1: Jason Derulo, Lay, Mark, Taeil]

    Your body give me motivation (Move)

    Your touch is all that's on my mind (Touch)

    Sweat on you precipitating (Sweat)

    You feel me rising from behind

    (Give it to me, give it to me)

    Come let your body show me (Shut up and dance)

    (Give it to me, give it to me)

    What your lips wanna say


    [Pre-Chorus: Lay]

    All my London girls, come and show me somethin’ (Hey)

    All my L.A. girls, come and show me somethin' (Hey)

    Ethiopian girls, come and show me somethin'

    Come and show me somethin’, come on, come on

    Jamaican girls wanna blow it down (Hey)

    My Asian girls wanna work it out (Hey)

    Turn around, don't talk shh, hush your mouth

    Show me somethin', show me somethin'


    [Chorus: Jason Derulo]

    Shut up and dance, uh (Ow)

    (Show me somethin')

    Shut up and dance, babe

    Ayy, shut up and dance


    [Verse 2: Jason Derulo, Lay]

    Roll it and light it for me (Light), ice my Corona (Oh)

    No need for conversation, love your persona

    And I'm really doing different routes (Skrrt, skrrt)

    Late night, eat it like In-N-Out

    Take two, you can bring a friend around

    2Pac, b*tch, I get around, get around


    [Pre-Chorus: Mark]
    All my London girls, come and show me somethin' (Hey)

    All my L.A. girls, come and show me somethin' (Hey)

    Ethiopian girls, come and show me somethin’

    Come and show me somethin’, come on, come on now

    Jamaican girls wanna blow it down (Hey)

    My Asian girls wanna work it out (Hey)

    Turn around, don't talk, shh, hush your mouth

    Show me somethin’, show me somethin'


    [Chorus: Jason Derulo]

    Shut up and dance (Ow), uh

    (Show me somethin')

    Shut up and dance, babe

    (Show me somethin')

    Ayy, shut up and dance


    [Breakdown: Jason Derulo]

    Oh, oh

    Shut up and dance

    Hey, hey, hey

    Shut up and dance

    (Show me somethin’)

    (Show me somethin')

    Hey, hey, hey


    [Bridge: Jason Derulo, All, Lay]

    Your body give me motivation (Move)

    Your touch is all that's on my mind (Touch)

    Sweat on you, precipitating, yeah (Sweat)

    You feel me rising from behind

    (Give it to me, give it to me)

    Come let your body show me

    (Give it to me, give it to me)

    What your lips wanna say


    [Chorus: Jason Derulo, Taeil]

    Shut up and dance (Show me somethin')

    Come on, girl (Show me somethin')

    Come on, come on, girl (Show me somethin')

    Oh, baby (Show me somethin')

    You ain't gotta say nothin'

    There's no use, ooh

    Shut up and dance

    (Show me somethin', show me somethin'

    Show me somethin', show me somethin')

    Shut up and dance (Blow it down)

    You ain't gotta say nothing (Shh), babe

    (Shut up and—)


    [Outro: Lay, Mark, Jason Derulo]

    All my London girls, come and show me somethin' (Hey)

    All my L.A. girls, come and show me somethin'

    Ethiopian girls, come and show me somethin'

    Come and show me somethin', come on, come on

    Jamaican girls wanna blow it down

    My Asian girls wanna work it out

    You ain't gotta say nothing

    Hush your mouth, hey
