"Shake" is the third single from the Ying Yang Twins album, U.S.A. (United State of Atlanta). It features the rapper Pitbull. The song contains a sample of "Din Daa Daa" by George Kranz.

The official remix features Pitbull with a new verse and Elephant Man, featured in the Ying Yang Twins' U.S.A. Still United and Pitbull's Money Is Still a Major Issue.

The song makes a reference to the songs "The New Workout Plan" by Kanye West and "Back that Azz Up" by Juvenile.
