The story behind
The energy of Shakin’ It Loose, with its 2:25 runtime, feels like a direct boost. It's one of those tracks that invites you to move, to let yourself go with the rhythm without too many complications. The title itself, a play on words with the idea of "high fidelity" that used to be seen on record covers, suggests a carefree attitude and a connection with the music that goes beyond the technical.
This song is part of Hi Infidelity, the ninth studio album by REO Speedwagon, which was released on November 21, 1980, under the Epic Records label. The album had a considerable impact in the United States, reaching the number one spot on the Billboard 200 and staying there for 15 weeks, a notable achievement for any musical production. In fact, it became the best-selling album of 1981 and was certified 10 times platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America. Singles from this album included Take It on the Run, which reached number 5 on the Billboard Hot 100, and Keep On Loving You, which marked the band's first number one hit. The production of Shakin’ It Loose involved the collaboration of engineers such as Kevin Beamish, Tom Cummings, and Jeff Eccles, while the production itself was handled by Kevin Beamish, Kevin Cronin, Alan Gratzer, and Gary Richrath.
