"Shake It Up" is a single by Kumi Koda and charted #6 on Oricon, remaining on the charts for five weeks. It was used as the ending theme to The Sunday, an informational program shown on NTV.

Shake It Up is Japanese, R&B-turned-pop singer-songwriter Kumi Koda's fourth single in her 12 Single Collection. It hit #6 on the Oricon Singles Charts and remained on the charts for five consecutive weeks. Like the other singles in the collection, "Shake It Up" was limited to 50,000 copies.

Each single in the 12 Singles Collection had unique cover art based on certain cultures in various countries. The back cover of each single was a piece to a puzzle, which could only be completed by purchasing all twelve singles. The same was done for the obi strips, which contained a full image when arranged together in order. However, the obi strip image was omitted on the Hong Kong versions.

"Shake It Up" was used as the ending theme of Nippon TV's informational program The Sunday (THE・サンデー) through the month of December 2005. The show was broadcast live every Sunday from October 1, 1989 until September 28, 2008 [in March 2011, it was renewed as The Sunday Next (TheサンデーNEXT)].

The song contained mainly elements of pop with the music video showing a darker theme of a puppet brought to life and controlled by two puppet masters. Despite the gothic theme, the song itself was about losing yourself to music. "Shake It Up" was composed by musical composer and lyricist Kim Hiroshi. Hiroshi had previously composed the music for Kumi's song "life" from her Kiseki single and had also worked with fellow label-mate BoA.
