Talking Is Hard is the second studio album by American rock band Walk the Moon. It was released on December 2, 2014, by RCA Records. The first single released from the album was "Shut Up and Dance," which became an international hit for the band, reaching number one on the Billboard Alternative chart and the Billboard Rock Songs chart, as well peaking at number four on the Billboard Hot 100. It also charted in the Netherlands and Sweden.
The album has been described as new wave and very '80s-inspired. The album features 'chiptune' synthesizer solos, and chiptune synth tones. Nick Petricca called "Shut Up and Dance" a 'dork rock' anthem and it was inspired by songs like "Hit Me with Your Best Shot" (Pat Benatar) and "Jessie’s Girl" (Rick Springfield), real heart-on-your-sleeve kind of anthems.
