It’s one of Grammy-winning singer Ed Sheeran’s signature songs.

The lyrics tell a story about a woman he falls in love with at first sight.

The groovy beat and rap-like melody are also appealing.

Shake It OffTaylor Swift

It’s a recent up-tempo song by the global diva, Taylor.

The title “Shake it off” means “don’t worry about it,” and it’s like her own answer song saying she won’t pay attention to her exes around the world or their fans who hate on her.

Not worrying about that at all, it’s a huge hit in Japan.
