I met Ryan at a party. He was the only one who could keep up with me on the dance floor. A few days later, he showed up at my house and we got in tune. At sunset ‘Shake’ was born, and it was beautiful. It is funny. She is energetic. Makes you want to move.

NE-YO continues saying:

LLAMA is an artist we need right now. Bringing some positive and morale-boosting music to people during what has been a tough year for many is something I’m happy to be a part of.

Finally he concludes Carmen DeLeon, adding:

I was so excited when I was asked to be a part of ‘Shake’ along with NE-YO and LLAMA My life revolves around creativity and dreaming big and this collaboration with the LEGO Group is the realization. I hope this song and the fun music video we shot inspire kids to always follow their dreams and think outside the box.
