Selena Gomez - Shake It Up
mAOXvFg8Skk
Talk about worlds colliding. "Shake It Up", which debuted in 2010, helped launch the careers of Zendaya and Bella Thorne, who star as background dancers Rocky Blue and CeCe Jones, respectively.
Both performers can sing, so one might assume one or both of them would be tapped for the show's theme song. Instead, Disney Channel went in another direction by getting a tried-and-true Disney star at the time — Selena Gomez — to helm those vocals.
The opening theme — also called Shake It Up — was written and produced by Jeanne Lurie, Chen Neeman, and Aris Archontis, a team that has a long history of penning hits for Disney, as they also made the theme songs for "Good Luck Charlie" and "Sonny With a Chance".
