"Shake Your Love" reached number four on the US Billboard Hot 100 in December 1987, giving Gibson her second consecutive top-five hit. The song was also her breakthrough in the UK, peaking at number seven on the UK Singles Chart to become her highest-charting entry. "Shake Your Love" also entered the top 10 in Ireland, where it reached number three.
The music video to support this single, eventually included on Gibson's video album Out of the Blue, was set on a facsimile of a drive-in movie theater lot and choreographed by Paula Abdul.[1] In 2010, Gibson re-recorded the song as an extra track for the deluxe release of the Japan-exclusive album Ms. Vocalist.
