Background
All of the songs were available for listening during the Radio Disney Planet Premiere held three days prior to the soundtrack's release and on RadioDisney.com, excluding The Deluxe Edition bonus tracks, and the Target exclusive tracks (with the exception of "The Star I R," which was played On-Air that day). It sold 210,000 copies in the US in 2012, and was the best-selling TV soundtrack of the year.
Critical reception
Heather Phares of Allmusic gave a review: "The soundtrack to the Disney Channel's show Shake It Up, about two girls who finally get a chance to live their dreams of being professional dancers, is as foot-tapping as its subtitle, Live 2 Dance, suggests. The dance-pop set features Bella Thorne's text-speak hit "TTYLXOX," Blush's driving "Up Up and Away," and Amber Lily's Ke$ha-esque "Turn It On," along with tracks by Zendaya, Coco Jones, Adam Hicks and Adam Trent."
Singles
The first single was "TTYLXOX", by Bella Thorne, released on March 6, 2012.
"Something to Dance For" by Zendaya was released as promotional single on March 6, 2012.
