Tiktok Trend - Shake It To The Max - May 2025

The “Shake It To The Max” trend exploded in May 2025 and is all over TikTok and Instagram Reels. It’s fun, energetic, and totally dance-driven — perfect for creators who want to show movement, vibe with the beat, or just have a good time on camera.

If you like catchy music, cool choreography, and short videos with personality, this trend is definitely for you.

What’s this trend all about?

The trend is built around the sound "Shake It To The Max (FLY) (Remix)" by Shenseea, MOLIY, skillibeng, and Silent Addy. It focuses on a specific high-energy part of the song — where the lyrics “gone, gone, gone,” “baby she'll get to the max,” and “shake it to the max” hit hard with the beat.

Creators perform a series of choreographed dance moves synced to those lyrics — including hand waves, body rolls, and expressive footwork. It’s fast, fun, and full of personality.

What kind of videos people are making

  • Example 1: A solo girl dancing in her bedroom with smooth moves and great energy.
  • Example 2: A guy dancing in a clean, modern hallway with strong body movement and eye contact.
  • Example 3: Two girls dancing together in a bright public space, having fun and matching steps.

Want to use it? Here’s the step-by-step

  • Search for “Shake It To The Max” on TikTok or Reels. Tap on the trending sound or use this link.
  • Click on “Use this sound” so your video gets tied to the official audio — this helps people find it.
  • Learn the core choreography: hand waves, pointing, body rolls, and a final “shake it” moment. Watch multiple videos to get the flow.
  • Practice slowly, then at full speed with the music until it feels smooth and clean.
  • Choose your recording space — good light, minimal clutter, and enough room to move.
  • Use vertical video. Place your camera so your whole body (or at least waist-up) is visible.
  • Record multiple takes to get the best shot — stay on beat, smile, and have energy!
  • Edit if needed: trim the start, add light filters, or include a caption like “#ShakeItToTheMax”.
  • Add hashtags like #ToTheMax #ShakeItToTheMax #DanceChallenge #TikTokDance #FYP.
  • Post and interact! Like other videos, reply to comments, and share across platforms.

When it works best (and why)

This trend works great when the performance is full of life and personality. The moves don’t have to be perfect — but timing and vibe matter a lot.

  • Good lighting and framing keep the focus on your moves.
  • Clothing that moves well and matches the energy helps it pop.
  • Sync your dance exactly to the beat — this makes it satisfying to watch.
  • Smiling and adding your own twist makes it unique.
  • Posting with the right hashtags increases your chance of going viral.

When it doesn’t work (and why)

This trend can fall flat if it’s hard to see you, off-beat, or too low-energy.

  • Bad lighting or messy background? People might scroll past.
  • Don’t post with random audio — always use the trending sound from the platform.
  • If you rush the dance or miss the beat, it feels awkward — practice first.
  • Avoid over-editing or filters that hide the dance moves.
  • Don’t forget the basics: have fun, be clear, and show your style!
