Background and promotion

"Shake That" was recorded and mixed in Los Angeles in January 2015. According to Jade, she "heard it at the studio while we were writing something else and I was like, 'We need to pause on this song and I need to record this right now!' It just had this great feel and message, so we got straight to it and now it's my single!"Pitbull was added months later when Jade felt that the song was missing a bridge. She felt that "Pitbull was perfect because of the track feeling like a real ‘him’ sort of song. So we sent it out and hoped to god that he’d say ‘yes’ and he did.” He later recorded the bridge in Miami. Jade's first TV performance of the song was on 26 July 2015, on Australia's Dancing with the Stars. On 30 July 2015, she performed the song on Australian morning shows, Sunrise and The Morning Show. It peaked at number 32 on the ARIA Singles Chart.

WINtA

WINtA is a music video game for the iOS platform, developed pro bono by Masaya Matsuura’s NanaOn-Sha Studio and Triangle Studios, published by ngmoco under the OneBigGame charity initiative. Profits go to Save the Children and the Starlight Foundation

Matsuura-san explained in an interview that through WINtA and the OneBigGame initiative, he wishes to "contribute to the games developer society and communities".

Gameplay

The game consists of buttons, usually square shaped, that players must tap in rhythm with the vocals of the songs. The squares fill up with a color, and players must tap them when they’re full. The player’s timing will influence the voice sample’s timing as well, and if a square is completely missed, no voice sample will be heard. All levels share this same tapping mechanic and vocal focus, though they may look radically different from each other, as the buttons can have any color or any shape.

Soundtrack

The title track, Masaya Matsuura's "War is Not The Answer", is included in the initial free application download, whilst additional tracks from various artists are available via in-app purchasing. Some additional tracks are also available for free download.
