"Shame" comes from Shake the Spirit, Elle King's second album, which RCA released on October 19, 2018, and which she recorded in Denton, Texas. She wrote it with producer Tim Pagnotta, and she's all over the track: lead vocal, drums, guitar and bass. Pagnotta adds guitar and backing vocals, Brian Phillips plays bass and keyboards and sings backup too, Len Miln recorded it and Neal Avron mixed.
The album around it was her first since the worldwide success of "Ex's and Oh's", and critics heard it as proof she had more in the tank, a record steeped in divorce, self-doubt, drinking to cope and PTSD, all of it fallout from life in the spotlight.
