The Ting Tings followed their chart-topping "That's Not My Name" with "Shut Up and Let Me Go", another cut from their 2008 debut We Started Nothing, written by Katie White and Jules De Martino. America actually heard it first: after it turned up in an Apple iPod commercial in April 2008, it was released in the US that month and became the duo's first Billboard Hot 100 entry.
The British release followed in July, the fifth single from the album. BBC Radio 1 slotted it onto its A-list and gave it heavy daytime play, and it reached number six on both the UK singles and download charts. Rolling Stone later ranked it 27th among the best songs of 2008.
