Question

would the lyrics “Go and shake it up! What cha gotta lose?” from the song big time rush, be considered a reference to the song shake it up (an allusion) ???

Answer 1

It depends

Step-by-step explanation:

It depends on whether the writer enjoyed that song at the time when he/she wrote the lyrics I guess. There needs to be more proof to be sure that it is one, because it is a pretty common saying. I'd say yes or no to be on the safe side no.
