"Dance & Shout" / "Hope" is the fourth and final official single from Shaggy's multi-platinum studio album Hot Shot, released on 19 November 2001. The single was made up of two tracks that had previously been released as singles in exclusive territories. "Dance & Shout" samples "Shake Your Body (Down to the Ground)" by The Jacksons.[1]
Background
"Hope" was a song first recorded for the soundtrack of the film For Love of the Game, and was released as a single from the soundtrack exclusively in America on 23 November 1999, however, to no commercial success. "Dance & Shout" was released as a preceding single to Hot Shot exclusively in Europe on 11 July 2000, achieving only minor success; however, the song peaked at number 42 on the ARIA Singles Chart and number four on the Bubbling Under Billboard Hot 100 chart due to import sales. In November 2001, following the release of the three official worldwide singles from Hot Shot—"It Wasn't Me", "Angel" and "Luv Me, Luv Me", both "Dance & Shout" and "Hope" were re-released as a double A-side for all territories.
