The song was a reworked version of "Shape of my Heart" from Ten Summoner's Tales by Sting and features a sampled version of the original. Dominic Miller, Sting's guitarist, and Sting himself received credits for the song.

According to Sun the video for Shape had to be censored because in the video the Sugababes wear flesh-coloured bodysuits which gives the effect they are naked. Extra computerized white butterflies, were used to cover the Sugababes.

As well as reaching number 11 in the UK, the song also went top 10 in the Netherlands and Ireland and top 20 in Norway. The video clip was directed by Michael Gracey and Peter Cummins and was placed on high rotation by MTV Europe. The video was shot in Fox Studios, Sydney, Australia.
