"Shine" is the first single to be released from Lift, the second album from former Australian Idol runner up Shannon Noll. It was released in Australia on 26 September 2005 and debuted at #1 on the ARIA Charts. "Shine" was the number one most added song to radio on release and praise was high as the song was seen as a departure from the country-tinged rock and balladry of Shannon's debut album, and eventually became Shannon's biggest radio hit to date, featuring in the top 10 most played songs of both 2005 and 2006. The song was written by Canadian songwriter Andy Stochansky who also recorded the song for inclusion on one of his albums.

"Shine" is the official theme tune for Cricket on Five.

"Shine" has been nominated for the Highest Selling Single award at the 2006 ARIA Awards, to be held October 2006.

This song was played when the Socceroos defeated Uruguay in the FIFA World Cup 2006 qualification playoff in Sydney when the team was celebrating on a stage in the middle of the park.

This song is also featured in the comedy National Lampoon's Van Wilder: The Rise of Taj.
