The second single was "Something To Dance For" by Zendaya and the video included the mash-up version from the soundtrack with Bella Thorne's "TTYLXOX" which was the third and final single.

Heather Phares of Allmusic gave a review: "The soundtrack to the Disney Channel's show Shake It Up, about two girls who finally get a chance to live their dreams of being professional dancers, is as foot-tapping as its subtitle, Live 2 Dance, suggests. The dance-pop set features Bella Thorne's text-speak hit "TTYLXOX," Blush's driving "Up Up and Away," and Amber Lily's Ke$ha-esque "Turn It On," along with tracks by Zendaya, Coco Jones, Adam Hicks and Adam Trent."[6]
