Visibly excited by this unexpected turn of events, Skales took to social media to appeal to his fans to allow him to savor this moment without comparisons to other artists. He also expressed his gratitude to God for this newfound favor and called for collaboration among his colleagues and fans to foster collective growth.
In a post on his X (formerly Twitter) handle, Skales wrote, “I feel like my life just restarted again … I’m nothing but a learner pls allow me to enjoy this moment without disrespecting anyone that has achieved way more than me … God is the greatest … let’s grow together yall.”
The resurgence of the 2015 hit track followed a viral clip showing Spanish football stars Lamine Yamal, Nico Williams, and Samu Omorodion dancing to ‘Shake Body.’ This moment gained significant traction online, introducing the song to a new generation of listeners and reigniting its popularity among long-time fans.
Over the weekend, Skales had the opportunity to meet the young Barcelona star, Yamal, following the team's thrilling 3-2 victory over Real Madrid in the Copa del Rey final at the Estadio La Cartuja de Sevilla. He also had the pleasure of meeting Yamal's mother during the encounter.
The unexpected revival of ‘Shake Body’ underscores the unpredictable nature of viral trends and the potential for music to transcend time and borders through such moments. For Skales, this renewed attention marks a significant boost and a testament to the enduring appeal of his music.
