Walk the Moon (stylized as WALK THE MOON) is an American Alternative Rock band from Cincinnati, Ohio. Their current lineup is Nicholas Petricca (lead vocals and keyboard), Sean Waugaman (drums), and Eli Maiman (guitar). Formed in 2006, they had underground success in their early career, with their self-released album I Want! I Want and its song "Anna Sun" helping earn them a record deal with RCA Records. After mostly reissuing their first album for their major-label debut Self-Titled Album, the uptempo rock anthem "Shut Up and Dance" off their second album Talking Is Hard broke them into the mainstream in 2014, propelling the single and the accompanying album to #4 on the Billboard charts.Their third album, What If Nothing, was released on November 10, 2017, after a year-long hiatus from touring. Bassist Kevin Ray was dismissed from the band at the end of 2020, leaving Walk the Moon a trio. Their fourth album, Heights, was released in 2021. In 2023, the band announced that they will be entering an indefinite hiatus, but not before releasing more music.Album Discography: I Want! I Want!

Reincarnation Romance | |
| Walk the Moon (Music) / int_3016de81 | comment |
"Avalanche" is about a Reincarnation Romance, with the singer making eye contact with someone and abruptly realizing that they were in love in a past life, and that he's still in love with them. | |

Lover, Not a Fighter | |
| Walk the Moon (Music) / int_4660f594 | comment |
Lover, Not a Fighter: "I'm Good" is a song about the end of a bad relationship, and although the narrator has every right to rake the other person over the coals for their treatment, they decide to be the bigger individual and wish them well. There could also be some Reality Subtext in the lyrics due to Kevin Ray's departure. | |

We Used to Be Friends | |
| Walk the Moon (Music) / int_51a3ba7 | comment |
We Used to Be Friends: "Iscariot", appropriately enough. The lyrics are ambiguous enough that the song could indeed be referring to the Iscariot who betrayed Jesus to his death, or could be about someone comparing their betrayal to his. | |

Anti-Love Song: A pretty optimistic one in "Portugal", which is about moving on from a relationship that's faded and finding out that you're strong all by yourself. "Surrender". | |

I Can't Believe a Guy Like You Would Notice Me | |
| Walk the Moon (Music) / int_9bf49893 | comment |
I Can't Believe a Guy Like You Would Notice Me: "Shut Up and Dance" is a rather heartwarming song about a guy who meets the girl of his dreams in a dance club when she approaches him and asks him to dance. She's out of his league. He knows she's out of his league, and he is absolutely confused as to why someone as wonderful as she would even look at a scrub like him. When he asks, she's irritated at the question, responding, "Shut up and dance with me." The video makes this even more obvious than the lyrics do. | |

The '80s | |
| Walk the Moon (Music) / int_c10da874 | comment |
The '80s: Much of the band's general sound and aesthetic (especially from Talking Is Hard) have a very Eighties throwback vibe in general. The entirety of the "Shut Up and Dance" video is a homage to/Affectionate Parody of Eighties music video tropes including cheesy computer graphics and bad eighties fashions. Likewise, the band's costumes and performance area for the "Work This Body" video are an homage to Eighties kids' cartoons and graphic design. | |

Shout-Out | |
| Walk the Moon (Music) / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: The band is named after The Police's song "Walking on the Moon". "Shut Up and Dance" has a sequence where the other three members of the band re-enact the iconic "boombox over the head" sequence from Say Anything.... The lyrics call the girl a "discothèque Juliet teenage dream". "Down In The Dumps" has one to fellow band Fitz And The Tantrums, who they toured with. | |

You Are Worth Hell | |
| Walk the Moon (Music) / int_d8dde631 | comment |
You Are Worth Hell: The main theme of "Entropy" is that things might be awful, but the singer is happy to endure that if it means being with the one he's singing to. Petricca has stated the entire What If Nothing album is about realizing that the future is uncertain and certainly full of difficulties, but willing to step through and move forward anyways. | |

Percussive Maintenance: In the video for "Shut Up and Dance", the music comes to a halt right before the final chorus. It starts up again and continues as normal once the female lead comes in and hits Nick's shirt a few times and it goes static like trying to fix a broken TV. | |
