Mariah Carey’s credited work in the global pop sphere includes the sound titled Shake It Off, a recording rooted in the creative landscape of the Philippines, where pop music operates as a unifying cultural force that bridges local artistic priorities and the broader, cross-border currents that define the genre’s worldwide reach. The classification of this work as pop situates it within a long lineage of popular music that prioritizes wide accessibility and creative adaptability, traits that have allowed artists of Carey’s standing to craft work that resonates both within the specific territorial context of the Philippines and with audiences far beyond the archipelago’s borders.
