The song features a pop rock arrangement and prominent rock-style guitar riffs, particularly during the intro and the bridge. "Shut Up and Kiss Me" is one of the most pop-oriented tracks on Believe, which in general tends towards pop-rock over the hard rock of her first album, Violet Journey (2007). In a 2013 interview, Orianthi revealed that "Shut Up & Kiss Me" was "too poppy" for her tastes and that she would have preferred her Desmond Child-co-write "Bad News" as the second single.[2]

Though failing to replicate the success of its predecessor, "Shut Up & Kiss Me" still attained a modest peak of 38 on Billboard′s Adult Pop single chart, in addition to charting in both Australia and Japan. The song garnered praise for its radio-friendly sound[3] and infusion of pop and rock elements, drawing comparisons to the music of Kelly Clarkson.[4]
