"Shine More" (styled in lowercase letters) is the 23rd single by Japanese recording artist Namie Amuro. It was released on March 5, 2003, by Avex Trax and serves as the second single from her sixth studio album Style (2003). It was originally written by Scott Nickoley, Sandra Pires and Paul Taylor, while the lyrics were translated into Japanese by H.U.B. Amuro called "Shine More" the first part of a dance number trilogy including "Put 'Em Up" and "So Crazy."
Musically, "Shine More" is an up-tempo R&B and dance-pop song with thick vocal work and rushing, minor-key strings. The song was recorded in the now-defunct Baybridge Studio, which was located in Shibaura, Tokyo. "Shine More" was warmly received by music critics for its production values, with some lauding it as a highlight from her discography.
Commercially, the single performed moderately in Japan, peaking at number eight on the Oricon Singles Chart. The CD single was certified gold by the Recording Industry Association of Japan (RIAJ) for selling over 100,000 units nationwide. The track was additionally used as the Mandom Lucido-L Prism Magic Hair Colour commercial song. Since its release, the song has appeared on several of Amuro's concert tours, as well as her greatest hits album Best Fiction (2008).
