"Shave It" is a song by Russian-German electronic music producer Zedd. The song was produced and written by Zedd, and released on 4 October 2011 via Skrillex's record label Owsla. The song peaked at number 4 on the Billboard Hot Dance Club Songs chart on 3 March 2012.[1] An extended play of the track – featuring remixes by Kaskade, Tommy Trash, and 501 – was released on 8 November 2011, titled Shave It – The Aftershave.[2]

The alternate version of the song, "Shave It Up", is included on Zedd's debut studio album, Clarity. The extended version was released exclusively on Beatport on 22 October 2012.[3] Another song that incorporates the use of "Shave It" is Zedd's song "Hourglass" (featuring LIZ), the track before "Shave It Up" in Clarity. After the 4 minutes of the main part of the song, it becomes a 1:15-prelude to "Shave It Up".[4]
