"Shell Shocked" is a song by American musicians Juicy J, Wiz Khalifa, and Ty Dolla $ign featuring fellow American musicians Kill the Noise and Madsonik, released on July 22, 2014 for the film Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. The song also features vocals from American singer-songwriter Moxie Raia, who was only credited as an artist in the film's credits.[1] The song was written by all artists involved alongside Seann Bowe.

Madsonik (Brian Tyler), who composed the score for the film, was asked to create a song for the film's credits. At first he invited Kill the Noise for an electronic track, and the result had what Madsonik described as "this groove going, and it sounded more like a hip-hop song". Thus they decided to invite some of their favorite rappers, and attracted Juicy J, Wiz Khalifa, and Ty Dolla $ign given they liked the track and were fans of the Ninja Turtles.[2]

A music video for the song was released on July 29, 2014; as of January 2025, it has over 216 million views.[3]
