About Better When I'm Dancin'

"Better When I'm Dancin'" is a song recorded by American singer-songwriter Meghan Trainor for the soundtrack to the film The Peanuts Movie (2015), based on the comic strip of the same name created by Charles M. Schulz. Epic Records released it on October 13, 2015, as the first and only promotional single from the soundtrack. Trainor co-wrote and co-produced the song with Thaddeus Dixon. "Better When I'm Dancin'" is a tropical track that strays from Trainor's usual musical style, being described as "breezy and harmless" with traces of house music. "Better When I'm Dancin'" peaked at number 76 in Australia, and at number one on the US Bubbling Under Hot 100 Singles chart, scanning platinum in both countries. Philip Andelman directed the music video, which was released on October 13, 2015. Trainor has performed "Better When I'm Dancin'" live on several shows, including The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon and Dancing with the Stars. It was performed during her MTrain Tour (2015).
