About Neon Blue

"Neon Blue" is a song recorded by British group Steps for their fifth studio album, Tears on the Dancefloor (2017). Written by Carl Ryden and Fiona Bevan, it was announced as the third single from the album on 20 July 2017, and subsequently released on 4 August. Musically, it is a mid-tempo pop ballad which begins with a soft piano introduction and builds into an upbeat synth track, while lyrically, it is about encouraging a downcast friend to come out and have some fun. Band member Ian "H" Watkins described "Neon Blue" as a gay anthem due to its message of coming out. It garnered a positive response from music critics, with a general consensus that it is a classic Steps song. Its accompanying music video features a man and a woman who have had bad fortune in their relationships meeting at a party in a night club and their luck turning around. "Neon Blue" was included on the set list of their eighth headlining concert tour, the Party on the Dancefloor Tour (2017).

You were the life and the soul
Every party that we used to go
Baby all of the dancefloors you touched
You could turn them into gold

Thousands of stars in the night
Were jealous you could shine so bright
Now I'm missing your laugh and your glow
Won't rest until you let me know

So baby change your mind
Leave that broken heart behind
'Cause the night is young
So let it bring you back to life

Come out, come out, and dance with me
If you're down it's the remedy
'Cause all we need is me and you
In neon blue

Come as you are, 'cause you're great
And you don't need to change a thing
All your tears and your troubles can wait
And we don't need to let them win

I know that you remember
When you hear the music play
All those times together
Baby don't say it's too late

When the lights in the night call your name
They're waiting there for you to walk in

So baby change your mind
Leave that broken heart behind
'Cause the night is young
So let it bring you back to life

Come out, come out, and dance with me
If you're down it's the remedy
'Cause all we need is me and you
In neon blue

Come out, come out, and dance with me
If you're down it's the remedy
'Cause all we need is me and you
In neon blue

Come baby
Take my hand and hold me tight
And don't you ever let me go

Come out, come out, and dance with me
If you're down it's the remedy
'Cause all we need is me and you
In neon blue

Me and you in neon blue
Me and you in neon blue

'Cause all we need is me and you in neon blue
Is me and you in neon blue
