About Dancing

"Dancing" is a song by Australian singer Kylie Minogue. It was released on 19 January 2018 by BMG and Liberator Music, as the lead single from her fourteenth studio album Golden (2018). Written by Minogue, Steve McEwan and Nathan Chapman, and produced by Sky Adams, "Dancing" was the singer's first material with BMG and Liberator, after finishing her contract with British label Parlophone two years prior. Musically, "Dancing" is a departure from her usual electronic dance sound, and adapts to country pop with elements of electronica and dance-pop. Lyrically, it talks about having fun and enjoying life, with death and time being incorporated into the song's themes. "Dancing" received critical acclaim from music critics, many whom praised the song's production and lyrical quality. Upon its release on the parent album, certain critics had chosen it as a highlight. Commercially, the track reached the top twenty in regions such as Spain, Scotland, Hungary and Poland. It became the singer's 51st top-forty entry on the UK Singles Chart, and her 14th number-one hit on the US Dance Club Songs chart. Additionally, despite staying one week in the Top 50 in her native Australia, "Dancing" was certified gold by the Australian Recording Industry Association for sales exceeding 35,000 units.

No one wants to stay at home
Nobody wants to be alone
When you come knocking, I’ll be at your door

I don’t ever wanna stop
I’m gonna give it all I've got
And when they ask me, “who could ask for more?”

Can’t stand still
I won’t slow down

When I go out, I wanna go out dancing
Ah-ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah-ah
When I go out, I wanna go out dancing
Ah-ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah-ah
I wanna go out dancing

I wanna go out
I wanna go out, dancing

This is where I wanna be with you
Your arms wrapped around me
And fireworks reflecting in your eyes
This is how I wanna feel
The wild kiss, the music reeling
Getting down, riding all the highs

Can’t stand still
I won’t slow down

When I go out, I wanna go out dancing
Ah-ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah-ah
When I go out, I wanna go out dancing
Ah-ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah-ah
I wanna go out dancing

I wanna go out
I wanna go out, dancing

Everybody’s got a story
Let it be your blaze of glory
Burning bright, never fade away
And when the final curtain falls, we could say we did it all
The never ending of a perfect day

Can’t stand still (Can’t stand still)
I won’t slow down (Won’t slow down)

When I go out, I wanna go out dancing
Ah-ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah-ah
When I go out, I wanna go out dancing
Ah-ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah-ah
I wanna go out dancing

I wanna go out
I wanna go out
(I wanna go out dancing)
I wanna go out
I wanna go out
(I wanna go out dancing)
