Lyrics

Japanese

Wanna dancing all night baby 
巡る夜に身を任せて 
Wanna dancing all night baby 
一つになる 
この時に委ねてたんだ 

明日のことなんて 
誰にもわからない 
今を感じて踊り続けたい 
選んできた場所も 
間違いはないから 
D.A.N.C.E.! 
思いのままに 

光の中 

Wanna dancing all night baby 
長い夜に身を任せて 
Wanna dancing all night baby 
一つになる 
この時に委ねてたんだ

Song Production Information

DJ Yoshitaka

Since everyone seems to like it, let's make a heavy, original rap. By the way, the punctuation for "D.A.N.C.E.!" was inspired by that of "T・A・I・Y・O".

---

Kanako Hoshino

"D.A.N.C.E.!" is different from the intensity we see in "太陽〜T・A・I・Y・O〜"; I feel like it lets me show another side of myself. When you let the easy-going club rhythm flow into your bodies and start dancing, that's "D.A.N.C.E.!". It's the kind of song you might hear and get stuck in your head while you're passing by a club. "The things you worry about are a big deal sometimes, but it's not wrong to put the things you want first sometimes, so let's go the way we want to do things! Let's dance all night ton~ight!" That's what this song's about. I think it's a song that can help even people who worry all the time cheer up. Everyone listen, dance, and have fun! That's why we made this song ♪
