Lyrics

DanceDanceRevolution HOTTEST PARTY2 Cut

...just easy as ABC
That's how you make it right

Do the D-A-N-C-E
Stick to the B-E-A-T
Just easy as A-B-C
Do the dance, do the dance

The way you move is a mystery
Do the dance
You're always there for music and me
Do the dance (Do the dance)
The way you move is a mystery
Do the dance (Do the dance)
You're always there for music and me

Do the D-A-N-C-E
1, 2, 3, 4, fight
Stick to the B-E-A-T
Get ready to ignite
You were such a P-Y-T
Catching all the lights
Just easy as A-B-C
Do the dance, do the dance

Under the spotlights
Neither black nor white
It doesn't matter
Do the dance, do the dance

As strong as you might
Working day and night
Whatever happens
Do the dance, do the dance

The way you move is a mystery
Do the dance
You're always there for music and me

The way you move is a mystery...

Dancing Stage UNIVERSE2 Cut

Do the D-A-N-C-E
Stick to the B-E-A-T
Just easy as A-B-C
Do the dance, do the dance

The way you move is a mystery
Do the dance
You're always there for music and me
Do the dance (Do the dance)
The way you move is a mystery
Do the dance (Do the dance)
You're always there for music and me

Do the D-A-N-C-E
1, 2, 3, 4, fight
Stick to the B-E-A-T
Get ready to ignite
You were such a P-Y-T
Catching all the lights
Just easy as A-B-C
That's how you make it right

Do the dance (Do the dance)
The way you move is a mystery
Do the dance (Do the dance)
You're always there for music and me

Under the spotlights
Neither black nor white
It doesn't matter
Do the dance, do the dance

As strong as you might
Working day and night
Whatever happens
Do the dance, do the dance

The way you move is a mystery
Do the dance
You're always there for music and me

Song Connections / Remixes

• Dancing Stage UNIVERSE2 uses a different, slightly longer cut of D.A.N.C.E.. Unlike the HOTTEST PARTY2 version, this cut does not fade in or fade out.

Trivia

• D.A.N.C.E.'s vocals were provided by the London-based Foundation for Young Musicians children's choir. Justice chose Zadek-Ewing, the youngest member, to sing the lead vocal because "having the least skill meant he'd potentially have the most style".
• D.A.N.C.E.'s lyrics make extensive references to songs by Michael Jackson, including Black or White, a cover of which appears alongside D.A.N.C.E. in DanceDanceRevolution HOTTEST PARTY 2.
• D.A.N.C.E. received different graphics, its promotional video and a new set of charts in Dancing Stage UNIVERSE2, to match the new cut.
