Lyrics
The lines marked with an asterisk (*) are only present on the HOTTEST PARTY2 cut of D.A.N.C.E., which fades out at the end when the line "The way you move is a mystery" is sung. The UNIVERSE2 cut of the song (marked with ※), the line "That's how you make it right!" is sung instead and doesn't fade out.
* ..Just easy as A.B.C 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 The way you move is a mystery 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 spotlight 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 use a fade in or a 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 music video, and a new set of charts in Dancing Stage UNIVERSE2 to match the new cut.
- Its music video eliminates all on-screen dancers.
