Lyrics

DanceDanceRevolution HOTTEST PARTY2

...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

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

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 CS DDR HOTTEST PARTY2.
• D.A.N.C.E. received different graphics and a new set of charts in Dancing Stage UNIVERSE2.
• Dancing Stage UNIVERSE2 uses a different, slightly longer cut of D.A.N.C.E.. Unlike the HOTTEST PARTY2 version, this cut avoids using either a fade in or a fade out.
  • Additionally, Dancing Stage UNIVERSE2 contains different graphics and new stepcharts for D.A.N.C.E., including its only set of Doubles charts.
• D.A.N.C.E. uses its promotional video, which eliminates any on-screen dancers.
