DNCE is the only studio album by American band DNCE. It was released through Republic Records on November 18, 2016. The album features a sole guest appearance from Kent Jones. Production was handled by Ilya, Rami Yacoub, Albin Nedler, Kristoffer Fogelmark, Mattman & Robin, OzGo, Oscar Holter, Sir Nolan, Mailbox, and Aaron Zuckerman. It includes three out of four songs from their debut EP, Swaay (2015). DNCE is a dance-pop album with influences of new wave, dance-rock, disco, and alternative pop.[1][2] Production was handled by a variety of record producers, such as Ilya Salmanzadeh, Rami Yacoub, Mattman & Robin, Justin Tranter, and Sir Nolan.[2][3]

Upon release, the album was met with generally positive reviews from music critics, who praised lead singer Joe Jonas' maturity and the band's mainstream appeal.[4] DNCE debuted in the top 20 on the Billboard 200, but performed only moderately well on the album charts in other countries, earning its highest international peak in Australia at number 32.[5][6] Three out of four songs from the album's predecessor, Swaay, are included on the album: singles "Cake by the Ocean" and "Toothbrush", as well as "Pay My Rent", while "Jinx" appears on the Japanese edition. The lead and only single of the album, "Body Moves", was released on September 30, 2016.
