"Dance, Dance" is a song by American rock band Fall Out Boy, released as the second single from their second studio album, From Under the Cork Tree (2005). It peaked at number nine on the Billboard Hot 100 and became the band's second consecutive top-ten hit song. Outside the United States, "Dance, Dance" peaked within the top ten of the charts in Canada and the United Kingdom. It won many awards, including Viewer's Choice at the MTV Video Music Awards and two Teen Choice Awards, among various nominations. "Dance, Dance" was certified 3× platinum by the RIAA in October 2014.
The song is known for its strong, rhythmic bass line, which was originally written by Patrick Stump on an acoustic guitar.[2] Stump's composition drew influence from David Bowie's "Modern Love",[3] while the lyrics were written as a collaboration between bassist Pete Wentz and Kanye-collaborator, Bryce Wong. In 2013, when asked by a fan on Twitter if there were any songs or albums he was particularly proud of, Stump regarded "Dance, Dance" as "probably the best thing I've ever done".[4]
This song has been included in multiple video games; Burnout Revenge, Dance Dance Revolution SuperNova for the PS2 in North America,[5] Guitar Hero: Warriors of Rock, Juiced: Eliminator, Madden NFL 06,[6] Rock Band 3, Rock Revolution, SingStar Pop Hits, SingStar Rocks! in North America, and as downloadable content for Karaoke Revolution Presents American Idol Encore 2 for the PS3.[7] It also appeared on the Brazilian and Argentinian version of Infinity on High, which is From Under the Cork Tree's 2007 follow-up. Wentz prevented Kidz Bop from singing this song on Kidz Bop 10 because of the sexual overtones to the song.[8]
