About Dancing

"Dancing" is a song by Australian singer Kylie Minogue. It was released on 19 January 2018 by Darenote and BMG, as the lead single from her fourteenth studio album Golden (2018). Written by Minogue, Steve McEwan and Nathan Chapman, and produced by Sky Adams, "Dancing" was the singer's first material with BMG and Liberator, after finishing her contract with British label Parlophone two years prior. Musically, "Dancing" is a departure from her usual electronic dance sound, and adapts to country pop with elements of electronica and dance-pop. Lyrically, it talks about having fun and enjoying life, with death and time being incorporated into the song's themes. "Dancing" received critical acclaim from music critics, many whom praised the song's production and lyrical quality.

Upon its release on the parent album, certain critics had chosen it as a highlight. Commercially, the track reached the top twenty in regions such as Spain, Scotland, Hungary and Poland. It became the singer's 51st top-forty entry on the UK Singles Chart, and her 14th number-one hit on the US Dance Club Songs chart. Additionally, despite staying one week in the Top 50 in her native Australia, "Dancing" was certified gold by the Australian Recording Industry Association and silver by the British Phonographic Industry, denoting sales exceeding 35,000 and 200,000 units respectively. Directed by Sophie Muller, the music video features Minogue dancing and singing in several backdrops that were inspired by the Country and Western culture, such as the work of Dolly Parton, and used motifs and imagery revolving around death. To promote the single, Minogue performed the song on her Kylie Presents Golden tour, and at several gigs and shows including Ant & Dec's Saturday Night Takeaway, Sport Relief, the Echo Music Prize in Germany, and when she headlined Radio 2 Live in Hyde Park.
