Chronology

Dance Alone is the second single from Keke Palmer. It was released on YouTube on August 27, 2012, on Keke's birthday, along with a music video.

“The song is saying I’m trying to get this guy, I don’t want to dance alone, come dance with me,” explained Keke. “It has a bit of an influence of ‘The Way You Make Me Feel’ by Michael Jackson. The song has a very masculine feel to it, so I thought it was important to capture that visually in my dance moves and in the way that I look, yet still finding a way to be feminine. It’s me chasing this guy who isn’t totally feeling me, so it’s kind of like I’m trying to feel him out and show him how I am to get him to come dance with me.”

Lyrics

Boy you got my heart be-be-beating out my chest
Hotter than the bass when I drop it like th-th-th-that
Something like a walk-in cardiac arrest
Glad I learned I’m falling for ya call the paramedi-di-di-di-dics

Now I, know just what I’m doing when I whine
My body like to keep a brother on the side
Now I, now I know baby you don’t mind
By the end of the song you’ll be mi-i-i-i-ine

Boy don’t let me dance alone
Ba-ba-baby don’t let the music die-ie-ie
Boy don’t let me dance alone
Ba-ba-baby put your hands in the sky-y-y
You could be the fliest dude in this party
Meet me on the floor wrap your arms round my body
So you don’t have to dance alone

Don’t wanna dance alone, dance alone, dance alone
Yeah
Dance alone, dance alone, no, dance alone, you don’t have to dance alone

Meaner than an old school cherry Cadillac
My red dress hotter than that engine on fi-i-i-i-re
I’m bouncing up and down like hydraulics
Energizer bunny got you going, going hi-i-i-i-higher

Now I, know just what I’m doing when I whine
My body like to keep a brother on the side
Now I, now I know baby you don’t mind
By the end of this song you’ll be mi-i-i-i-ine

Boy don’t let me dance alone
Ba-ba-baby don’t let the music die-ie-ie
Boy don’t let me dance alone
Ba-ba-baby put your hands in the sky
You could be the fliest dude in this party
Meet me on the floor, wrap your arms round my body
So you don’t have to dance alone

Don’t wanna dance alone, dance alone, dance alone
Yeah
Dance alone, dance alone, no, dance alone, you don’t have to da-da-da-da-da-da-da-dance alone
Dance alone, no, dance alone, you don’t have to dance alone

Tell me you don’t got a girl, you could be my boyfriend
Baby tell me what you say, say, say, say
Let’s just keep on dancing
Dancing like my boyfriend
Baby tell me what you say, say, say

Boy don’t let me dance alone
Ba-ba-baby don’t let the music die (don’t let me dance alone)
Boy don’t let me dance alone
Ba-ba-baby put your hands in the sky (skyyyyy)
You could be the fliest dude in this party (fliest dude in the partayyyy)
Meet me on the floor, wrap your arms round my body (arms round my body)
So you don’t have to dance alone (don’t have to dance, don’t have to dance alone)
Don’t wanna dance alone, dance alone, dance alone

Boy don’t let me dance alone
Ba-ba-baby don’t let the music die-ie-ie (let the music die-ie-ie)
Boy don’t let me dance alone (don’t let me dance alone)
Ba-ba-baby put your hands in the sky (up in the skyyy)
You could be the fliest dude in this party
Meet me on the floor, wrap your arms round my body
So you don’t have to dance alone
Don’t wanna dance alone, dance alone, dance alone
Yeah
Don’t wanna dance alone
Don’t wanna dance alone, dance alone
