“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[]
[Verse 1]
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 walking cardiac arrest
Red alert, I'm falling for you, call the paramedi-di-di-di-dics
[Pre-Chorus]
Now I, know just what I'm doing when I whine
My body like to keep a brother on his grind
Now I, now I know, baby, you don't mind
By the end of the song you'll be mi-i-i-i-ine
[Chorus]
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'll be the flyest dude in this party
Meet me on the floor, wrap your arms around 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 dont have to dance alone
[Verse 2]
Cleaner than an old school cherry Cadillac
My red dress hotter than the 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
[Pre-Chorus]
Now I, know just what I'm doing when I whine
My body like to keep a brother on his grind
Now I, now I know, baby, you don't mind
By the end of the song you'll be mi-i-i-i-ine
[Chorus]
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'll be the flyest dude in this party
Meet me on the floor, wrap your arms around 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 dont have to dance alone
[Bridge]
Tell me you don't gotta go
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?
[Chorus]
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'll be the flyest dude in this party
Meet me on the floor, wrap your arms around my body
So you don't have to dance alone
Don't wanna dance alone, dance alone, dance alone, yeah
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'll be the flyest dude in this party
Meet me on the floor, wrap your arms around my body
So you don't have to dance alone
Don't wanna dance alone, dance alone, dance alone, yeah
