Dua Lipa – Dance The Night

“Dance the Night” – Single by Dua Lipa from the album Barbie: The Album. Released May 25, 2023.

In April 2023, it was announced that Dua Lipa had joined the cast of Greta Gerwig’s upcoming fantasy comedy film Barbie. She recorded original music for the film’s soundtrack, Barbie: The Album. On 22 May 2023, Lipa announced its lead single, “Dance the Night”, would be released on 26 May. This marked her first musical output since the conclusion of her Future Nostalgia (2020) album release cycle.

“Dance the Night” is two minutes and 56 seconds long. Andrew Wyatt, Mark Ronson, and the Picard Brothers produced the song. Wyatt plays bass and synthesizer, Ronson plays guitar and Rhodes piano, the Picard Brothers play keyboards and programmed it with its engineer Brandon Bost. It features cello, violin, and viola in its instrumentation, and it was mixed by Serban Ghenea with assistance from Bryce Bordone.

The accompanying music video for “Dance the Night” was released alongside the song. It features a cameo appearance of Barbie director Greta Gerwig, and clips from the film featuring Margot Robbie, Issa Rae, Emma Mackey, and other cast members. The video has a pink set, and Lipa learns new choreography in it after discovering a disco ball that had been ordered for the shoot has collapsed to the ground. She dances atop a huge Barbie heel, and the cameos occur during a disco party, after which Gerwig vacates her director’s chair to praise Lipa’s performance and question the events that led up to the disco ball’s destruction.
