Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Everybody call me dancin' queen
人影の無いオフィス街 真夜中
ビルディングの窓ガラスミラーにして
倒れてしまうまで 日が昇りはじめるまで
Steppin' out
I'll keep steppin' out
体中を波打つビート
Poppin' my body
I'll keep poppin' my body
エキサイトし過ぎてオーバー・ヒート
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
What a, what a, what a
What a feelin'
気分がハイになる
What a feelin'
やめられなくなる
What a feelin'
Show the world the best of me
Someday put my name in lights
抜け出す為 また登り詰める為
すり切れたシューズ見つめて
I'm proud myself
誰よりもかがやける様に
誰の心も照らせる様に
Steppin' out
I'll keep steppin' out
体中を波打つビート
Poppin' my body
I'll keep poppin' my body
エキサイトし過ぎてオーバー・ヒート
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
What a, what a, what a
What a feelin'
気分がハイになる
What a feelin'
やめられなくなる
Forth! Forth! And forth! Forth! And Forth!
Get on up! Get on up! Get on up! Get on up!
Forth! Forth! And forth! Forth! And Forth!
Get on up! Get on up! Get on up! Get on up!
Mama said 踊りなさい
いつでも最後のステージかのように
What a, what a, what a
What a feelin'
気分がハイになる
What a feelin'
やめられなくなる
What a feelin'
気分がハイになる
What a feelin'
やめられなくなる
What a feelin'

The song starts off with Amuro proclaiming her love for dancing and being called the "dancing queen" by everyone around her.

Amuro’s desire to be the best, to show the world what she's made of, and to someday have her name in lights motivates her to keep pushing herself. She is determined to break free from the exhaustion of her worn-out shoes and go further every day, vowing to shine brighter than anyone else and illuminate the hearts of others. The song ends with Amuro urging herself to keep dancing, to always perform as if it's her last stage, and to never stop feeling the exhilaration of dancing.

当時、レトロっぽさと近未来感という、相反する要素がミックスされていて、楽曲とファッションの絶妙なセンスがカッコ良かった!

初めてこのPVを見た時、見事な返り咲きどころか、もの凄い桜吹雪が舞ってるみたいだと鳥肌全開になったのを覚えてます

多分1番リピしてると思う。
なんか、勝手な妄言だけどROCKSTEADYでママに認めてもらうために飛び出して、ここの最後でママにいつでも踊りなさいってなる流れが好き。

安室ちゃんのダンスって肩の力が抜けてて何気なく踊ってるように見えて好き。だからといってダンスそのものが適当なわけじゃないし、変にイキった感じもないし、計算されたゆるっと感とでも言いましょうか…
この曲のダンスの振り付けが特にそう感じられて見るたびに好き…❤️ってなる。PVの雰囲気も大好き。いろんなカメラワークがあったけど、安室ちゃんのダンスだけひたすら追いかけるカメラワークであのPVの世界観のままを見てみたいなー。
