Never Gonna Not Dance Again
P!nk Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

If someone told me that
The world would end tonight
You could take all that I got, for once
I wouldn't start a fight (yeah, right)

You could have my liquor
Take my dinner, take my fun
My birthday cake, my soul, my dog
Take everything I love

But, oh, one thing I'm never gonna do
Is throw away my dancin' shoes and
Oh, Lord, don't try me, really, not tonight

I'll lay down and die
I'll scream, and I'll cry
We've already wasted enough time

I'm never gonna not dance again
I'm never gonna not dance again
Oh, I just wanna pop and lock to my records
There go all of my clothes
Never gonna not dance again (oh)

D-d-d-dance, I'm gonna dance, bruh
D-d-d-dance, I'm gonna dance

I want my life to be a
Whitney Houston song (I wanna dance)
I got all good luck and zero fucks
Don't care if I belong, no

If I could kill the thing
That makes us all so dumb
We're never getting younger
So, I'm gonna have some fun

'Cause, oh, one thing I'm never gonna do
Is throw away my dancin' shoes and
Oh, Lord, don't try me, really, not tonight

I'll lay down and die (I'll lay down and die)
I'll scream, and I'll cry (I'll scream, and I'll cry)
Know that I'm starting a fight

I'm never gonna not dance again
I'm never gonna not dance again
Oh, I just wanna pop and lock to my records
There go all of my clothes
Never gonna not dance again (yeah)

D-d-d-dance, I'm gonna dance, bruh
D-d-d-dance, I'm gonna dance
D-d-d-dance, I'm gonna dance, yeah
D-d-d-dance

I'll lay down and die
I'll scream and I'll cry
You know that I'm starting a fight (fight)

I'll lay down and die
I'll scream and I'll cry
We've already wasted enough time
We've already wasted enough time, oh

I'm never gonna not dance again
I'm never gonna not dance again
Oh, I just wanna pop and lock to my records
There go all of my clothes
Never gonna not dance again (hey, hey)

I'm never gonna not dance again (never gonna not dance again)
Dance again (let the music play 'til the end)
Dance again (never gonna not dance again)
Dance again (so let the music play 'til the end)

Dance again (hey, I'm never gonna not dance again)
Dance again (so let the music play 'til the end, let it play)
Dance again (I'm never gonna not dance again, yeah, oh-oh)
So let the music play 'til the end (c'mon, c'mon)

I'm never gonna not dance again
So let the music play 'til the end (yeah, yeah)
I'm never gonna not dance again
So let the music play 'til the end

Why'd it stop?

Overall Meaning

P!nk's song "Never Gonna Not Dance Again" is a passionate anthem about the importance of dance in the face of adversity, a celebration of joy and perseverance in the face of life's struggles. In the first verse, the singer expresses a willingness to give up everything she has if the world were to end tonight. She declares that she is not one to start a fight, but also emphasizes that she will never give up her dancing shoes, no matter what. In the pre-chorus, she says that even if she were to lay down and die or scream and cry, she refuses to give up dancing. The chorus is a declaration and assertion of her love for dance: "I'm never gonna not dance again / I just wanna pop and lock to my records / Never gonna not dance again".


The second verse similarly emphasizes the importance of living life to the fullest and having fun, despite the dumb things that can distract us. The bridge sees the singer repeat her commitment to never giving up on dance, declaring that she is ready to fight for it, and in the final chorus, she urges the music to continue playing until the end so that she can continue to dance.


"Never Gonna Not Dance Again" is a joyous song, filled with P!nk's signature impassioned vocals and potent lyrics. It is a celebration of fun and a call to embrace the present moment, reminding us that sometimes it's important to let go of our worries and responsibilities and simply dance.
