Watch Your Step
Disclosure Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I've been workin' and I spent my time
Dreamin' about how I could ease my mind
Breakin' dance, feels like I can fly
Give me some space so I can close my eyes

I don't look in the crowd
Baby, even when the lights go down
I like to dance like I'm alone in the room
I'm here tonight, baby, to do what I do, yeah

You make me watch your step when you move
You make me watch your step when you move
You make me watch your step when you move
Now what you're doing's making me move with you

I'm free tonight, don't want this to end
I'm here alone and you can leave your friends
Breakin' dance and we don't pretend
Chain linked together, now our rhythms bend

I don't look in the crowd
Baby, even when the lights go down
I like to dance like I'm alone in the room
I'm here tonight, baby, to do what I do, yeah

You make me watch your step when you move (watch your step when you move)
You make me watch your step when you move (watch your step when you move)
You make me watch your step when you move (watch your step when you move)
Now what you're doing's making me move with you

You make me watch your step when you move
You make me watch your step when you move
You make me watch your step when you move (watch your step when you move)
Now what you're doing's making me move with you

(With you, with you)
(With you, with you)
(With you, with you)

(Watch your step when you move)
Now what you're doing's making me move with you

I don't look in the crowd
Baby, even when the lights come down
I like to dance like I'm alone in the room
I'm here tonight, baby, to do what I do, yeah

You make me watch your step when you move (watch your step when you move)
You make me watch your step when you move (watch your step when you move)
You make me watch your step when you move (watch your step when you move)
Now what you're doing's making me move with you

(With you, with you)

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Disclosure's "Watch Your Step" describe the desire to escape from the stress and chaos of daily life and find peace on the dance floor. The singer in the song has been working hard and dreaming of a way to ease their mind, and they find that release through dancing. They proclaim that they like to dance as if they are alone in the room, allowing the music to take over and transport them to another world. The presence of others on the dance floor doesn't matter; in fact, the singer doesn't even look at the crowd. All their attention is focused on the music and the feeling it creates.


The chorus of the song centers on the power of another person's movement to influence the singer's own. The phrase "You make me watch your step when you move" is repeated multiple times, emphasizing the way that someone else's dancing can be so captivating and entrancing that it becomes impossible to look away. The singer feels as if they are linked to the other person, moving in harmony with them as if they are connected by a chain. It's a powerful reminder of the way that music and dance can bring people together, even if they have never met before.
