Dance Like Nobody's Watching
Family Force 5 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Look in the mirror don't even try
Something is changing, it feels amazing
And I got no reason to hide
My legs started shaking
Man, there ain't no faking
All these moves that I'm making
And I look to my left
And I look to my right
Not a soul in sight
I'm gonna dance like nobody's watching
Nobody's watching
So I'll dance like I don't even care
I'm gonna move like it's not an option
I put my hands in the air, keep 'em there
Gonna dance like nobody's watching
It's who I am
This is how I dance
It's who I am
Dance like nobody's watching
You don't like my style, I don't feel bad
When you see me work it, does it make you mad
You think I'm reckless, I couldn't care less
I'm the best friend that you never had
I can teach you how to shake it
Man, you cannot fake it
All these moves that we're making
With all these rules that we're breaking
Look to my left
And I look to my right
I am by your side
I'm gonna dance like nobody's watching
Nobody's watching
So I'll dance like I don't even care
I'm gonna move like it's not an option
I put my hands in the air, keep 'em there
Gonna dance like nobody's watching
It's who I am
This is how I dance
It's who I am
Dance like nobody's watching
I don't even care if the world is watching
If they don't like it, that's their problem
Everybody dance like nobody's watching
Nobody's watching
We can dance like we don't even care
We're gonna move like it's not an option
Let's put our hands in the air, keep 'em there
Dance like nobody's watching
This is our chance
Everybody dance
This is our chance
Dance like nobody's watching
The lyrics of Family Force 5's Dance Like Nobody's Watching convey a message about breaking free from society's expectations and fully embracing one's unique individuality. The song encourages listeners to let go of their inhibitions and dance like nobody is watching. The lyrics emphasize that it's not about pleasing others or conforming to societal norms; it's about being true to oneself and embracing one's unique style.
The first verse describes the internal struggle of the singer, who used to feel nervous and lacking confidence. However, something has shifted, and they now feel empowered and liberated. The chorus emphasizes the freedom to dance without judgment or self-consciousness, and the bridge speaks to the defiance of societal norms and the importance of unapologetically being oneself.
The song's upbeat and infectious melody encourages people to let loose and have fun. Family Force 5's approach to celebrating individuality and self-expression extends beyond the lyrics to the music video, where a diverse group of people dance to the song in various colorful and creative outfits.

I used to get nervous inside
In the past, I used to feel anxious internally
Look in the mirror don't even try
When I looked at myself, I couldn't even attempt to dance
Something is changing, it feels amazing
A great feeling is happening due to a shift in myself
And I got no reason to hide
I don't have any motive to conceal who I genuinely am
My legs started shaking
My legs began to tremble
Man, there ain't no faking
I'm being genuine and can't pretend
All these moves that I'm making
I'm executing all these dance moves
With all these rules that I'm breaking
I'm disregarding all the dance rules
And I look to my left
I gaze to my left side
And I look to my right
I glance to my right side
Not a soul in sight
There is nobody around me
I'm gonna dance like nobody's watching
I will dance as if nobody is staring at me
Nobody's watching
There is no audience observing
So I'll dance like I don't even care
I will dance as if I don't have any worries
I'm gonna move like it's not an option
I will dance as if it's mandatory and beyond my control
I put my hands in the air, keep 'em there
I raise my arms and leave them up high
Gonna dance like nobody's watching
I will continue dancing in anonymity without being observed
It's who I am
This is my real identity
This is how I dance
This depicts the way I dance
You don't like my style, I don't feel bad
If you don't appreciate how I dance, I don't feel regretful
When you see me work it, does it make you mad
Are you getting angry when you see me dance?
You think I'm reckless, I couldn't care less
You regard me as careless, but I don't care
I'm the best friend that you never had
I'm the greatest pal you have never seen
I can teach you how to shake it
I can demonstrate how to dance amazingly
Man, you cannot fake it
You can't feign or pretend to be doing it
All these moves that we're making
We are performing all these dance steps
With all these rules that we're breaking
We are defying all the dance norms
Look to my left
I lookup towards my left
And I look to my right
I look past my right
I am by your side
I am standing close to your vicinity
I don't even care if the world is watching
I'm oblivious of the fact that people around the globe might be watching me dance
If they don't like it, that's their problem
If someone dislikes my dance, it's their issue, not mine
Everybody dance like nobody's watching
All of us should dance as if no one is viewing
We can dance like we don't even care
We can dance as if we don't have any worries
Let's put our hands in the air, keep 'em there
Let's raise our arms and leave them up high
This is our chance
This is the opportunity we have been given
Everybody dance
Everyone, let's dance
Dance like nobody's watching
Let's all dance without being observed
