Dance Again
Gomez Selena Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Happiness
Ain't something you sit back and you wait for
Mm-mm, ah-ah
Confidence
Is throwing your heart through every brick wall
Mm-mm, ah-ah

I kick-start the rhythm
All the trauma's in remission
No, I don't need permission

Feels so, feels so, feels so good to dance again
Feels so, feels so, feels so good to dance again
With my emotions undressed, I'm going in
With everything
To dance again
Feels so, feels so, feels so good

Vulnerable
Ain't easy, believe me, but I do it
Mm-mm, ah-ah
It's like I'm ten feet tall
I'm high off the weight of them shoulders
Mm-mm, ah-ah

I kick-start the rhythm
All the trauma's in remission
No, I don't need permission
I kick-start my system
When I speak, my body listens
I know what I'm missing

Feels so, feels so, feels so good to dance again
Feels so, feels so, feels so good to dance again
With my emotions undressed, I'm going in
With everything
To dance again
Feels so, feels so, feels so good

Ooh (ah), (ooh)
I'm feeling
Ooh (ah), (ooh)
Me again
Ooh (ah), (ooh)
Feels so good to dance again (ah)
Feels so, feels so, feels so good

(So, so, so good)

Happiness
Ain't something you sit back and you wait for
Feels so, feels so, feels so good to dance again (ah)

Feels so, feels so, feels so good to dance again
With my emotions undressed, I'm going in (going in)
With everything (everything)
To dance again
Feels so, feels so, feels so good

I kick-start the rhythm (ooh)
All the trauma's in remission (ooh I'm feeling)
Mmm (ooh, ah) mmm (me again)
I kick-start the rhythm (ooh, ah)




All the trauma's in remission (ooh, I'm feeling)
Mmm (ooh, ah) feels so, feels so, feels so good

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to "Dance Again" by Selena Gomez convey a powerful message of personal empowerment and resilience. The song opens by suggesting that happiness is not something that can be passively waited for; instead, it is something that can be actively pursued and attained. Similarly, confidence is portrayed as the ability to throw one's heart through every brick wall, symbolizing the courage to face and overcome obstacles.


The chorus expresses the joy and liberation that comes from dancing again, both literally and metaphorically. By kick-starting the rhythm, the singer is able to put the trauma behind and find healing. The line "No, I don't need permission" emphasizes a sense of autonomy and self-determination, indicating that the singer is taking control of their own happiness and healing process.


The second verse further explores the theme of vulnerability. While acknowledging that vulnerability isn't easy, the singer chooses to embrace it. They feel empowered and uplifted, as if they are ten feet tall, and find strength in carrying the weight of their own burdens. The repetition of "I kick-start the rhythm" highlights the singer's determination to move forward and heal.
