Juicy J included an audio sample of himself in the song, from his prior work with Three 6 Mafia on the song, "Mafia Niggaz". The song was originally included on the bonus track version of Juicy J's mixtape "Blue Dream & Lean". It only features himself on the song. The official remix was released on November 13, 2012, with guest appearances by French Montana, Wiz Khalifa, B.o.B and LoLa Monroe.
The music video, directed by J.R.Saint, premiered on MTV Jams on September 23, 2012 and features cameo appearances by Mike Will Made It and Project Pat. Alexis Texas appears in the music video wearing a t-shirt for adult film website Brazzers. She told Adam22 it was an enjoyable filming experience on the "Bandz a Make Her Dance" music video. Texas stated Juicy J was nervous to approach her and talk to her on the film set. She said 2 Chainz was present during her film shoot and he was respectful and kind to her during the production process. Her scenes were shot in an actual strip club; she performed a solo couch dance for the music video. Miami Northwestern Senior High School marching band members were featured in the music video; school district administrators voiced concerns over the usage in the video. According to the school district, administrators were informed it would be a music video featuring a drum line. The school district attempted to stop sales of the music video, asking Sony Music Entertainment and Kemosabe Records to halt the distribution. The music video's producer, Mahad Dar, sued Juicy J. in 2014 in United States District Court for the Central District of California; in his lawsuit he stated he was not paid under a "work for hire" agreement for his work on the production.
"Bandz A Make Her Dance" was released in May 2012 by Juicy J. In June 2012, he posted a link to Twitter of the remix version. The song quickly found success at dance clubs. Popularity on hip-hop and R&B radio stations followed soon after. By September 29, 2012, the song had reached number 11 on Billboard Rap Songs list and number 14 on their Hip-Hop Songs chart, and sold 39,000 copies as reported by Nielsen SoundScan. The track debuted at number 26 on the list of Streaming Songs by Billboard on January 26, 2013.

Bandz a make her dance, bandz a make her dance
Bandz a make her dance, bandz a make her dance
Bandz a make her dance, bandz a make her dance
Bandz a make her dance, bandz a make her dance
All these chicks popping pussy, I'm just popping bandz
Bandz a make her dance, bandz a make her dance
Bandz a make her dance, bandz a make her dance
All these chicks popping pussy, I'm just popping bandz
Bandz a make her dance, bandz a make her dance
These chicks clappin', and they ain't using hands
Short hair, like Nia Long, loose ones, she don't need a loan
Start twerking when she hear her song, stripper pole her income
We get trippy and then some, so nasty when she rollin'
She put that ass up in my hands, I remote control it! (Yeah ho)
She give me dome when the roof gone, at the K.O.D. she leave with me
She got friends, bring three, I got drugs, I got drinks
Bend it over, Juicy J gon' poke it like wet paint
You say no to ratchet pussy, Juicy J can't
Racks errwhere, they showin' racks, I'm throwing racks
In the V.I.P, rubber on I'm stretching that
Rich niggas tippin', broke niggas lookin'
And it ain't a strip club if they ain't showin' pussy
Bandz a make her dance, bandz a make her dance
All these chicks popping pussy, I'm just popping bandz
Bandz a make her dance, bandz a make her dance
These chicks clappin', and they ain't using hands (baby)
Bandz a make her dance, bandz a make her dance
All these chicks popping pussy, I'm just popping bandz
(Juicy I got you) bandz a make her dance, bandz a make her dance
These chicks clappin', and they ain't using hands
Uh, pop that pussy for a real nigga
Pull out my black card, that's my lil' nigga
Make a movie with your bitch, Steven Spiel nigga
Smoking on Keysh' Col', gimme me chills nigga
What's your real name? And not your stripper name
I make it rain on ya, like a windowpane
Bandz a make her dance, Tunechi make her cum
Hit-it-from-the-side-like-a-mother-fucking-bass-drum!
Two hoes on one fucking pole, two hoes on my fucking pole
I don't tip, I pay bills, bitches call me buffalo
Her stomach in and her ass out
I'm flyer than the ones they pass out
If money grow on trees, I branched out
I'm just waiting on my bitch to cash out (Ha ha)
Bandz a make her dance, bandz a make her dance
All these chicks popping pussy, I'm just popping bandz
Bandz a make her dance, bandz a make her dance

All these chicks popping pussy, I'm just popping bandz
Bandz a make her dance, bandz a make her dance
These chicks clappin', and they ain't using hands (2 Chainz!)
2 Chainz, four bracelets
Let me see that ass clap, standing ovation (True!)
If yo girl don't swallow kids, man that ho basic
Got two bitches wit me, take a shot at one ho, using her friend for a chaser

Money talk, you ain't got none, end of discussion! (Damn!)

(Pocket full of money) Money!
Young nigga gettin' head while tha engine runnin' (Ergh!)
Let me see you wiggle, do it for a real nigga (Yea!)

Ballin' in my coupe, call it sports car
Drop the top and freaky treat that bitch just like a pornstar!
Bandz a make her dance, bandz a make her dance
All these chicks popping pussies, I'm just popping bandz

The lyrics of Juicy J's "Bandz a Make Her Dance" paint a vivid picture of the world of strip clubs and how the allure of money, represented by "bandz" (bundles of dollar bills), motivates some women to "dance" (perform exotic dances) for money. The first stanza repeats the song's title, emphasizing the power money has to make women want to dance. The second stanza emphasizes the sheer number of women at the strip club, all competing for the opportunity to earn money by dancing. The line "These chicks clappin', and they ain't using hands" refers to the sound of a woman's body hitting the stage as she performs acrobatic dance moves, indicating that the dancing is highly physical and athletic.
The third stanza describes the persona's experiences with strippers, including descriptions of their body types and dance moves. The line "She put that ass up in my hands, I remote control it!" suggests that the persona has a dominant role in the interaction, manipulating the dancer's body as if it were a machine. The fourth stanza further explores the persona's experiences with the strip club scene, including drug and alcohol use, sexual encounters in the club, and the competition between rich and poor men for the attention of the dancers. The repeated emphasis on the power of "bandz" to motivate these interactions highlights the dark side of the strip club world, where money and objectification can consume and cheapen human interactions.
