Dancing Queen
Regine Velasquez Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Ooh, oh
Friday night and the lights are low
Looking out for a place to go
Where they play the right music
Getting in the swing
You come in to look for a king

Anybody could be that guy
Night is young and the music's high
With a bit of rock music everything is fine
You're in the mood for a dance
And when you get the chance

You are the dancing queen
Young and sweet, only seventeen
Dancing queen feel the beat of the tambourine, oh yeah

You can dance, you can jive
Having the time of your life
Ooh, see that girl
Watch that scene dig in the dancing queen

You're a teaser, you turn 'em on
Leave 'em burning and then you're gone
Looking out for another
Anyone will do
You're in the mood for a dance
And when you get the chance

You are the dancing queen
Young and sweet, only seventeen
Dancing queen feel the beat of the tambourine, oh yeah

You can dance, you can jive
Having the time of your life
Ooh, see that girl
Watch that scene dig in the dancing queen

Dig in the dancing queen, oh yeah
Dancing queen
(Dance with me, I want to be your partner)
Dancing Queen
(Dance with me, I want to be your partner)
Dancing queen
(Dance with me, I want to be your partner)
Dancing queen
Dig in the dancing queen
Dancing queen
(Dance with me)
Dance with me
(Dance with me)




Dig in the dancing queen
Dancing queen ['till fade)

Overall Meaning

Regine Velasquez's song Dancing Queen is an upbeat and catchy tune that speaks of the excitement one feels when they are out looking for a good night out. The song begins with the portrayal of the common Friday night experience: the lights are low, and you're in search of the perfect place that plays the right music - the music that will surely get you into the swing of things. As you come in, you're looking for 'that guy' and the night is young, and the music is loud, and everything feels just right. The song is reflective of teenage experiences, where the main focus is on dancing and having a good time. The line "With a bit of rock music, everything is fine" speaks to how music can just make everything in life feel better, and with good music, any night could turn out to be a memorable one.


The chorus of the song is all about the titular 'dancing queen,' who is young, sweet and only seventeen. This line captures the essence of youthful exuberance, which is such a critical aspect of the teenage experience that is all about living life to the fullest. The singing brings out the spirit of the dance where the music and the beat of the tambourine are in sync with the queen's moves, and the scene is livelier like never before. The song speaks of the queen's ability to turn on those around her with her teasing but then moves on to find someone new to dance with. The song ends with the repetition of the line "Dancing Queen," a final affirmation of the life of the party, the queen of the dance floor.

Friday night and the lights are low
Looking out for the place to go
Where they play the right music, getting in the swing
You come in to look for a king
Anybody could be that guy
Night is young and the music's high
With a bit of rock music, everything is fine
You're in the mood for a dance
And when you get the chance...

You are the Dancing Queen, young and sweet, only seventeen
Dancing Queen, feel the beat from the tambourine
You can dance, you can jive, having the time of your life
See that girl, watch that scene, digging the Dancing Queen

You're a teaser, you turn 'em on
Leave them burning and then you're gone
Looking out for another, anyone will do
You're in the mood for a dance
And when you get the chance...

You are the Dancing Queen, young and sweet, only seventeen
Dancing Queen, feel the beat from the tambourine
You can dance, you can jive, having the time of your life
See that girl, watch that scene, digging the Dancing QueenπŸ’•
