"It Makes You Feel Like Dancin'" by Rose Royce is a disco classic that has infectious grooves and a funky beat that makes you want to get up and dance. The song is all about the power of music and the way it can make you feel. The lyrics begin by welcoming the listener to the disco with the backing groove provided by Rose Royce, the People's Choice. The song simply states that it makes you feel like dancing, and that it doesn't hurt, it feels good. The song encourages everyone on the dance floor to show what they're looking for by raising their hands and asking for more. The catchy refrain is repeated throughout the song, jokingly warning that it makes you feel like dancing, but it doesn't hurt, it feels good.
The song is a celebration of the freedom and joy that dance and music can bring. It encourages people to let loose, have fun, and enjoy themselves.
