"Dance Again" was scheduled to be used to promote CBS Sports and Turner Sports' coverage of the 2020 NCAA tournament. However, the song was never used, as the tournament was cancelled over concerns of the COVID-19 pandemic. Gomez announced that a portion of the proceeds from "Dance Again" would go towards the MusiCares COVID-19 Relief Fund.
The song received a video titled "Dance Again (Performance Video)" which was directed by Craig Murray and released on March 26, 2020.
Dance Again
Selena Gomez Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
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)
