Dancing Queen
Steps Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Looking out for a place to go
Where they play the right music
Getting in the swing
You come to look for a king
Anybody could be that guy
Night is young and the music's high
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, diggin' the dancing queen
You're a teaser, you turn them on
Leave them burning and then you're gone
Looking out for another, any one 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, diggin' the dancing queen
Diggin' the dancing queen
You can dance, you can jive
Having the time of your life
See that girl, watch that scene, diggin' the dancing queen
Oh yeah
Diggin' the dancing queen
Watch that girl
Oh yeah
Diggin' the dancing queen
Just dig the dancing queen
Just dig the dancing queen
Oh yea
The song "Dancing Queen" by Steps is an upbeat and joyful tribute to the power of music and dance. In the lyrics, the singer is on the hunt for a good time, seeking out a place where the "right music" is played, so she can "get in the swing" and "look for a king". There is a sense of excitement and anticipation in the lyrics, with references to the young age of the singer ("only seventeen") and the thrill of the night ("the music's high"). The chorus of the song is catchy and memorable, with an infectious beat and the repeated exhortation that the singer is the "Dancing Queen" and is "having the time of her life".
The verses in the song refer to the singer's magnetic appeal and allure, with suggestions that she is a "teaser" who can "turn them on" and then leave them wanting more. Despite this suggestion of sexual prowess, the overall tone of the song is one of fun and irreverence - there is a sense that the singer is simply out to enjoy herself and that the world is her dance floor. The upbeat tempo of the song, along with the use of instruments such as the tambourine, only add to this sense of joyful abandon.
Overall, "Dancing Queen" is a song that celebrates the power of music to uplift and inspire, as well as the limitless potential of youth. It has become a classic dance song and is beloved by music fans of all ages.
