Shut Up and Dance Lyrics

Oh don't you dare look back
Just keep your eyes on me
I said you're holding back
She said shut up and dance with me
This woman is my destiny
She said oh oh oh
Shut up and dance with me

    The line "This is my last chance" he probably was asked multiple times to dance by this very beautiful girl, he always said no. He knew that he wanted to but was shy and felt awkward. She took my arm, I don't know how it happened, he followed her, she did not want him to think about the other people on the floor, just keep your eyes on me and you'll be fine. As he danced with her he saw his future with this woman. A woman he could love and share his life with. He was a victim to the night as she was, as she liked him and wanted to hold back her feelings, which he had noticed probably through a glance at her eyes. Shut up and dance with me right now in this moment, nothing else matters. She made the first move, but is now holding back her feelings for him as they dance, she only wants to enjoy the now.

    A lonely guy is sitting on the floor at a school dance, when a very confident girl walks up and asks him to dance. They do! They both have a great time, and they end up as boyfriend and girlfriend!

    This song is about how a shy guy is at a party and meets this confident girl that doesn't want him to talk, but enjoy the moment and dance. While he's dancing with this girl he realizes that there was something special between them like it was fate that they met.


    There is this guy I like and recently found that he liked me. He fell in love with the nightcore version of this song with a certain picture to it. Later on he said that that song reminded him of me, so this song has been special for me and him :D
