"Dance No More" is a song by Harry Styles, released on 6 March 2026, as the tenth track on Styles' fourth album Kiss All the Time. Disco, Occasionally.[1] Styles wrote the song alongside Thomas "Kid Harpoon" Hull, who was the song's producer. It has been seen as a fan favorite of the album and has been highlighted in reviews.[2]
Composition and lyrics
"Dance No More" features lyrics such as "DJs don't dance no more" and "We wanna dance with all our friends."[1] The line "Be a good girl, go get it, Fox" refers to Kid Harpoon's son Fox.[1] As Styles stated in an interview with Zane Lowe:
I remember going out the first time in Berlin and standing in the middle of the dance floor and feeling so unbelievably free and safe, that I kind of just had my hands in the air and my eyes closed, so that I felt these tears streaming down my face. It was this moment of, like, 'I feel so alive right now.'
— Harry Styles, in Zane Lowe, Interview with Zane Lowe, [3]
Release and reception
Writing for Clash, Robin Murray called it simply a "brilliant call-and-response number".[4] In a review for Variety, Jem Aswad noted that it was an "outlier in the batch. With a funky groove, '80s synthesizer stabs, party noises", noting that "it has a loose, fun, carefree vibe found nowhere else on the album. It’s a prime early candidate for Song of the Summer 2026 — and, perfectly on brand for this album".[2]
