The single was released on April 23, 2007. The song features a children’s choir from the UK.
According to the band, they are huge Michael Jackson fans and therefore decided to dedicate this song to him. The song references numerous Michael Jackson songs including “P.Y.T.

Vocals are provided by the London based Foundation for Young Musicians choir.
A music video for “D.A.N.C.E.” was shot by French directorial duo Jonas & François with animation by So Me. The video was nominated for the 2007 MTV Video Music Award “Video of the Year.”
The song was #4 on Rolling Stone’s list of the 100 Best Songs of 2007.
