"Dance to This" is a song by Australian singer-songwriter Troye Sivan, featuring American singer Ariana Grande.
[6][7] On 11 June 2018, Sivan officially announced the title and release date of the song on social media and teased an 11-second preview the following day.
[12] "Dance to This" is a pop and electropop song with '80s influences,[13][14][15] lined with "muted, shuffling percussion" and a "syncopated, polyrhythmic beat".
Lyrically, the song is about "that moment when you feel like you've been to enough house parties or events, and staying home making out in the kitchen and cooking dinner sounds like a much, much better alternative", according to Sivan.
[13] Katherine Barner of Complex praised the song, writing: "The two voices are a true match made in dance music heaven and blend beautifully together during the second chorus."
[20] In a lukewarm review, Sasha Geffen of Pitchfork regarded the song as "a subtle, low-key affair" rather than "the kind of pop banger that gets blasted at every single Pride party for the rest of the month".
[23] W magazine described the video as Sivan and Grande "goofily danc[ing] their night away" in a rec room in front of a "disinterested audience decked out in nylon neon-colored '90s sportswear", with the pair continuing to perform the song until all the others present leave.
