If the World Just Danced

"If the World Just Danced" is a song recorded by American singer Diana Ross for her twenty-fifth studio album Thank You (2021).

Alexis Petridis of The Guardian called the song "a frightful bit anaemic pop-house", which, in his opinion, "is so humiliating for Diana Ross that she probably had to wear a diving helmet during the recording".

[1] Reviewer Alex Jeffrey of musicOMH also gave a negative assessment of the single, which he believes is "more than half about what Ross' gay audience might want from her today."

Nevertheless, he noted Ross's voice, "most of which has changed with age, and fits comfortably into the good-natured dance atmosphere without trying too hard to be spectacular".

[6] Steve Govoritz of PopMatters wrote that "the song seems static and tired, despite the dance rhythms", and although "Ross carefully pronounces the words, but she does not put feelings into them".
