She Wants to Dance with Me

"She Wants to Dance with Me" is a song written and recorded by English singer-songwriter Rick Astley, released as the lead single from his second studio album, Hold Me in Your Arms (1988).

[1] Astley was given the go-ahead to compose the first single from his second album, after rejecting producers Stock Aitken Waterman's intended lead track, "Nothing Can Divide Us"—which was then given to Jason Donovan.

The original recording of this song is performed in the key of F# major in a moderate tempo of 117 beats per minute.

[22] Celebrating the announcement of the Hold Me in Your Arms remastered edition studio album, the music video has been upgraded to 4K as of 29 March 2023.

[23][24] The single was also reissued as a digital EP on the same day, which also includes the "reimagined" version from Astley's compilation album The Best of Me.
