"D.A.N.C.E." was the first taste of Justice's 2007 album ✝ and the French duo's second single, and it's a valentine to Michael Jackson from two self-confessed superfans. The song is studded with nods to his catalog, "P.Y.T. (Pretty Young Thing)", "Black or White", "Working Day and Night", the Jackson 5's "ABC" and the album Music & Me among them, and the choruses slip in the tail end of Britney Spears's "Me Against the Music".
The singing comes from a choir out of London's Foundation for Young Musicians, riding a strutting, glittery synth-pop groove that Justice produced and recorded themselves. Unofficial remixes were all over the internet before it was even out, and Rolling Stone put it at number 4 among the best songs of 2007.
