"Dance the Night" is a song by Dua Lipa (pictured) from the soundtrack

to the 2023 fantasy comedy film Barbie. Lipa co-wrote the song with

songwriter Caroline Ailin and its producers Andrew Wyatt and Mark

Ronson. A disco, disco-pop, and synth-pop song with influences of dance-

pop, it was inspired by a dance sequence in the film and is about always

appearing perfect externally. Music critics overwhelmingly compared the

sound of "Dance the Night" to Lipa's album Future Nostalgia (2020),

which was viewed positively by some while others were disappointed. The

song was nominated for the Grammy Awards for Song of the Year and Best

Song Written for Visual Media. It reached number one in several

countries, including the UK, and received multi-platinum certifications

in others. The music video intersperses Lipa performing choreography

with clips from a disco party in the film. The song was included as the

primary musical motif in the film, and she performed it for the first

time at the Royal Albert Hall in 2024.
