"Dance for Me" is a song by American singer Mary J. Blige featuring vocals by rapper Common. The track was written by Bruce Miller, Common, and Blige and produced by Dame Grease for her Blige's fifth studio album, No More Drama (2001). The song samples the 1979 song "The Bed's Too Big Without You" by English rock band the Police, written by band member Sting.

The song released as the album's second single in select European territories on January 28, 2002. The single never received a release within the United States, where "No More Drama" was released as the album's second single. The music video was directed by Urban Ström. There are two versions of the music video released. One is the video for the radio edit of the song, the other video is for the Plutonium Remix. Both versions feature rapper Common.
