"Dance with Me" is a song recorded by American rock band Blink-182. The song was released on October 5, 2023, through Columbia Records as the fourth single from their ninth album One More Time.... It was written by bassist Mark Hoppus, guitarist Tom DeLonge, and drummer Travis Barker, alongside engineer Aaron Rubin and songwriter Nick Long.

Background

The song opens with a crude, spoken-word joke from DeLonge: "When I teach masturbation, I'm always just like, 'Have fun with it.'"[1] Throughout the song, DeLonge encourages a partner to dance, with lyrics like "I've been waiting around to lose / So dumb, trying to make believe / You're mine, what are you gonna do / Come here, do you want to come dance with me?"[2] Columnists for Spin observed the song shares a title with another song by T.S.O.L., one of DeLonge's preferred groups.[3]

Music video

The song's music video is a tribute to the Ramones.

The song's music video was intended as a "love letter" to the Ramones, one of their biggest influences.[4] It finds the band dressing up in the style of the Ramones, including wigs, sunglasses, and leather jackets.[5][6] The clip begins with an interview (featuring Lisa Gilroy as host), spoofing the Ramones' 1981 interview on The Tomorrow Show.[7][8] As the song begins, the video switches to the three seated at a table—a reference to the 1988 "I Wanna Be Sedated" visual[9]—while doctors, nurses (with one portraying the nurse from the band's own Enema of the State album cover), clowns, cheerleaders, construction workers, brides, and various other people run around. The footage is intercut with shots of the band playing at a CBGB-style backdrop,[10] as well as posing in front of a brick wall, a la the Ramones' famous debut album cover.[11]

The video was directed by the Malloys,[4] with whom the band last collaborated with on the 2001 videos for "The Rock Show" and "First Date".

Reception

Uproxx writer Danielle Chelosky described the "clamorous" song "as fun as it is loud, and the lyrics are as chaotic as the sound."[2] Gil Kaufman of Billboard described "Dance with Me" as a "raucous pop-punk tune".[11]
