"Dance with Me Tonight"
Song
B-side"Baby Blue Eyes"

"Dance with Me Tonight" is a single by English singer-songwriter Olly Murs, taken from his second studio album In Case You Didn't Know. It was released as the album's second single on 18 November 2011 and was written by Murs, Claude Kelly and Steve Robson. The song peaked at number 2 in the UK for two consecutive weeks before finally giving Murs his third UK number 1 single in December 2011.

Critical reception

Robert Copsey of Digital Spy gave the song a three out of five stars stating, "How, you ask? Well, the swinging '60s funk-pop sound of his latest effort might not be the most original, and the lyrics are cheesier than a tube of Primula, but there's little denying it's unashamedly fun. "I feel the music moving through your body/ Looking at you I can tell you want me," he boasts with cheeky-chappy charm over hip-shaking bass and a dazzling horn section. In the words of every X Factor judge, this is our guilty pleasure."[1]

Music video

A music video to accompany the release of "Dance with Me Tonight" was first released onto YouTube on 14 October 2011 at a total length of three minutes and twenty-seven seconds.

The Music Video directed by Marcus Lundin starts with Olly going through a police station and pulling funny poses at a mug shot camera, after being arrested with his friends and another girl. 5 Hours before the incident, he drives around London picking up his friends along the way, then afterwards setting up a party atmosphere for Olly to get the girl who was with him in the police station called Jamie Winter. They dance with the fireworks possibly still going, a more senior female citizen looks out disturbed by the noise, and probably calls the police. However as the video ends, they get caught by the police possibly due to disturbing the peace.

Filming took place in Putney (with the iconic Putney Wharf Tower), Putney Bridge, along with parts of Fulham. Scenes of Fulham Palace Road, Lysia Street and Bishops Park Road are also shown as "snapshots". Mortlake and New Cross were other filming locations.

On 27 November 2011, Olly performed the single for the first time on The X Factor results show.[3] He performed with The Muppets[4], and the studio version of this performance is to be featured as a bonus track on the UK version of the soundtrack for the new Muppets film that will be released in UK cinemas in February 2012[5]. He also performed the song for his special for Channel 4's The Album Chart Show on 4th December 2011, MTV Live Sessions on 11 December 2011, and on RTÉ One's The Late Late Toy Show on 2nd December 2011, and acoustically for T4 show Sunday Brunch on 18th December 2011.
