"Dance Like Nobody's Watching" (abbreviated as "DLNW") is a song by Australian rapper Iggy Azalea and American singer-songwriter Tinashe, from Azalea's upcoming third studio album End of an Era.[1] It was released on 21 August 2020, as the lead single from album.[2][3]

Background and release

After teasing a new song under the title "DLNW" on August 14, Azalea later revealed the title to be "Dance Like Nobody's Watching", a collaboration with American singer, songwriter Tinashe. The duo had previously collaborated on the remix of "All Hands on Deck" from Tinashe's debut album, Aquarius (2014).[4] Following this, Tinashe was supposed to be the opening act for Azalea's The Great Escape Tour (2015), though it was ultimately cancelled.[5] The song will serve as the first single for Azalea's new album, End of an Era.[citation needed]

A lyric video was released on August 21, 2020 at midnight EST, upon song release. The video features behind-the-scenes photos and videos from the cover art shoot.[6][7] The song was released on digital outlets on August 21.[8] One day after the songs release, popular Tik Tok user Lauren Kettering posted a dance challenge to DLNW, which has since gone viral.
