"Now I Can Dance" is a song written by Tina Arena and David Tyson. It was the third single taken from Arena's third studio album In Deep (1997). It was written by Arena while living in L.A. and is a love letter from her to her family, as she explained in her autobiography. The song was successful in her native Australia, reaching #13 on the ARIA Singles Chart.
