"D.A.N.C.E." is the second single by Justice, and the first from their album †. It includes an edit and extended versions of "D.A.N.C.E", a rougher mix in the style of their earlier releases, "B.E.A.T", and the track "Phantom" which was previously issued in limited quantities twice on 12" vinyl preceding the release of "D.A.N.C.E.".
According to the duo, they were huge Michael Jackson fans and therefore decided to dedicate this song to him. The song recites numerous Michael Jackson songs including "P.Y.T. (Pretty Young Thing)", "Black or White", "Workin' Day and Night", and "Whatever Happens" along with the Jackson 5 song "ABC" and Michael Jackson's album Music and Me. The intro of the song contains a sample of the outro of Britney Spears's "Me Against the Music". Vocals are provided by the London-based Foundation for Young Musicians choir.Swizz Beatz sampled the song for "On to the Next One", from Jay-Z's The Blueprint 3 album.
The radio tuning sound near the beginning of the song is from Simon Harris' album Fx & Scratches (Vol. 1). Justice also use a GarageBand sample, "Radio Tuning 01".
The song was #4 on Rolling Stone's list of the 100 Best Songs of 2007.
