"Dance with Me" is the first of five singles from Alphaville's second album, Afternoons in Utopia. It was released in March 1986, ahead of the album. The track was a top 10 hit in Europe.

Reviews of the song are generally positive, with one reviewer acknowledging that it was a "conventional" choice for a single, while at the same time admitting it benefitted "from some great U2-inspired guitar".

Versions of this song have appeared on a variety of other Alphaville releases, including:

The original "Empire Remix" and the unaltered b-side "The Mirror" were included on 2014's so80s presents Alphaville.

This single contains the second of four songs that Alphaville have designated a "Nelson Highrise Sector"

In 2001, to precede the release of their remix album Forever Pop, Alphaville released "Dance with Me 2001" as a promotional-only single. This CD contained 3 unique remixes of the song, all remixed by Paul van Dyk.
