Dylan Tori comments on the track
“This song is all about feeling good, getting up, grabbing a partner, and dancing. Lyrically, I wanted to tell an eternal love story. I aimed to paint a picture of feeling alone, down, and lost in the world until that one person, moment, opportunity, or encounter presents itself and sweeps you off your feet. It fills you with a love, light, and joy that you can’t get enough of, transforming your life forever.”
“Often, when writing a song, it begins with a melody and the emotion that melody evokes in me. These emotions provide a story or a scene, much like how I imagine movie scriptwriters work.
‘Dance A Little More’ was no different. Friso Woudstra came up with the introductory line, which had an upbeat, country feel, setting the scene perfectly. I enjoy writing story-based songs, hoping to capture the audience’s imagination and allow them to paint their own interpretation of the song.”
“The vibe we aimed for was a country, upbeat, good bootscootin’ boogie song – essentially an English ‘sokkie treffer’ (a popular South African dance hit). I hope everyone loves the vibe and the stories, and that it makes you feel good, puts love in your heart, and fire in your dance shoes.”
