"Dance Monkey" is a song by Australian singer Tones and I, released on 10 May 2019 as the second single from Tones and I's debut EP The Kids Are Coming. The song was produced and mixed by Konstantin Kersting. Upon release, Tones and I said the song is about the expectations that are placed on musical performers.[3]

"Dance Monkey" has topped the charts in Australia, Austria, Belgium, Canada, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Iceland, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Japan, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Sweden, Switzerland and the United Kingdom, and peaked within the top ten in many other European and Asian countries. It is the first charting single for Tones and I in the United States, peaking at number 19 on the Billboard Hot 100.

Upon reaching its tenth week at the top of the Australian Singles Chart, "Dance Monkey" broke the record for the most weeks at number one on the chart by an Australian act, previously held by Justice Crew's 2014 song "Que Sera".[4] With its sixteenth week at number one, in November, it broke the record for the most weeks at number one in Australian chart history, previously held by Ed Sheeran's "Shape of You" (2017).[5]

At the ARIA Music Awards of 2019, the single was nominated for seven awards, winning three. It won ARIA Award for Best Female Artist, Best Pop Release and Breakthrough Artist.[6]

Tones made her debut on US television on 18 November 2019 with a performance of the song on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon.

Lyrics

When interviewed by DJ Smallzy in July 2019 on Australian radio station Nova FM, Tones explained that the song is about the relationship she had with her audience when she was busking on the streets of Australia:

"I wrote this song when I was busking, and [about] the pressure that I felt to always be entertaining people on the street. And if they didn't like it, when they looked at their phones they could just click something else; ... we are all so used to being entertained at the click of a button."

"So when you're [busking] on the street, .. to command [your] attention, people would be like: 'again! again!' .. 'more! more!' .. or they would just leave. So if you replace [the lyric]: 'dance for me, dance for me' with 'sing for me, sing for me,' it's pretty literal," she said.[7]

Music video

The music video was produced by Visible Studios, directed by Liam Kelly and Nick Kozakis and released on 24 June 2019.[8]

Critical reception

Al Newstead from the ABC called the song "another powerhouse melody", adding it will "instantly lodge itself in your brain".[3]

Mike Kaplan, senior VP/Programming for Entercom Alternative WNYL New York City (the first station in the United States to play the song), notes "Sonically, it's catchy and extremely memorable," adding "Its international success certainly helped convince us to share it with our listeners."[9]
