The song begins with a rhythmic base that immediately evokes the 1977 classic, but soon transforms into a modern proposal, with bright synthesizers and a very polished production. In the chorus, the brothers sing: “I can tell it by the way that you use your words / That you came to dance, no time to talk“, a direct interpolation of the famous verse of Stayin' Alive.

The choice to sample the Bee Gees is not accidental.

Yeah, yeah

Yeah, yeah

Who's that? Oh my, my

Well, you make it look easy,

make it look marvelous

Ooh, yeah, I li-like,

when you move it in retrograde

Two-step all night long

Way you're takin' no breaks,

you're makin' it obvious

You got what I want,

but I know I'm gon' have to wait

I wish I could tell ya

so much that I wanna say

But II know better,

so I ain't gettin' in your way

I can tell it by the way that you use your words,

that you came to dance, no time to talk

Turnin' up with all your friends,

say you came to dance all around the clock

IIII came to dance, no time to talk

She said: IIII came to dance, no time to talk

Good Lord, side-to-side

Way you're makin' me sway,

you're shakin' me half to death

Say: Go when it's time for my hands

to wrap round your waist, oh

It's too much, I wanna touch

And I'm fallin' in love,

but I don't wanna rush you, babe

Too late, we lock eyes and I'm a moth to a flame, oh

I wish I could tell ya,

so much that I wanna say

But II know better,

so I ain't gettin' in your way

I can tell by the way that you use your words

that you came to dance, no time to talk

Turnin' up with all your friends,

say you came to dance all around the clock

IIII came to dance, no time to talk

She said: IIII came to dance, no time to talk

Do your dance, baby, baby,

do it all night (all night)

Do your dance, baby, baby,

you got all eyes (all eyes)

Do your dance (do your dance), baby (baby), baby,

do it all night (all night, all night)

Do your dance (do your dance), baby, baby,

you got all eyes (all eyes)

I can tell by the way that you use your words

that you came to dance, no time to talk

Turnin' up with all your friends,

say you came to dance all around the clock

IIII came to dance, no time to talk

She said: IIII came to dance, no time to talk

Yeah, yeah

Yeah, yeah

Yeah, yeah
