Vorlage:Infobox Single "Just Dance" is a dance-pop song and lead single from Lady GaGa's debut studio album, The Fame. The song is written by Lady GaGa and features Colby O'Donis, who is signed to the same label as GaGa, and Akon, who provides backing vocals through Colby's verse and shortly afterwards. The track is produced by RedOne (most known for working with Akon, MJ, and Kat DeLuna).

This song has been on numerous charts worldwide including Canada, Australia, and even Italy. In the U.S. "Just Dance" scored the second biggest-single-week sum of all time behind Flo Rida's 467,000 from the same week last year, the song sold 419,000 downloads in just one week.[1]

Single release and promotion

Released as the lead single from the album, "Just Dance" was first released to radio stations in the U.S. on April 8, 2008. It was released commercially worldwide on June 17, 2008 through digital distribution. It was released in the United Kingdom on December 28, 2008.

On August 16, 2008, the song debuted at number seventy-six on the Billboard Hot 100. It also garnered second biggest-single week sum of all time with download sales of 419,000, the biggest single-week tally by a female artist since Nielsen SoundScan began tracking digital downloads in 2003.[1]

During an interview with HX magazine, Lady Gaga talked about the song quoting: "If you've ever been so high that it's, like, scary, the only way you can deal with it is not deal with it, so you just kind of dance through the intoxication."

Reception

Nick Levine, music editor of Digital Spy described the track as "mix Gwen Stefani's guetto ghetto fabulousness with a rather more limited version of Christina Aguilera's voice, sprinkle in a bit of Madonna's blonde ambition and then let it marinate in a generous helping of Andy Warhol."[2] "It's a booming fusion of electropop and R&B that practically jumps out of the speakers and strong-arms you into shimmying round the office/your bedroom/Boots' deodorant aisle," the website said, the lyrics are all about "dancing through the intoxication", which is strangely perfect really.

Bill Lamb of About.com thought that "Just Dance" is a "a flamboyant, edgy performer, this song is rather tame, but it does provide a path to get Lady GaGa noticed by the mainstream. It's catchy and may just get you up off the couch, but my guess is there is much more interesting music yet to come from Lady GaGa".[3]

Remix

The official remix of the song features rapper Kardinal Offishall. It contains samples of his voice from his own song Dangerous, and also has the same rhythm and tempo as the song. It has also received airplay in a few radio stations due to it being released in Dance Clubs.

Lady GaGa dancing in the music video for "Just Dance"

The video, directed by Melina Matsoukas, starts Lady GaGa arrives with her dancers, Dina and Pepper, at a house party, which seems to have ended, and one of the dancers puts a stereo on, starting the music. The crowd at the party appear to be sleeping in different areas, and are awoken by the music. They all start to dance, and scenes of the party are inter cut with scenes of scantily dressed Lady GaGa dancing in a poncho, with a disco ball or in a small rubber pool. She wears a blue lightning shaped sticker beneath her right eye like that on the single cover. The video shows Colby O'Donis being flanked by several girls during the "When I come through on the dance floor" interlude. Cameo appearances are made by Akon and fellow label hip-hop band Flipsyde.
