<\/p>\n

\n

As Harry Styles prepares to start his Together, Together Tour<\/a> next Saturday, the singer dropped a new music video for his Kiss All the Time. Disco, Occasionally<\/em> track \u201cDance No More\u201d this afternoon. Styles dances in a custom Marc Jacobs ensemble featuring short shorts for three minutes, entrancing the crowd with his moves. (He even inspires some people on the dance floor to grab a partner and make out, true to his album\u2019s title.)<\/p>\n

\u201cDance No More\u201d lyrically explores the relationship between the performer and audience. His music video brings the song\u2019s message to life, with the camera focusing on his perspective as he commands the crowd.<\/p>\n

During a BBC Radio 1 interview<\/a> earlier this year, Styles discussed the origin of the chorus\u2019s main lyric, \u201c\u2018DJs don\u2019t dance no more,\u2019 they said.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cMy friend Chloe said that,\u201d he recalled. \u201cShe\u2019d been dancing with us, and it was a group of friends who usually are watching her play\u2026.We were like, \u2018Oh, it\u2019s so nice. So nice to have you like down with us.\u2019 And she was like, \u2018I know DJs don\u2019t dance anymore. It\u2019s crazy.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

\n

Throughout the rest of the song, Styles honed in on that feeling, singing from the performer\u2019s point of view with verses like, \u201cMove it side to side with your hands up high \/ Keep your customer satisfied and live your life.\u201d He expanded on the spirituality of music in lines like, \u201cIt\u2019s feeling like the music has been heaven sent \/ And that there\u2019s no difference in between the tears and the sweat.\u201d<\/p>\n

Those lyrics in particular came from a very personal experience when Styles was in the crowd listening to someone else\u2019s music. During his Apple Music interview with Zane Lowe<\/a>, Styles first confirmed that the \u201ckeep your customer satisfied\u201d line is a Simon & Garfunkel reference.<\/p>\n

He then added of his \u201ctears and sweat\u201d lyric, \u201cI remember going out, kind of the first time in Berlin, and standing in the middle of the dance floor, and feeling so unbelievably free and safe, that I kind of just had my hands in the air, and my eyes closed, and I just felt these tears like streaming down my face. And it was this moment of like, \u2018Oh, I feel so alive right now.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

Styles gives a candid, revealing look at life as a singer in \u201cDance No More\u201d in both the song\u2019s lyrics and music video. Read them below, via Genius<\/a>, and watch the video:<\/p>\n
