"Dance" is a song by Filipino singer Nina from her 2011 studio album ''Stay Alive''. It was initially released as the album's official lead single in August 2011, but was immediately pulled out of the radio after the album's release was postponed. In October 2011, the song was, again, released as a commercial single under Universal Records and received limited airplay. The song was originally written by Alexandra Prinz and Michael Gordon Lange, and it was produced by Ito Rapadas. The song talks about a woman who wants to get back together with her lover after breaking up with him. She misses her man, and is very undecided. She then goes to the club and dances her way to forgetting things and escaping loneliness. The single was accompanied by two different official music videos, both directed by Sean Lim. Version 2 was released in December 2011, and features Nina in Gaga-ish costumes, doing choreographed dance moves at the same time. Her co-Sessionista Duncan Ramos made a guest appearance in the video. Nina portrays a detective and an alien at the same time in the video, where she investigates a crime scene regarding alien abduction, when she is later revealed as the suspect alien. Despite the fact that two videos were filmed for the song, the other version was never released. She has performed the song live in ''Happy Yipee Yehey!'' and ''Party Pilipinas,'' where she also launched ''Stay Alive''. "Dance" was well received by OPM critics, being given positive response by music reviewers. ''The Philippine Star'' described the song as an "upbeat track with a catchy melody," while Philippine Entertainment Portal called it a "fast track that fans will surely delight in." The song was given very limited commercial promotion, and its video was not played on myx until March 2012—which led Nina's fans to questioning Universal's marketing strategy. The song will later be released internationally, alongside the album. ==Background== In the last quarter of 2010, Nina revealed that she was recording an all-original studio album and announced that it will be released in mid-January 2011, stating "I only have two cover songs in there and the rest are originals. It's going to be sexy-soul which is like singing from the soul but when you hear it, there's a degree of sexiness to it. That's me 'eh. I'm really a singer that sings from the soul, ''bonus na lang 'yung sexy na part'' (sexy part is just a bonus )." However, the album was pushed back to a February release. In the February 2011 issue of ''Woman Today'' magazine, she expressed postponing the album release, again, scheduling it in June 2011.〔''Woman Today'' (February 2011), upcoming album's release date, accessed 2011-12-04〕 In May 2011, Universal Records' head executive Kathleen Dy-Go stated that Nina had not yet finished recording the album, which may result the release date to be pushed back—for the third time—to July or August. Nina later confirmed that the upcoming album will finally be released in the last week of September 2011, that her main goal is to create a different kind of music for her fans and that she does not expect for it (album ) to be a huge hit. Despite the announcement, the album—which was later revealed to be entitled ''Stay Alive''—was not released until November 19, 2011. Prior to the release of the album, a sample of the disco-influenced pop song by DJ Silverfilter entitled "Dance" was released on August 23, 2011 through Universal Records' official YouTube channel. Silverfilter revealed via Twitter that the voice behind the song is Nina's, and that it would be included in her album. He also stated that he was working on another material with Nina. The song was later released to radio, but was immediately pulled out of the airwaves due to the album release's cancellation. On October 6, 2011, a different sample version of "Dance", which does not feature Silverfilter, was posted by Universal. It was later revealed that Nina personally picked the song as the lead single for ''Stay Alive''. On November 10, 2011, Universal Records' official YouTube channel posted a preview of the album which only included the first nine tracks. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Dance (Nina Girado song)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
