"Dance for You" is a song recorded by American recording artist Beyoncé for the deluxe edition of her fourth studio album, ''4'' (2011). It was written by Beyoncé, Terius "The-Dream" Nash and Christopher "Tricky" Stewart, while production was handled by the former two. "Dance for You" is a midtempo R&B and synthpop song, in which Beyoncé adopts sensual vocals. The instrumental elements used on it include echoing drum patterns and clapping synthesizers. In "Dance for You", Beyoncé, as the female protagonist, speaks of the love she has for her man and about all the things she will do to show him her appreciation. "Dance for You" was well received by contemporary music critics, who noted its similarity to songs by Janet Jackson; they also praised its production and Beyoncé's vocals. Following the release of ''4'', "Dance for You" charted at number 200 on the South Korean International Singles Chart, and at number 147 on the UK Singles Chart. Though the song was never released as a single, it appeared on several charts in the United States based on radio support. "Dance for You" reached number 78 on the ''Billboard'' Hot 100 chart, and number six on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart. Its music video was directed by Beyoncé and Alan Ferguson. The clip debuted on November 25, 2011 and was placed on the concert DVD ''Live at Roseland: Elements of 4'' (2011). Inspired by 1940's film noir, the video is shot in black-and-white and captures Beyoncé dancing and flipping her hair in a detective's office to seduce him. Critics wrote that the video contains some of Beyoncé's best and most sensual moves, called her a femme fatale, and commented that its concept effectively matched the song's lyrics. The song was part of Beyoncé's set list during her residency show Revel Presents: Beyoncé Live (2012) and The Mrs. Carter Show World Tour (2013). ==Background and composition== "Dance for You" was written by Beyoncé, Terius "The-Dream" Nash and Christopher "Tricky" Stewart, with production by Beyoncé and Nash.

Thematically, the song is similar to Beyoncé's "Speechless" (2003) and Destiny's Child's "Cater 2 U" (2005); it is about showing appreciation and gratitude.〔 In "Dance for You", Beyoncé, as the female protagonist, expresses her feelings to her man and tells him how devoted she is to him.〔〔 Jocelyn Vena of MTV News wrote that the song is "about keeping things hot with her man".〔 Echoing Vena's sentiments, Marc Hogan of ''Spin'' magazine described the lyrics as detailing a "triumphantly monogamous relationship".〔 In the first verse, Beyoncé sings about how understanding, loyal, and patient her man is. She further states that she really cares about his heart, she has a lot of valuable things to say, and that for all these reasons, she is going to dance for him.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Beyonce Sexy Dances For A Sexy Detective In Her New Noir Style Sexy Music Video )〕 After telling her love interest to "sit back and watch", Beyoncé sings the chorus, where she states the things she will do to show her appreciation to her love interest,〔〔 "Tonight I'm gonna dance for you / Tonight I'm gonna dance for you / Tonight I'm gonna put my body on your body / Boy, I like it when you watch me / Tonight it's going down." In the second verse, she sings: "You'll never need two, because I will be your number one / Them other chicks are superficial / But I know you know I'm the one / That's why I'm all into you / Cuz I can recognize that you know that / That's why I’m backin' this thing back / Pop poppin' this thing back".〔 Before the song ends, Beyoncé repeatedly chants "yes" in the background as the electric guitar crescendos into a piercing subliminal sound. On October 20, 2012, a remix of the song featuring a rap verse from American rapper T.I. was released online.〔 His rap appears at the three and a half minute mark of the song as he sings about "how he loves it when his lady gives it to him dirty when no one is around" and "lives out his fantasy with candlelight (for a little ambiance), lingerie and Louis Vuitton". He later adds, "I just want to watch the moon glisten off your body... I really just want to peel you out dem clothes and show you how excited I am to lay you down right now." The remix was well received by music critics. A writer of ''Vibe'' magazine commented that it "is sultry and will steam up any club, bedroom or wherever you like to get dirty".〔 A writer of ''Rap-Up'' magazine described the remix as "amazing", adding that "()he bedroom will be banging to this remix".〔 Similarly, X. Alexander of the website Idolator praised the remix, writing that T.I.'s vocals make the "smooth, bedroom-ready R&B track that much sexier". 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 for You」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
