If I Can't Dance
"If I Can't Dance" is a song by British recording artist Sophie Ellis-Bextor for her third studio album, ''Trip the Light Fantastic'' (2007). It was written by Ellis-Bextor and Dimitri Tikovoi, while production was handled by Tikovi, with additional production by Brio Taliaferro and Jeremy Wheatley. It is a dance-pop, electropop and disco song and a reference to the famous misquotation of Emma Goldman, "If I can't dance, I don't want to be part of your revolution", which nevertheless summarizes what she did say.〔Shulman, Alix Kates. "(Dances with Feminists )". ''Women's Review of Books'', Vol. IX, #3. December 1991. Available at the (Emma Goldman Papers ). Retrieved on December 13, 2007.〕
The song was scheduled to be released as the fourth single from the album, which was confirmed by the singer herself; however, a full release did not eventuate. The song was also included on the soundtrack to the 2007 film ''St Trinian's'' and received mostly positive reviews from music critics, with many calling it a "delightfully self-aware cut which transport us to a world where the glitter ball never stops spinning."
==Background and release==
In an interview with Digital Spy in August 2007, Ellis-Bextor announced that "If I Can't Dance" was to be released as the fourth single from her album ''Trip the Light Fantastic'' in November 2007. She performed the song live for the first time in July 2007 on the BBC1 Saturday night game show, ''DanceX''.〔 Around this time, Sophie announced that she was unsure if she wished to release "If I Can't Dance", due to the popularity of "Love Is Here" amongst fans, and that after her performance on ''DanceX'', fans had urged her to release "Love Is Here" instead. She then announced plans for releasing "If I Can't Dance" would stay, and that "Love Is Here" would become the fifth single instead.〔 On 9 October 2007, Ellis-Bextor announced that plans to release "If I Can't Dance" and "Love Is Here" had been cancelled, and that her record label would release a new, unreleased song in their place. However, when the song was featured on the ''St Trinian's'' soundtrack, which was released on 10 December 2007, rumours spurred that the single would, in fact, be released.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.sophie-online.net/en/projects/disco/ttlf.php )〕
In January 2008, Ellis Bextor made a shock announcement that the ''Trip the Light Fantastic'' era was concluded, and soon after, plans for a ''Greatest Hits'' compilation expected for release in Autumn 2008 came to light.〔 Rumours regarding the single's release again became rife when the track was confirmed for inclusion on the compilation, but Ellis-Bextor confirmed in February 2008 the track would not be released as a single.〔 Regardless, on 5 May 2008, a single release of "If I Can't Dance" surprisingly appeared on the iTunes Store without any prior announcement or confirmation, complete with new artwork and backed with the B-side "Can't Have It All".〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://rateyourmusic.com/release/single/sophie_ellis_bextor/if_i_cant_dance/ )〕 Days later, the single was removed from the store, and since, fans have wondered if the single was listed by Fascination, due to its removal just days later. This also meant the single failed to chart anywhere.
