The song became a sleeper hit and went viral on TikTok, becoming a trend where people record themselves looking sick before locking in.[3] As the song was going viral, it began charting in multiple countries. This song marks the first time one of her songs charted in more than one country, the first time one of her songs charted on a Billboard chart, and the first single of hers to chart anywhere.[4]
Slayyyter later performed the song on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, marking her first career performance on television.[5]
Critical reception
The song received positive reviews from critics. Margaret Farrell of Stereogum called the song "a dark and seductive pop song that comes into focus with buzzy synths and a vampiric melody".[6] Billboard's Katie Bain described it as a "dancefloor siren call" with a "pulsing, breathy and the right kind of ominous" production that incorporates elements of French touch. The publication also highlighted the song's lyrical theme, noting that Slayyyter's declaration of "I kind of hate you but, it doesn't matter, let me dance" serves as "a nod to the eternal shake-it-off power of the club".[7]
Live performance
Slayyyter performed "Dance..." for The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon on May 19, 2026. She sung the song whilst wearing a beaded silver leotard with soda-can-top nipples, something that Jimmy Fallon would later positively comment on after her performance.[8]
