"Dangerous" is a song by French music producer David Guetta released as the second single from his sixth studio album, Listen. It features vocals by American singer and songwriter Sam Martin, who had also appeared on Guetta's previous single "Lovers on the Sun". It was released as a digital download on 6 October 2014 and reached number one in fourteen countries. Both artists co-wrote and co-produced the song with Giorgio Tuinfort and Jason Evigan, with additional writing from Lindy Robbins. A remix featuring Trey Songz, Chris Brown, and Martin was released on 9 January 2015.

The song is written in the key of E minor with the main chord progression of Em—C—Am—D.[1] This song bears similarity to the Akon's song "Ghetto" by the chorus melody. The song contains major samples of Nicolo Paganini's Capriccio in Si minore per violino solo, Op. 1 No. 2.
