‘Dancing in the Dark’ is a song written and performed by American rock singer Bruce Springsteen.
Adding uptempo synthesizer riffs to his sound for the first time, the song spent four weeks at number two on the Billboard Hot 100 and sold over one million singles in the U.S.
It was the first single released from his 1984 album ‘Born in the U.S.A.’ and it became his biggest hit helping to propel the album to become the best-selling album of his career.
Oh and it’s also got Monica from Friends in the music video.
