[2] Four days later,Kygo was interviewed by people People ,in which he shared his thoughts about collaborating with Jonas on the song and DNCE's reunion:"I only met Joe briefly at a festival a couple of years ago,but he's a super nice guy" and "Joe recorded vocals and it just sounded amazing",adding that "I feel like we're all just very excited about this song,and obviously it's very cool to be part of their comeback". [3] On 12 February 2022,Kygo brought DNCE out for his performance at the Sports Illustrated The Party x Palm Tree Crew in Century Park for the Super Bowl LVI weekend show that day,in which they collectively performed the song live for the first time.

"Dancing Feet" is set in the key of C major. [7] It sees Jonas sing "over a characteristically breezy Kygo melody",especially on the song's chorus:"'Cause these dancing feet don't cry to the rhythm,they cry for you / And every Saturday night that you ain't here,my tears are blue / And these blinding lights,they shine so bright like we're on the moon / But I don't wanna dancеanother beat,no,unless it's with you". [8]
The official music video for "Dancing Feet",directed by Johannes Lovund,premiered on 28 February 2022,coinciding with the three-year-anniversary of the reunion of Jonas' other band,the Jonas Brothers. [9] It was originally set to be released alongside the song three days before,but was pushed back in respect of the Ukraine-Russia conflict going on at the time. It was shot in Miami,Florida. The video sees Kygo and the three DNCE members (Jonas,Jack Lawless,and JinJoo Lee) at the Palm Tree Resort,imitating Miami Vice ,as they do favors and run errands for the rich people in the area,such as parking their cars and playing tennis with them,and then give the music for a party. The next day,after working hard,they sneak into a nightclub and dance on a light-up floor. [10]
