"Let's Dance" charted at number one on the UK Singles Chart, becoming Five's third and final number-one single, and was certified silver by the British Phonographic Industry (BPI). The song also peaked at number two on the Irish Singles Chart and became a top-10 in hit in Australia, Flanders, Greece, and Romania.
Music video
The official music video was directed by Max and Dania. The music video used a life-sized cardboard image of Conlon since he was not present at the time of filming. While it claimed at the time that he was ill with glandular fever,[2] he had actually left the band due to exhaustion and mental health issues.[3] He told NME in 2022: "It wasn't the best. I was already feeling down and being replaced with a cardboard cutout was like a dig in the ribs. There wasn't the awareness then [that] there is now. Back then, if you said you had problems, there wasn't any sympathy."[4] Robinson said in 2025 that the video should never have been allowed to happen.[5]
The video was also the last music video that Five recorded before their break-up, as the video for "Closer to Me" was a compilation of old video footage,[6] and the video for "Rock the Party" was animated.[7]
