Composition and lyrics

A tribute to his first hit, "Dancing with Myself", as referenced in the lines “I’m still dancing but now I’m not alone” and “from LA to Tokyo," it's an autobiographical song with a "new-wave-meets-punk" sound. [3]

"Still Dancing is really a reflection of my whole journey." shares Idol. "From the punk rock period through to now. And I’m still looking towards the future, still living the life I set out to live." [4]

Reception

WXGL writes that "normally a band that I’ve loved since the 80′s will put out new songs that are just ok, but Billy has been dropping great tracks non-stop, like this new one." [5]

Music video

The music video, directed by Steven Sebring, sees Idol perform the song in a club and on the street after looking through his old records in a record store. [4]
