Better When I'm Dancing

"**Better When I'm Dancin'**" is a song recorded by American singer and songwriter Meghan Trainor for the soundtrack to the film *The Peanuts Movie*. Trainor co-wrote the song with Thaddeus Dixon. The song was released by Epic Records on October 13, 2015, as a promotional single from the soundtrack. The song is a soca track that strays from Trainor's usual musical style, being described as "breezy and harmless" with traces of house music.

Pinkie (starts singing): Mmm, hey, mmm

Don't think about it

Just move your body

(grabs someone's hand) Listen to the music

Sing, oh, ey, oh

(grabs more people) Just move those left feet

Go ahead, get crazy

Anyone can do it

Sing, oh, ey, oh

Show the world you've got that fire (Alya: fire)

Feel the rhythm getting louder

Show the room what you can do

Prove to them you've got the moves

I don't know about you

But I feel better when I'm dancing, yeah, yeah

Better when I'm dancing, yeah, yeah

We can do this together

I bet you feel better when you're dancing, yeah, yeah
