Wikipedia article
"'Let's Dance'" is the first single from English boy band Five's third and final studio album, 'Kingsize'. The song was written by Richard Stannard, Julian Gallagher, Ash Howes, Martin Harrington, Abz Love, Jason "J" Brown, and Sean Conlon and produced by Stannard and Gallagher. Released on 13 August 2001, "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 in 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 having actually left the band. The video was also the last music video that the band recorded together, as the video for "Closer to Me" was a compilation of old video footage, and the video for "Rock the Party" was animated.
