"'Body Moves'" is a song by American band DNCE. It was released through Republic Records as the lead single from their self-titled debut studio album on September 30, 2016. The band's lead singer, Joe Jonas, wrote the song with Rami Yacoub, Albin Nedler, and Kristoffer Fogelmark, all three of whom co-produced the track.
Critical reception
Robbie Daw of 'Idolator' commented on the influence of Justin Timberlake's solo debut, 'Justified' (2002), on the track's sound and wrote that "Body Moves" is "a tune that's not only a worth follow-up... but actually manages to top both of its successors."
Music videos
The promotional music video set to the song premiered October 5, 2016 which also doubled as an advertisement for a line of Victoria's Secret lingerie, the video includes models Taylor Hill, Elsa Hosk, Jasmine Tookes, Sara Sampaio and Josephine Skriver. The official music video for "Body Moves" was directed by Hannah Lux Davis and premiered October 11, 2016. Described by critics as "provocative," the video finds Joe Jonas shirtless and engaging in sexual behaviour with model Charlotte McKinney in an elevator, amongst other clips of the band members and "barely clothed" dancers.
