General information

"Dance Your Pain Away" is an uptempo pop song, much more upbeat compared with the previous single "When You Really Loved Someone". The single was added to BBC Radio 2's 'A' list in July 2013, quickly reaching number one on their airplay chart before the single was released.

Competition

A competition was held on Agnetha's official website where fans were invited to submit videos to YouTube of themselves dancing to the song. Visitors to the site could vote for their favourite videos. The Top 10 videos by vote were selected to feature in the official video clip for the song.[citation needed]

A+ Version -2023

On 31 August 2023, Faltskog announced her reimagined version of her 2013 album 'A'. The track listing stayed the same (with the exception of her new single 'Where Do We Go From Here?'); however, the order of the songs was changed: 'Dance Your Pain Away' is the 4th song on the album, whereas previously it was 7th.[3]
