In Dance With You, Hueningkai uses dance as a way to express his feelings. The TOMORROW X TOGETHER (TXT) maknae sheds his “cute” image in favor of something more sleek and sultry.
Through flowing choreography, and flickering red lights, he makes us wonder if there’s a way to get closer without having to talk at all?
The art of moving together
From its first strum, Dance With You sets a mood. Built on a groovy guitar riff and subtle trap beats, the song pulses like a heartbeat.
Lines like “I wanna dance with you / hold hands with you” are simple, but filled with longing. It’s about moving in sync with one person, fully tuned in to their rhythm. The song dreams about reaching a level of connection so close, you want to become one with that special someone.
“I want to know you, down to the depths of your heart
Slow down
As I rewind you, I become your mirror
I’m captivated by your every move
Your tone of voice, the way you breathe
I want even those to be the same”
“A dance we share, heart to heart
Completely entrusting myself to you, you to me
Two becoming onе, I wanna dance with you
(I wanna dance with you, hold hands with you)
(A dance wе share, heart to heart)
(Completely entrusting myself to you, you to me)
(Two becoming one, I wanna dance with you)”
A music video that breathes the song
The music video places Hueningkai in the moody bars and neon streets of Mexico. Red lighting follows him everywhere, giving everything a pulse. Remember that the color red symbolizes love and passion, but also courage, desire and energy.
Every move Kai makes, every sway of the hips feels like he’s chasing something just out of frame. We never see the person he’s inviting, and that’s the point. The video is about yearning after all.
The choreography has been described as being “smooth-yet-dangerous”. It’s confident with looking too showy. There’s mystery in his movements, power in his vulnerability. He’s inviting us into a conversation where movement speaks louder than words.
Connection is a dance for two
Dance With You may be a solo track, but it’s just one piece of TXT’s album The Star Chapter: TOGETHER. Each member gets the chance to explore their own take on connection.
In Hueningkai’s case, connection is physical but never shallow. It’s about learning the way someone moves, and matching your steps. The longing he expresses is universal, but through his hands, it becomes personal. He’s dancing with us and in that shared moment, we understand exactly what he’s trying to say.
