Murder on the Dancefloor Lyrics
[Intro]
(Murder, murder, murder…)
It's murder on the dancefloor
But you better not kill the groove
DJ, gonna burn this goddamn house right down
[Verse 1]
Oh, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know
About your kind
And so, and so, and so, and so, and so, and so, and so
I'll have to play
[Pre-Chorus]
If you think you're getting away, I will prove you wrong
I'll take you all the way, boy, just come along
Hear me when I say, hey
[Chorus]
It's murder on the dancefloor
But you better not kill the groove, hey-hey, hey-hey
It's murder on the dancefloor
But you better not steal the moves
DJ, gonna burn this goddamn house right down
[Verse 2]
Oh, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know
I know there may be others
And so, and so, and so, and so, and so, and so, and so
You'll just have to pray
[Pre-Chorus]
If you think you're getting away, I will prove you wrong
I'll take you all the way, stay another song
I'll blow you all away, hey
[Chorus]
It's murder on the dancefloor
But you better not kill the groove, hey-hey, hey-hey
It's murder on the dancefloor
But you better not steal the moves
DJ, gonna turn this house around somehow
Murder on the dancefloor (On the dancefloor)
But you better not kill the groove, hey-hey, hey-hey
It's murder on the dancefloor (On the dancefloor)
But you better not steal the moves
DJ, gonna burn this goddamn house right down
[Instrumental Break]
[Pre-Chorus]
Don't think you'll get away, I will prove you wrong
I'll take you all the way, boy, just come along
Hear me when I say, hey
[Chorus]
It's murder on the dancefloor
But you better not kill the groove
It's murder on the dancefloor
But you better not steal the moves
DJ, gonna burn this goddamn house right down
It's murder on the dancefloor
But you better not kill the groove, hey-hey, hey-hey
It's murder on the dancefloor
But you better not steal the moves
DJ, gonna burn this goddamn house right down
It's murder on the dancefloor (On the dancefloor)
But you better not kill the groove, hey-hey, hey-hey
It's murder on the dancefloor (On the dancefloor)
But you better not steal the moves
DJ, gonna burn this goddamn house right down
Oh, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know (On the dancefloor)
But you better not kill the groove

What has the artist said about their song appearing on the Billboard Hot 100?
It’s glorious, it’s magical, really. But it’s very hard to process, if I’m honest. I think I’m still getting my head around that a little bit! My relationship with the song is great, I perform it all the time — it’s been the song that people associate the most with me. But to have it having this lit...
How did the artist feel about their song being featured in the movie "Saltburn"?
I knew very few facts! They asked for permission about a year ago, maybe around springtime last year. I knew the name of the film.
