“It Won’t Kill Ya” is about a person seducing somebody by making small moves.
It’s a collaboration between the New York City-based hitmakers The Chainsmokers and the French singer-songwriter Louane Emera.

[Verse 1]
I know as the night goes on
You might end up with someone
So why do I bite my tongue?
Oh, I wanna know ya
I'm lookin' around the room
Is one of those strangers you?
And do you notice me too?
Oh, I wanna know ya
[Pre-Chorus]
(I want ya) You're a face I won't forget
(I want ya) Don't know how much time is left
(I want ya) Haven't had a moment yet
Ooh
[Chorus]
Oh, dance with me, it won't kill ya
And one for the road
Dance with me, it won't kill ya
And one before you go
Dance with me, it won't kill ya
And one for the road
So why won't you stay a little longer?
[Drop]
Dance with me
Dance with me
(Mon amour)
[Verse 2]
You're putting your jacket on
Oh no, is the moment gone?
Don't wanna regret this one
Ooh, I wanna know ya
[Pre-Chorus]
(I want ya) You're a face I won't forget
(I want ya) Don't know how much time is left
(I want ya) Haven't had a moment yet
Ooh
[Chorus]
Oh, dance with me, it won't kill ya
And one for the road
Dance with me, it won't kill ya
And one before you go
Dance with me, it won't kill ya
And one for the road
So why won't you stay a little longer?
[Drop]
Dance with me
(Mon amour)
Dance with me
(Mon amour)
[Bridge]
I know as the night goes on
You might end up with someone
So why do I bite my tongue?
Ooh, I wanna know ya
[Chorus]
Oh, dance with me, it won't kill ya
And one for the road
Dance with me, it won't kill ya
And one before you go
Dance with me, it won't kill ya
And one for the road
So why won't you stay a little longer?
[Drop]
So why don't you stay a little longer?
So why don't you stay a little longer?
Woah, woah, yeah
So why don't you stay a little longer?
[Outro]
So why don't you stay a little longer?
(So why don't you stay a little longer?)

Nine days before Apple Music leaked this song (along with the whole album), Louane sent out a tweet with the song’s title.
“It Won’t Kill Ya” is about a night out, seeing someone you are attracted to across the room which pulls you into this mental struggle to gain the courage to interact with them. This is one of the lighter tracks on our album that focuses on enjoying the moment yet handling temptation. Working with L...
It was their idea. I just jumped into [sic] a flight. At the beginning, I didn’t know it was for the album, but I was so happy to work with them.
– Louane in a 2017 interview with Billboard.
We were really searching for a good vibe. We had to find something that was going to be dance and electro like them, but that would also fit with me, because I’m much more of a pop singer. We had to find something that was cool for them but had the French feeling. I have to have my own vibe, my own...
