"Let's Dance" is the first single from English boy band Five's third and final studio album, Kingsize. Released on 13 August 2001,[1] the song was written by Richard Stannard, Julian Gallagher, Martin Harrington, Abs Breen, Jason "J" Brown and Sean Conlon, and produced by Stannard and Rowe. The song charted at number one on the UK Singles Chart, and became Five's third and final number-one single. The song peaked at number two in the Irish Singles Chart. The single was certified Silver in the UK.

Music Video

The official music video was directed by Max and Dania. It is noted that the music video used a life sized cardboard image of Conlon, since he was not present at the time of filming having actually left the band. The video was also the last music video that the band recorded together before their 2013 reunion, as the video for "Closer to Me" was a compilation of old video footage, and the video for "Rock the Party" was animated.
