"Slow Dancing" is a song by American pop duo Aly & AJ from their fourth studio album, A Touch of the Beat Gets You Up on Your Feet Gets You Out and Then Into the Sun (2021). Band members AJ and Aly Michalka co-wrote the song with Jeremiah Raisen, Ryan Spraker, and Yves Rothman, with Rothman also handling the production. It was originally envisioned as an up-tempo synth-pop song similar to Aly & AJ's 2017–2019 material, several years before the album was conceived. The duo re-wrote it as a romantic ballad upon revisiting the song while quarantining during COVID-19, updating the lyrics to reflect the impact of the pandemic at the behest of Rothman. Aly initially disliked the song but eventually grew to appreciate it. One of the last songs completed for the album, the song was originally sche

"Slow Dancing" is a song by American pop duo Aly & AJ from their fourth studio album, A Touch of the Beat Gets You Up on Your Feet Gets You Out and Then Into the Sun (2021). Band members AJ and Aly Michalka co-wrote the song with Jeremiah Raisen, Ryan Spraker, and Yves Rothman, with Rothman also handling the production. It was originally envisioned as an up-tempo synth-pop song similar to Aly & AJ's 2017–2019 material, several years before the album was conceived. The duo re-wrote it as a romantic ballad upon revisiting the song while quarantining during COVID-19, updating the lyrics to reflect the impact of the pandemic at the behest of Rothman. Aly initially disliked the song but eventually grew to appreciate it. One of the last songs completed for the album, the song was originally scheduled for a January 2021 release, but Aly & AJ decided to release it a month earlier because they found the soft, calming nature suitable for winter. Inspired by 1960s music, "Slow Dancing" is a country-influenced pop, rock, and indie folk ballad that prominently features guitar and drum instrumentation throughout its production. The song's lyrics are about learning to appreciate life's mundane aspects while longing for the presence of a loved one. Released by Aly & AJ Music/AWAL as the album's lead single on December 2, 2020, the song received positive reviews from critics, who complimented Aly & AJ's artistic maturity and songwriting. Several commentators cited its themes about loneliness, isolation, and longing as particularly relevant to the state of the world at the time. A music video for the song directed by Aly's husband Stephen Ringer was released on December 16, 2020, which Aly & AJ filmed on their mother's ranch in Santa Ynez, California during lockdown. The video emphasizes the song's theme about loneliness, alternating between scenes of AJ dancing with and without her love interest, played by boyfriend Josh Pence. Aly & AJ have performed the song live on several occasions, including on Good Morning America, and throughout their A Touch of the Beat Tour, beginning in 2022.
