how do you dance? Lyrics – Yung Kai

Sway into the moonlit ballroom of “how do you dance?,” a tender indie-pop waltz from yung kai’s spellbinding debut album stay with the ocean, i’ll find you, cascading into the world tomorrow on September 26, 2025, via Flood Division/BMG. Vancouver’s Chinese-Canadian prodigy Max Zhang—yung kai to the millions who’ve looped his viral heartbreak anthems—channels his TikTok-born alchemy here, blending lo-fi guitars, ethereal synths, and a falsetto that aches like a summer tide. From his 2024 breakthrough “blue” (that #2 Spotify Global Viral sensation, echoing Wave to Earth’s hazy introspection and Laufey’s jazzy romance) to bedroom confessions inspired by K-dramas and church hymns, this track is pure vulnerability: a plea for one last spin with a lost love, where lines like “But maybe you can teach me how do dance / Hold you like a flower in my hands / There’s nobody else just me and you in the ballroom” bloom amid piano ripples and subtle 808s.

It’s yung kai at 23, trading volleyball courts and computer engineering dreams for sonic poetry, as he shared in CBC chats—music as “the only thing that felt right.” Threaded into the album’s 11-track voyage of tidal emotions (clocking a breezy 15 minutes), “how do you dance?” mirrors the starry yearning of “do you think you could love me?” and the wave-kissed solace of “beach song” (feat. asumuh), where confessions crash like gentle swells. Fans hooked on my love my love my love’s piano-driven ache or “wildflower”’s fragile blooms will lose themselves in its nostalgic pull—a soundtrack for late-night what-ifs. As yung kai preps his Flower Moon and Star Tour across Asia, North America, and Europe, this cut cements his rise from TikTok covers to indie icon. Dive into the how do you dance? lyrics below and let yung kai’s gentle spin sweep you off your feet. Don’t miss other stay with the ocean, i’ll find you tracks like “do you think you could love me?” for more of his heartfelt indie reverie.
