"We Dance On" is set in the time signature of common time with a metronome of 156 beats per minute. It is composed in the key of D minor. The song's backing string section follows a chord progression of D-A-Bm-F♯m-G-D-G-A. "We Dance On" was described by Gavin Martin of the Daily Mirror as having "unifying floorfiller" and crowd-pleasing attributes to it. The song's chorus "I know everything's gonna be alright/Now you're standing here by my side" and chants have been likened to the music released by reggae musician Bob Marley, namely his song "No Woman, No Cry" (1974). The sampled string section has also been interperated as having influences from The Farm's "All Together Now" (1990). Musically, "We Dance On" is an uptempo British hip hop, dance and R&B song with a dance-orientated beat. "We Dance On" has a distinctly faster tempo than previous N-Dubz singles. The song opens with the Baroque-styled string section sample which transitions into Dappy saying the N-Dubz trademark line "Na-na-nai". Tulisa is the most prominent contributor to the vocals in the song, with her verse "Fox on a mission" being said by critics as one of the highlights in the track. "We Dance On" was first released in Ireland on 20 May 2010 on digital download format. A physical CD release was planned for "We Dance On" on 24 May 2010 in the United Kingdom. The CD single release, however, failed to surface and instead the single was released on digital download only format in the United Kingdom on 23 May 2010. "We Dance On" was co-written and co-produced by the members of N-Dubz and Bodyrox. The song features additional vocals and co-writing contributions from British recording artist Luciana and her partner Nick Clow. Clow and Luciana have previously collaborated with Bodyrox on a number of Bodyrox's singles, namely "Yeah Yeah" (2006) and "What Planet You On?" (2008). "We Dance On" samples the "Canon in D Major" composed by Baroque composer Johann Pachelbel in 1680 and published in 1911. The "Canon in D Major" was sampled as the song's string section and orchestral backing to add "classical spice" to the diverse nature of musical styles incorporated in "We Dance On". The song was written to capture the euphoria of StreetDance 3D by lyrically being about overcoming prejudices and pursuing your dreams. While musically, the song was written to incorporate a diverse variety of styles in the same way the film incorporates a diverse variety of dance and musical styles. Luciana recorded her own verses for the song but this version can only be hear on the official movie's website. "We Dance On" was the official soundtrack to the dance film StreetDance 3D. It was released as the second single from the film's soundtrack and follow-up to "Candy" by Aggro Santos featuring Kimberly Wyatt. The song is played at the end of the film with The Surge (played by Flawless) and The Breakpoint (played by Diversity) dancing out to it. In addition to being a soundtrack single, "We Dance On" also acted as N-Dubz' eleventh official single and follow-up to their tenth single "Say It's Over". "We Dance On" has been critically acclaimed for its warm, inspirational, diverse and urban pop nature. The accompanying music video does not feature N-Dubz or Bodyrox in it. Instead, the video takes place in a dance hall where teenagers and young children star in resemblance of N-Dubz. The song reached the top ten in Ireland, the United Kingdom and the UK R&B Chart. It is N-Dubz's highest-peaking single in Ireland, second highest-peaking single in the United Kingdom and eighth top ten hit on the UK R&B Chart to-date. N-Dubz performed the song on television programme The Dome in Stuttgart, Germany. "We Dance On" is a song performed by British hip hop group N-Dubz, released as the group's eleventh overall single and second single from the soundtrack, StreetDance (2010). The song features English house music duo Bodyrox. It contains a prominent sample from the "Canon in D Major" (1919) which was composed by Johann Pachelbel. The song was co-written and co-produced by the members of N-Dubz and Bodyrox. Additional vocals are provided by British recording artists Luciana and Nick Clow, both artists have also been credited as being involved in co-writing the song. "We Dance On" was released on 20 May 2010 in Ireland and on 23 May 2010 in the United Kingdom, accompanied by previous N-Dubz single "Strong Again" as its b-side, on digital download format. The song was written to portray dancing as a metaphor for working through the trials and tribulations of everyday life. It is a mid-tempo British hip hop, dance-pop and R&B song whose lyrics evoke a message of resilience, overcoming prejudices and maintaining faith to pursue your dreams.
