It captures the thrill of embracing a feel-good mindset and immersing oneself in the joyful present, unburdened by the weight of future romantic expectations. “So many songs revolve around the concept of someone completing you, so when we wrote this song, it was important to me to share a different perspective, one where you’re able to go out and have a great time without any long-term expectations for love,” reveals Onoleigh, offering a refreshing and liberating insight into the single’s thematic depth.
‘Why Can’t We Dance’ bursts forth with electrifying musical energy, adorned by irresistibly infectious melodies and pulsating rhythms.

Hailing from Mahomet, IL, Onoleigh’s move to Nashville was a pivotal decision in her pursuit of a music career. The singer’s gift for crafting relatable and compelling songs stems from her background in social work as a guidance counsellor. Her ability to channel compassion and empathy into her songwriting has resonated deeply with audiences.
Her debut release, “Ghost Stories,” amassed over 20,000 streams, while subsequent features on various esteemed media platforms cemented her industry presence.
