Composition
[edit]"Dancing with Nobody" was written by Austin Mahone, Jim Lavigne, Ian Kirkpatrick, Sam Martin, Jacob Luttrell and Lindy Robbins, while production was handled by Kirkpatrick.[4] The song has been described as a "feel-good anthem" track as stated by Mahone.[5] He also added that he wanted the track "to be a fun, upbeat song that will make everyone feel that they just can't help but get up and dance."[5]
Critical reception
