"Dance for Me" is a song by American singer Mary J. Blige featuring American rapper Ahkim Miller from Blige's fifth studio album, No More Drama (2001). Produced by Dame Grease, the track was written by the artists alongside Bruce Miller with an additional writing credit going to Sting for the sampling of the 1979 song "The Bed's Too Big Without You" by English rock band the Police. For the No More Drama 2002 re-release, the version featuring Ahkim Miller was replaced with the more widely-known version featuring Common. The subsequent single release was the version with Common.
The song released as the album's second single in select European territories on January 28, 2002. The single never received a release within the United States, where "No More Drama" was released as the album's second single. The music video was directed by Urban Ström. There are two versions of the music video released. One is the video for the radio edit of the song, the other video is for the Plutonium Remix. Both versions feature rapper Common.
