Story Behind The Song
My co-writer & I flashed back to years ago as teens when we couldn't look in the mirror & feel good about ourselves. It's been a long road since then and this song was our chance to change the story & find the beauty that was always there.
Song Description
This song is about that one miraculous day when you wake up & those negative voices are gone and you can truly see & feel the beauty that has always been within you. On this day, you can look in the mirror & finally love yourself.

Lyrics
GOTTA DANCE
by KAREN TAYLOR GOOD & FAITH RIVERA
YOU MAY NOT FEEL LIKE MOVING
YOU MAY NOT WANNA SHOUT (hey!)
YOU MAY NOT WANNA TAP YOUR FEET
OR WAVE YOUR ARMS ABOUT
BUT WHEN YOU LET THE MUSIC CRAWL DOWN IN YOUR HEART
YOU AIN'T GONNA HAVE A CHOICE....ONCE...
THE BEAT BEAT BEAT STARTS
GOTTA DANCE, GOTTA MOVE
GOTTA SWAY, GOTTA GROOVE
YOU SEE YOUR BODY HAS ITS OWN PLAN
AND IT'S GOT, GOT, GOT, GOTTA DANCE
YOU THINK YOU MIGHT NOT HAVE THE TIME
OR YOU'RE NOT COOL ENOUGH (HUH)
TOO OLD or YOUNG, FAT or THIN,
ALL THAT CRAPPY STUFF
BUT WHEN YOU LET THE RHYTHM SEEP DEEP IN YOUR BONES
YOU AIN'T GONNA HAVE A CHOICE....LET
THE BEAT BRING YOU HOME
GOTTA DANCE, GOTTA MOVE
GOTTA SWAY, GOTTA GROOVE
YOU SEE YOUR BODY HAS IT'S OWN PLAN
AND IT'S GOT, GOT, GOT, GOTTA DANCE
