"Body Moves" is a song recorded by American band DNCE for their self-titled debut studio album (2016). DNCE member Joe Jonas wrote the song with Rami Yacoub, Albin Nedler, and Kristoffer Fogelmark, all three of whom co-produced the track. It was released to digital retailers on September 30, 2016 through Republic Records as the album's official lead single.[3]

Critical reception

Robbie Daw of Idolator commented on the influence of Justin Timberlake's solo debut, Justified (2002), on the track's sound and wrote that "Body Moves" is "a tune that's not only a worth follow-up... but actually manages to top both of its successors."[4]

Music video

A teaser video set to the song premiered October 5, 2016 which also doubled as an advertisement for a line of Victoria's Secret lingerie.[5] The official music video for "Body Moves" was directed by Hannah Lux Davis and premiered October 11, 2016.[6] Described by critics as "provocative," the video finds Joe Jonas shirtless and engaging in sexual behaviour with model Charlotte McKinney in an elevator, amongst other clips of the band members and "barely clothed" dancers.[2]

Live performances

DNCE appeared on The Today Show on August 26, 2016 and performed "Body Moves", along with "Cake by the Ocean" and "Toothbrush".[7]
