Y2K electro-pop hasn’t simply resurfaced; it’s alive and pulsing under strobe lights. On Slayyyter’s new single “Dance…,” she doesn’t just revisit the sound — she reinvents it, laying the groundwork as the opener for her third album, Wor$t Girl in America.
“Dance…” feels like the moment Slayyyter graduates from cult favorite to pop authority. Produced by Valley Girl — the powerhouse duo of Nate Campany and Kyle Shearer — the track swaps her signature rap-inflected delivery for her most technically ambitious vocal performance to date.

It detonates with chest-thumping bass and chrome-plated synths, surging like a live DJ set before blooming into a glossy pre-chorus shimmer. Valley Girl’s maximalism is relentless — gritty, oversized production vibrating with low-end pressure — yet Slayyyter cuts cleanly through the mix.
In the verses, she keeps her delivery low and sultry, almost restrained. Then the chorus snaps into focus — brighter, sharper, fully commanding — as neon synths flare at the edges while her voice stays centered and in control.
That tension between distorted texture and airy, echo-laced autotune gives the song its hypnotic pull, the same sleek, repetitive magnetism that made Kylie Minogue’s “Can’t Get You Out of My Head” immortal.
At nearly five minutes, “Dance…” earns its bridge. When it arrives, it lands hard: a rush of synth collides with electric guitar as she declares, “I came here to party, and you know what you started / It’ll end in the morning when you seem unimportant,” injecting the moment with drama and just enough menace.
Even the outro resists the fade. A funky bassline carries the final stretch with confidence, sealing the single as something sturdier than a streaming-era hit.
If this is where pop is headed, the dance floor isn’t chasing nostalgia.
It’s rewriting it.
