Dance the Night Away (The Mavericks song)

"Dance the Night Away" is a song by American country band the Mavericks, written by the band's lead vocalist, Raul Malo, and produced by Malo alongside Don Cook. It was included on their fifth studio album, Trampoline (1998), as the opening track. Primarily a pop-rock and Latin song backed up by horn instruments, it was written in one afternoon by Malo, who began to arrange music more often after completing the demo recording.

The song was released as a single in the United States on March 10, 1998, reaching number 63 on the Billboard Hot Country Singles & Tracks chart. The Mavericks also convinced their record label, MCA Records, to issue the song in Europe; this was done on April 20 of the same year. Following its European release, the single peaked at number nine on the Irish Singles Chart and number four on the UK Singles Chart. It continues to be one of the band's most enduring hits.
