It is not an outtake from Future Nostalgia. It was made specifically for the movie and the production was made prior to the lyrics. The basic melody was written for the movie as a pitch to Greta, they took the instrumental to rehearsals and developed the music further, the song was offered to Dua and then she took part in writing the actual lyrics of it.

About Dance The Night:
The first song to come together was Lipa’s “Dance the Night,” which is performed in the movie and serves as a tentpole musical moment. Gerwig had sent Ronson a disco-inspired playlist that included the Bee Gees, leading Ronson, who lined his New York studio shelves with Barbie and Ken dolls, to come up with “Dance the Night,” co-written with Andrew Wyatt, Caroline Ailin and Lipa.

Coming up with the instrumental that became “Dance the Night,” I felt pretty free to create. I wasn’t thinking, This has got to be the summer smash. It was like, I’m really inspired by this film. I wanted to give them something that’s got disco, but has an unexpected slightly harder edge to it. Greta had referenced the Bee Gees a bit. The thing about the Bee Gees that’s really sneaky: A lot of great pop music, when you listen to it, it’s not as syrupy and slick as you think. When you listen to “Staying Alive,” there’s this big-ass kick drum just going, [imitates drumbeat]. I tried about three or four things and then I finally had this one that I liked and I sent it to her. I think I named it “Tastes Like Barbie,” because I just thought it sounded cool. I didn’t think the whole project hung in the balance — if she didn’t like that track, I was out — but I just wanted her to like it so badly. And she wrote back, “Oh my God, I’ve listened to this 100 times already on the way to the set. My driver says it’s a hit.” This is just the most basic instrumental ever. So they started to do all these dance rehearsals to it. And, listen, it’s not my first time ever at the rodeo, but to walk in and see a piece of music I made on a film set of that level of people rehearsing, and Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling and **** doing choreo, it was kind of rad.

I want to correct this, because we didn’t write it for Dua — we wrote the music and then she wrote the song with Caroline Ailin. I’ve worked with Dua, but I’m also a fan of Dua’s records; I’m a DJ, so I play Dua records. It’s all mixed up in the soup. So I’m sure there’s somewhere where Dua and I have similar influences. I think that it felt Future Nostalgia–adjacent because her music does the **** that I really love, as far as dance music goes: It has an energy, but it’s kind of tough and weird. Same as Tame Impala’s music, like any dance music that’s just a little imposing.

To be honest, Dance The Night would be like bottom 3, but this just shows how excellent Future Nostalgia is.

I disagree completely. From that list it’s only better than Not my problem. The rest are decent tracks just not as strong compared to the stronger songs on the album.

Or you are making conspiracy for no reason when it is a very simple and clear explanation.

Unfortunately this one is the worst on the album for me

I never really thought this sounded that much like FN tbh. Dance The Night actually sounds like it was produced for a movie. A song like that doesn't give off "studio album" vibes at all.

now why am i getting so much backlash

Lmao I think the “alleged” part ruffled some of the dula peepers feathers when I wasn’t even dragging her  :rip: 

 

Ill keep the thread running, not one hair out place I guess

It's a great song! But compared to the excellence on FN, it makes sense why it's a soundtrack song.
