Lyrics:

Beats blastin in the club,
Let me dance, let me listen.
everyone one is hella drunk
drink like it's a competition

you wanna learn these moves?
You just want the best views
Look at how i glow
let the light mystify you

Let me dance, Let me glisten!
Let me dance, Let me glisten!

have you gotten a good look
the Musics getting to the hook
pour to me another glass
I want this whole night to last

Let me dance, Let me glisten!
Let me dance, Let me glisten!

I can see it in your eyes
I've got you hypnotized
keep telling me your lies
I enjoy how you hard try
You can look, but never touch
cause he night doesn't hold your luck
watch my hips swing
make me into your fantasy

Let me dance, Let me glisten!
Let me dance, Let me glisten!

Artist commentary:

Flutterwhat:

The track is inspired by black-quadrants Porrim cosplay, and originally evolved from a song called "Born Aloen." The vocals are done using a combination of devices over multiple takes and post-processing effects.

VT Stark:

I wanted to capture the feel of the music, which felt to me as though it's Porrim completely aware of how fabulous she is, but not caring if others see her that way. Tumblr user black-quadrant's cosplay inspired the song, so I used it as a reference, especially with the tattoos. The theater is empty, representing how she is focused on her own approval, and no one else's.
