"Why Don't We Just Dance" is a song written by Jim Beavers, Jonathan Singleton and Darrell Brown, and recorded by American country music artist Josh Turner. It was released in August 2009 as the lead-off single from his album Haywire, which was released on February 9, 2010. The song became Turner's third #1 hit in February 2010, his first since "Would You Go With Me" in October 2006, and his longest stay at the top with four weeks. On May 24, 2010, the single was his fourth to be certified Gold by the RIAA. "Why Don't We Just Dance" is a moderate up-tempo, featuring a production with piano, steel guitar fills, and fiddle. The song's narrator suggests to his lover that they dance in the living room to forget each other's troubles. Turner said the song, which was written by Jim Beavers, Jonathan Singleton, and Darrell Brown, caught his attention the first listen. "It's an up-tempo, traditional country song that has a very catchy melody with a lyric that poses the question 'why don't we just dance?' and forget about all of the bad stuff going on the world and just concentrate on each other." The music video, which was directed by Deaton-Flanigen Productions, premiered on GAC's Monday Music Mania on October 5, 2009 and on CMT on October 8, 2009. Turner is shown inside a house, observing a couple (played by real-life couple Ciaran McCarthy and Ashley Anderson) dancing in the living room. Throughout the video, the couple changes clothes and dancing styles, showcasing different decades beginning with the 1950s through present day. According to Country Weekly magazine, Turner was "elated to discover that he wouldn't have to do any acting" in the video. The video was ranked #39 on GAC's Top 50 Videos of the Year.
