"Dance Monkey" is a global hit single by Australian artist Tones and I (real name Toni Watson), released on May 10, 2019, as the second single from her debut EP The Kids Are Coming. The track, which she wrote and co-produced with Konstantin Kersting, draws from her busking experiences on Australia's streets. The lyrics capture the exhaustion of performing endlessly for crowds, likening it to a "monkey" dancing for approval, with lines like "Just like a monkey, I've been dancin' my whole life." T
