"Dance wiv Me" is a single by British rapper Dizzee Rascal, from his fourth studio album Tongue n' Cheek. It was released on 22 June 2008 and features guest vocals from Scottish DJ Calvin Harris and English R&B singer Chrome. The extended mix of the song also appears on Harris's second album, Ready for the Weekend.
"Dance wiv Me" mixes Rascal's usual grime style with dance music from Harris and R&B from Chrome. Rascal and Harris recorded their respective verse and main hook parts separately, sending their parts back and forth over the phone, while Chrome recorded the pre hook/bridge vocals in the studio with Rascal. The song was produced by Harris and he also sings the chorus. However, Harris rarely sings on releases any more and is usually seen as a DJ. The song debuted in the UK at #1 and stayed there for four weeks - making it Rascal's first ever number one. It became the 12th-biggest selling single in the UK in 2008. Rascal, Chrome and Harris performed an impromptu acoustic version of "Dance wiv Me" for the BBC as part of the Glastonbury Festival 2008 coverage. The song was played in an episode the HBO series Entourage.

(Callin' the rick, I have to go)
Rap battle one two, one two, check it out
All alone, gold song, like Mike Corleone
Get a little [Incomprehensible] while in the pen, still hold the throne
Blood is the same for us to spill
I give off the impression it's no thing for us to kill
Around the way with, street corner game, Pat Sajak
Got kids to feed, you can't stop the paycheck
A letter gram said that you're ahead of him
Nowhere on the planet nigga can't rap better than
So know that I'm the flyest, bypass
By you and your tired-ass bow down to my ass
I shit on a kid wanna vic wanted Kitt
What's [Incomprehensible] Slick Rick, this one is dead
Life's finished, this rapper [Incomprehensible]
Me and Rahzel on the record no cat career finished
Jump in my car, better buckle up
Kitt, hurry, get me 'cross town to wreck another club
For all of y'all, keepin' y'all in health

Just to see you smile and enjoy yourself

Car Kitt known to get rolls royce pussy
In front of y'all opponent, the man be arrogant
Is there some part of I can slaughter anyone that all you don't get?
My records, are [Incomprehensible], how dare announce attack us
Jack shit suave more debonaire about your black ass
Slick pose with another gold hit
By self eliminate a motherfucker whole click

Motherfucker even question if I'm human or not
Who that swingin' in Seacaucus? The gorgeous, of course it's
Thoughtless, c'mon Kitt, the king of New York is
And now it's gettin' kind of dark, [Incomprehensible]
Westside highway, park by the tunnel
Bad car horn oinks off the man's points
Walk in, niggaz havin' a ball off of Rah's joint
