"I Don't Wanna Talk (I Just Wanna Dance)"

(Don't wanna talk baby, I just wanna dance
I don't wanna talk no more)

Don't wanna talk baby, I just wanna dance
I don't wanna talk, no more living in the past baby
Don't wanna talk baby, I just wanna dance
And I'm not gonna stop till I forget what we had

We kissed in the morning on a summer day
You taste like cigarettes and hurricanes
There's a warning written in the corners of your face
Whiplash and you left me in a vapour trail

Now I know it's safe to say
Nothing's perfect anyway

(You say) You'd fall in love but you don't know how
We were good once but I'm fucked up now
(You say) I was done tryna work things out
I built the house and you burned it down

Don't wanna talk baby, I just wanna dance
I don't wanna talk, no more living in the past baby
Don't wanna talk baby, I just wanna dance
And I'm not gonna stop till I forget what we had

Just a minute now, there's something different now
All your moaning sounds, how's it all so loud?
Put the flowers down 'cause they look like clowns
Leave me to it then and let your hair grow out

Now I know it's safe to say
Nothing's perfect anyway

Don't wanna talk baby, I just wanna dance
I don't wanna talk, no more living in the past baby
Don't wanna talk baby, I just wanna dance
And I'm not gonna stop till I forget what we had

You'd fall in love but you don't know how
We were good once but I'm fucked up now
(You say) I was done tryna work things out
I built the house and you burned it down

Don't wanna talk baby, I just wanna dance
I don't wanna talk, no more living in the past baby
Don't wanna talk baby, I just wanna dance
And I'm not gonna stop till I forget what we had

Don't wanna talk baby, I just wanna dance
I don't wanna talk, no more living in the past baby
Don't wanna talk baby, I just wanna dance
And I'm not gonna stop till I forget what we had

You'd fall in love but you don't know how
We were good once but I'm fucked up now

"Talking is great, don't get me wrong," said Dave Bayley of Glass Animals, talking about "I Don't Wanna Talk (I Just Wanna Dance)" released on the 9th of September, 2021, "But this pandemic has made so many of us look inwards in a way we maybe haven't before. The uncertainty in the world and the inability to go out and create new memories makes you dig deep into the past. It really fed people's deepest insecurities and rattled our foundations in so many ways. [...] It felt like we were all put in a pressure cooker, but there was no way to let out the steam. That's what this track is about – that pressure cooker exposing and expanding so many cracks but struggling to fill them in and decompress. I want people to switch their devices off, put this song on, close their eyes, and have that release for a moment."
