Some songs announce a mood the second they start, and ‘Dance Alone’ is one of them. Daniela’s new single opens in Spanish before easing into an English hook, with Middle Eastern instrumentation threaded through the production for texture. It should not work as cleanly as it does, but the combination gives the track an edge that a more conventional pop single would lack.

The real draw is the confidence running through it. ‘Dance Alone’ is not a sad song wearing an empowerment anthem’s clothes. Daniela sounds like she owns the room from the first verse, claiming the dancefloor for herself rather than offering it up to anyone who has not earned a place on it. Think Shakira crossing paths with Beyonce’s ‘Beautiful Liar’, but with the drama swapped out for pure self-possession.

It fits neatly into what Daniela has been building. ‘Besame’ had critics reaching for Karol G and Kali Uchis, and ‘One Voice’ has racked up over 328,000 YouTube views, helped along by its World Cup connection. ‘Dance Alone’ adds another piece to a catalogue that consistently resists being pinned down, and that unpredictability is fast becoming her calling card.
