CHOREOGRAPHER’s NOTE’s
The music is a bit different in that halfway through the track it picks up pace “a bit” at 2:39 to transform into a dance remix of the track. If the above listed version cannot be found the dance fits the album/radio version (3:39 – 16 count intro starting on vocals) and the full Dave Aude Radio Mix (3:39 – 32 count into starting on vocals).
