"Slow Dancing" is a song recorded by South Korean singer V of BTS for his debut album Layover. It was released by Big Hit Music on September 8, 2023, as the third single from the album. Produced by Jinsu Park and Freekind, who wrote the song alongside Donghyun Kim, Gigi, Cautious Clay, and Sam Gendel, "Slow Dancing" is a soul track driven by a simple jazz rhythm whose lyrics depict a "typical love story".

Music and lyrics

A 1970s romantic soul song with a simple jazz rhythm, "Slow Dancing" was written by its producers Freekind and Jinsu Park, together with Donghyun Kim, Gigi, Cautious Clay, and Sam Gendel. Lyrically, V sings of a "typical love story", with "one lover pining over another singing words such as 'It shouldn't feel like this, hurts too much already."

Accolades

"Slow Dancing" won six first place trophies—it achieved a triple crown on M Countdown—on domestic television music shows, and two consecutive Melon Popularity awards for the weeks ending September 18 and 25, 2023. It was nominated for and won Best Music – Fall at the Fact Music Awards in October.
