The song is played at the end of the film with The Surge, played by Flawless, and The Breakpoint, played by Diversity, dancing out to it.[5] "We Dance On" was co-written and co-produced by the members of N-Dubz and Bodyrox.[1] The song features additional vocals and co-writing contributions from British recording artist Luciana and her partner Nick Clow.[1] The Canon in D Major was sampled as the song's string section and orchestral backing to add "classical spice" to the diverse nature of musical styles incorporated in "We Dance On".[2][4] The song was written to capture the euphoria of StreetDance 3D by lyrically being about overcoming prejudices and pursuing your dreams.[6] While musically, the song was written to incorporate a diverse variety of styles in the same way the film incorporates a diverse variety of dance and musical styles.[2] American singer Luciana recorded her own version of the song, which can be heard on the movie's official website.[7] "We Dance On" was first released in Ireland on 20 May 2010, via digital download.[8] A physical CD release was planned for 24 May 2010 in the United Kingdom.[9] The CD single, however, failed to surface, and instead the single was released as a digital download only on 23 May 2010.[10][11] A CD single was eventually released in Germany on 28 May.[12]
