Act 1, Scene 5. Kardashian House Hold.
“Dance with Me Tonight”,Olly Murs
When Usher sees North for the first time at the Kardashian house and is falling in love with her due to her beauty Usher compares her to torches overflowing with light. His persistent nature leads him to pursue her on the dance floor in order to win her over. The presence of the motif of light and beauty make “Dance with Me Tonight”, by Olly Murs, the perfect song for the scene. This song fades into the background as Usher sees North dancing and exclaims, “O, she doth teach the torches to burn bright/ It seems she hangs upon the cheek of night as a rich jewel in an Ethiop’s ear.” (1.5.51-52) Similarly, in the song, the singer says, “Look around there's a whole lot of pretty ladies, but none like you, you shine so bright, yeah,” and, “I knew right then, that you'd be mine, and we'd be dancing the whole damn night right.” Also, when Olly Murs sings the chorus of, “Ooh, oh baby, I just want you to dance with me tonight,” the audience will appreciate the extremity of Usher’s anticipation and desire to meet Juliet. Additionally, the song choice will further help them to comprehend when Friar Miley tells Usher, “ Young men’s love then lies/ Not truly in their hearts, but in their eyes.” (2.3.71-72) To conclude, this upbeat song helps to show Usher’s eagerness and passion and include the motif of light.

Lyrics to “Dance with Me Tonight” by Olly Murs :
Ladies and Gentlemen we've got a special treat for you tonight, I'm gonna call my friend Olly up here to sing to you ladies, Olly! Let's go man,
My name is Olly, nice to meet you, can I tell you baby, Look around there's a whole lot of pretty ladies, But none like you, you shine so bright, yeah.
I was wondering if you and me could spend a minute, On the floor up and close getting lost in it, I won't give up without a fight.
I just wanna, ooh, oh baby, I just want you to dance with me tonight, So come on, ooh, oh baby, I just want you to dance with me tonight.
We're getting sweaty, hot and heavy in the crowd now, Loosen up and let your hands go down, down, Go with it girl, yeah just close your eyes, yeah.
I feel the music moving through your body, Looking at you I can tell you want me, Don't stop keep going till the morning light, yeah.
When I saw you there, Sitting all alone in the dark acting like you didn't have a care, I knew right then, that you'd be mine, and we'd be dancing the whole damn night right, Ooh, oh baby, I just want you to dance with me tonight , So come on, ooh, oh baby, I just want you to dance with me tonight.
Break it down now, shake it like that, now bring it all back, To dance with me tonight, One more time, one more time, come on now. Do your thing, everybody sing, I just want you to dance with me tonight, yeah, I just wanna, ooh, oh baby , I just want you to dance with me tonight Ooh, just close your eyes, we can dance all through the night I just want you to dance with me tonight, And everybody sing, girl just close your eyes We can dance all through the night, I just want you to dance with me tonight , So come on, just close your eyes, ooohhh, We can dance all through the night, I just want you to dance with me tonight.
Ladies and Gentlemen we've got a special treat for you tonight, I'm gonna call my friend Olly up here to sing to you ladies, Olly! Let's go man,
