What parents need to know
Parents need to know that "Something to Dance For" premiered on Shake It Up along with a single from Bella Thorne to stir up a little friendly competition between BFFs CeCe and Rocky. The DJ decides to mash the two together, and the result is a fun mix with both singles. Zendaya maintains her clean, positive image with this track about working hard for your dreams and realizing your gifts. No questionable content here, just great messages about striving to be your best.
What's the story?
In their second season, Zendaya and Bella Thorne have shown the ups and downs in the lives of Rocky and CeCe, BFFs and dance stars. Now stretching their wings as semi-solo artists, each girl released a single simultaneously. Zendaya's track is the stronger one, the inspirational single "SOMETHING TO DANCE FOR." The song is featured on Shake it Up: Live 2 Dance.
Is it any good?
We know that CeCe and Rocky work as a pair, and now they're showing they can stand, or sing, on their own, too. In her synth-lite, catchy club beat "Something to Dance For," Zendaya sings about realizing your gifts and talents and not being afraid to go for it: "When it's a gift worth taking a chance for / then this is something you dance for." Although nothing groundbreaking, the song is uplifting and sweet and sure to be a hit for fans of the dancing duo.

Fun, upbeat song for tweens
It's a nice song. But the CSM writer is being sorta bias with this. Just because they like this song better than Bella Thorne's they're put 3 on posistive role models but only 2 on TTYLXOX. Oh well.
