Love On The Floor started with a moment, not a melody. I was out with friends on a Friday night in Peterborough, the kind of night where you almost didn't go — and then the bass dropped and everything in your week dissolved.
Somewhere between the second chorus of someone else's song and the strobe catching the mirror ball, I caught a stranger's eye across the floor. We didn't speak. We just danced. And for three and a half minutes the room felt like the safest place in the world.
That's the feeling I wanted to bottle. Not a love story with a beginning, middle and end — just the spark. The moment you stop performing and start moving. The moment a dancefloor turns into a love letter you didn't know you were writing.
Production-wise, I leaned into glitter. Big sidechained pads, a four-on-the-floor kick you can feel in your sternum, and a vocal hook I wanted people to shout back at me before the song was even over. I kept asking my co-producer Andy, "does it sparkle yet?" until it did.
When Love On The Floor hit number one on the ReverbNation Peterborough Pop Chart, I cried in my kitchen. Not because of the chart — because it meant other people had felt that same spark. That the song had done its job.
So this one's for the late arrivals, the shy dancers, the ones who almost stayed home. Find your floor. Find your person — even if it's just for one song. Love is already there, waiting under the lights.
