"Dancing in the Dark" is a 1983 song by the English pop singer Kim Wilde, released as the second single from her third studio album, Catch as Catch Can (1983). The song marked a change in direction for the singer, with more of a dance-oriented style than her earlier work. It did not meet with the success of previous singles, only just scraping into the UK Top 75. Its peak at No. 67 was Wilde's lowest chart showing up to this point and would remain so until 1990's "Time". The single remains Wilde's final UK release with her original record label, RAK Records.
