Billy Idol Drops "Still Dancing" with a Club-Tastic Video
Billy Idol has unleashed his new single "Still Dancing" along with a music video that proves age is just a number: the 69-year-old legend hits the club, cutting the rug with the energy of kids half his age. The track is a taste of his upcoming album Dream Into It, set to drop on April 25.
In "Still Dancing," Idol takes a nostalgic spin through his London youth, tipping his hat to a career that’s defied the odds for decades. Back in the day, naysayers told a young Idol he’d never make it in music—but they couldn’t have been more wrong. Here’s what the man himself had to say:
“At home and at work, everyone swore it’d never happen. But punk rock threw me a lifeline. I found myself surrounded by folks who lived and breathed music just like I did. You had to shake off the doubts, bet on yourself, and grab hold of your life with both hands.”
"Still Dancing" doesn’t shy away from the darker corners of Idol’s past, laying bare moments of self-destruction. Yet it’s his wild, enduring love for music—sparked all those years ago—that kept him standing. To him, it’s the greatest gift imaginable.
Here’s the tracklist for Dream Into It, a nine-song lineup featuring duets with heavy hitters like Avril Lavigne, Joan Jett, and Alison Mosshart of The Kills:
- "Dream Into It"
- "77" (featuring Avril Lavigne)
- "Too Much Fun"
- "John Wayne" (featuring Alison Mosshart)
- "Wildside" (featuring Joan Jett)
- "People I Love"
- "Gimme The Weight"
- "I’m Your Hero"
- "Still Dancing"
Idol’s last full-length outing, Kings & Queens of the Underground, hit in October 2014, making Dream Into It his first album in over a decade. He kept the fires burning with the 2022 EP The Cage and a standout feature on Miley Cyrus’s Plastic Hearts (2020). In 2025, Idol might just snag a spot in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame—fingers crossed, we’ll find out by late April.
