That saxophone is the first voice here, glossy and already wounded, with the drums and low part keeping everything smooth underneath.

Before the verse, his wordless vocal just softens the room around the sax.

When George Michael comes in, the confession is controlled: 'so unsure' is sung cleanly, not broken open.

The song names the dance floor while the track is already moving like one, which makes the scene feel public from the start.

Now the chorus turns the dance against him: he says he won't dance again, and the groove stays perfectly composed.

'Guilty feet' is such a sharp phrase because the rhythm underneath still knows exactly where to step.

The second verse changes the angle: now it's time and damage, while the warm harmony keeps circling instead of settling.

This chorus doesn't need a new shock. The same smooth return feels heavier because the lyric has already made the dance floor suspicious.

That small 'never without your love' line hangs by itself for a moment, more like an exposed thought than a full new section.

At the bridge, he sings that the music seems loud, and the private confession suddenly has a crowd around it.

The question 'who's gonna dance with me?' lands inside the same polished track, and that steadiness makes it lonelier.

The chorus returns again, familiar now: the voice asks for mercy, but the count keeps going.

In the outro, the repeated 'now that you're gone' feels less like a new argument than something echoing after the saxophone's hook has done its damage.

That last question leaves him alone inside the same elegant surface the song has kept from the beginning.
