“Dancing By Myself” lands as BamBam’s Thai-language pre-release single, a scene-setter for his first Thai EP HOMETOWN due 10 October 2025.
It pairs him with Thai R&B hitmaker TIMETHAI and arrives with a glossy, after-hours music video that leans into skyline romance and light-on-your-feet choreography.
The single went live on 12 September 2025, with streaming runtimes hovering around the two-to-three-minute pop sweet spot and over 8 million views on Youtube in one day.
On the page and in the pocket, the song is exactly what its title advertises: a night out for one.
The first verse flips between Thai and English as he sets the rules of engagement, “Do what you wanna do tonight,”pushing back against clingy small talk and drifting toward self-possession on the floor.
The chorus spells the song’s intention in plain letters, “If you wanna dance then dance with somebody… I’ll be all night dancing by myself,” before the post-chorus drills the mantra.
The second verse paints the room with “lights and my song and a sip of alcohol” and seals the boundary, “don’t really need you to stay… let me be in my zone.”
The production keeps the dance card tidy and modern: percolating percussion, bouncy bass, and rhythm guitar lift a melody that sticks in your head.
While the mellifluous vocals and call-and-response ad-libs keep BamBam upfront and give TIMETHAI the glide he’s known for.
That balance of sleek groove and unfussy topline is highly effective, the kind of uncomplicated bounce that earns head-nods on first pass.
The video doubles down on that intent. Shot as a high-style night in Bangkok, it places the duo in a luxury sky-lounge, cutting between wide city views and close-quarters dance; the camera drinks in glass, neon, and tailored silhouettes as they trade steps like old sparring partners.
Local press describe it as “handsome, charming looks… singing and dancing amid the luxurious ambience of a rooftop lounge, with Bangkok’s nightscape framed like a film.”
In other words: fashion-forward escapism, but with the city as a co-star.
“Dancing By Myself” is BamBam’s first full Thai-language single and the opening move in a campaign depicted explicitly as a homecoming, hence HOMETOWN, and a lane-switch toward bright, straight-up dance music within Thailand’s mainstream.
Across teasers and reposts, he punctures the mood with a dead-simple invitation, “Do what you wanna do tonight,” which reads like both a lyric cue and a user manual for the track.
Taken at face value, it’s the song’s point: agency first, permission unnecessary.
From our seat, the way it’s landing splits along a line that suits a pre-release.
The upside is immediate: Thai-language BamBam sounds natural, the TIMETHAI blend is smooth, the MV is a polished advert for night-life confidence, and the hook is built to live on short-form video without feeling like it was born in a boardroom.
The other side of the ledger is more about appetite than execution: the structure is intentionally economical verse, hook, repeat, which may feel engineered to listeners chasing a riskier bridge or a left-turn middle eight.
Right now, though, the compact design serves the concept; this is a song about reclaiming your space, and it wastes little time doing so.
A Thai pop review called the choreography “can’t-look-away,” which tracks with the replay culture it’s walking into.
A few lyric moments worth holding on to if you’re mapping meaning or building captions: the opener’s invitation “Do what you wanna do tonight” and the chorus-as-boundary “I’ll be all night dancing by myself,” both of which read as a lightly defiant rebrand of “alone” into “free.”
As a package, Thai lyrics, stylish music video, TIMETHAI’s cameo, concise structure, “Dancing By Myself” does the foundational job a pre-release should.
It primes the ear for the EP’s direction, makes the case for BamBam’s Thai-language pivot, and leaves just enough oxygen for whatever twists HOMETOWN has queued up next.
