"Dance in the Dark" is an up-tempo club beat song written by Lady Gaga and produced by Fernando Garibay, released on The Fame Monster. The song was performed alongside an acoustic version of "Telephone" at the BRIT Awards in 2010. It was intended to be the next single after "Telephone" but there was a dispute between Gaga and her record label, Interscope Records, and "Alejandro" was chosen instead.
