Produced by Nile Rodgers. The music video for Let’s Dance was directed by David Mallet in March 1983 in Australia at a bar in in New South Wales and at the Warrumbungle National Park. Bowie chose to include residents of the town of the bar, most of whom had no knowledge of who David Bowie was or why they were shooting a video. The video features an Aboriginal couple and also features the red shoes Bowie sings of in the song, which serve as a motif in the video. These references constistute part of the several statements by Bowie featured on the album concerning the integration of one culture with another. The pop appeal of Let’s Dance garnered Bowie an entirely new base of fans who were young and unaware of Bowie’s prior works and successes.

Let's Dance comes tearing out of the gate, propulsed by the skittering "Modern Love," the seductively menacing "China Girl," and the brittle funk of the title track.

Let's Dance is het vijftiende studio-album van David Bowie. Het verscheen in april 1983 en bracht drie hits voort; China Girl, Modern Love en de leidende titelsong die de nummer 1-positie in de Nederlandse top-40 behaalde. Let's Dance werd in Nederland het derde bestverkochte album van 1983. Producer Nile Rodgers was van grote invloed op de totstandkoming van dit album waaraan Chic-collega Bernard Edwards en bluesgitarist Stevie Ray Vaughan hun medewerking verleenden.

When we did Let’s Dance, a lot of people don’t realize it was an album of basically covers. He hired me as a producer to rearrange that had already been created. He gave me Cat People, which he had done with Giorgio Moroder, and China Girl, which he had done with Iggy Pop – there were already versions. But Bowie imagined another world that could be: Let’s see what that might be like. He commissioned me to make a very commercial version of China Girl – although I thought he was going to fire me when I played him that riff.
