“You don't need alcohol to dance. When you dance, it gives others permission to dance. You don't need alcohol to dance. I always have a good time putting them together. And now a word from our sponsor, BetterHelp, before we hear from Cindy. The song outlines how nobody knows what they're doing in life and we're all just trying our best, winging it and hoping things go well when we sometimes feel so lost. I love this song.”
