About this listen

In this episode of the Fake TED Podcast, we take a closer look at Bruce Springsteen’s electrifying hit “Dancing in the Dark,” the breakthrough single from his 1984 album Born in the U.S.A.

Written in a moment of creative frustration, this Grammy-winning track became one of Springsteen’s most iconic and enduring songs, showcasing his ability to pair introspective lyrics with an upbeat, radio-friendly sound.

We’ll explore the story behind the song's creation, its themes of self-doubt, ambition, and yearning for change, and how it marked a shift in Springsteen’s musical style with its synth-driven production.

From the culturally iconic music video featuring a young Courteney Cox to its lasting impact on rock and pop music, “Dancing in the Dark” captures The Boss at his very best.

Tune in for a deep dive into how Bruce Springsteen lit a fire that still burns bright decades later.
