Writing and release
editLyrically, "One Last Dance" talks about breaking. To Seventeen Magazine, Ellington Ratliff said the inspiration for the song came from the happy memories of each break. "It's about ending on a good note and still being friends. Maybe you're going to college or going to the military. You want to remember the happy times you've had together instead of dwelling on the sad."[2] Riker and Ellington said that "One Last Dance" was their favorite song from Louder.[3] On May 30, 2014 the song was released to digital download.[citation needed] Strictly Leisure of Love Music Love Life said the song was "catchy" and the "story that captures your heart".[4] Xinhua of Spin Or Bin Music wasn't positive and criticized the vocals and lyrics.[5] However, the critic also said the song has "sweet melodic textures" and a "romantic feel".[5]
