Rock Me, Baby [Songwriter Demo]: Bluesy Rock

Rock

Dec 18

For the moment when a first dance becomes the last first kiss.

If you’ve ever walked in to dance, not romance—and left with your world tilted—you’ll get this. “Rock Me, Baby” wraps that electric first-glance chemistry in a smoky, hip-sway groove with playful phrasing that invites crowd connection for a spotlight moment that lingers long after the lights come up.

“Rock Me, Baby” is a sultry, swing-tempo, minor-key blues-rock track with a classic “Fever” pulse. Mid-tempo and lyric-forward, it’s built for a female solo lead. The melody spans only a major ninth, making it effortless to deliver night after night. Great as a trio or full-band arrangement. Ideal for artist releases, club and theatre sets, dance showcases and competitions, and sync for rom-com, nightlife, ballroom, and slow-burn attraction scenes. New master recording required.

This demo is a songwriter recording intended to highlight the song’s potential for artists, producers, music supervisors, and choreographers. Any commercial release would require a new master recording.

The underlying song is available for recording and licensing for:

Artist releases (albums, EPs, singles)
Live performance and dance accompaniment
Film, TV, and sync opportunities

Behind the Song

Some songs have deeply meaningful origins, rooted in a moment or emotion I was trying to capture. And some are written just because of a cool idea, concept, or vibe. This song is one of the latter. I was a on a longish road trip by myself to a city five hours away. The first two lines hit me not far into the trip, and the song was written by the time I got there.

This song is about those rare instances when you meet someone on the dance floor and the chemistry is instant and electric. By the end of the night, you absolutely know this person will be important in your life. Does it happen often, or at all?

I’m a dreamer. I deal in the improbable possibilities of romance. So I say yes.

Lyrics

I just came here to dance

Didn’t come for romance

But then you took the floor and you rocked me.

You looked just as surprised

As you looked in my eyes

At the way that we moved when you rocked me.

When we came here tonight, we were strangers

Now we’re staring at love with all its dangers

So rock me gently baby, rock me sweet

Be the one to sweep me off my feet

I’ve been waiting for so long

For you to come along

Let’s dance another song

And rock me, baby.

Oh, your eyes are so blue

And you know just what to do

As we glide ’round the floor and you rock me.

Still, I’m begging for more

’Cause I wanna be sure

That it’s more than a dance as you rock me.

Every partner before you was all wrong

But now you’re leading me on to the beat of a new song.

So rock me gently baby, rock me sweet

Be the one to sweep me off my feet

I’ve been waiting for so long

For you to come along

Let’s dance another song

And rock me, baby.

[INSTRUMENTAL]

As the notes fade away, there’s no doubt this

Is the very last time I’ll have a first kiss.

So rock me gently baby, rock me sweet

Be the one to sweep me off my feet

I’ve been waiting for so long

For you to come along

Let’s dance another song

And rock me gently baby, rock me sweet

Be the one to sweep me off my feet

I’ve been waiting for so long

For you to come along

Let’s dance another song

And rock me, baby.

I just came here to dance

Didn’t come for romance

But then you took the floor and you rocked me.
