Kofi Annan, then Secretary General of the United Nations said about the song[1]

"dance4life" is a wonderful example of how the talent and strength of young people can energise our strengths.

The video for the song is a demonstration of the small world phenomenon, which is an important concept in the widespread transmission of HIV and AIDS. The original edit of the video demonstrates a link of 6 people from Tiësto back to himself, however the normally broadcast version of it cuts his first appearance out, as well as removing the mention of the phenomenon.

In 2008 Tiësto mixed a new version of dance4life, it is featured in the Elements of Life World Tour DVD as "dance4life (Freedom Mix)". This new mixed version appears in the promotional video for dance4life.

gollark: > if it works in one video game, it should work in another video game tooFirstly, that makes absolutely no sense and is utterly wrong.
gollark: You can't just magically add extra hardware to things and somehow influence AI behavior.
gollark: Those do not, in fact, actually exist.
gollark: ························ no you utter triskaidecagonal idiot.
gollark: Anyway, checksumming potatOS files on bootup would be good, except potatOS doesn't really have versions as such and there's no build process which could generate a hash.
