"Don't Stop the Music" is a song by Swedish singer Robyn from her third studio album Don't Stop the Music (2002). It was released as the album's second and final single on 20 January 2003 through BMG in Sweden, and serviced elsewhere in Europe by Jive in March 2003. Ulf Lindström and Johan Ekhé of production duo Ghost produced the song, and wrote it with Robyn, Remee, and Alexander Kronlund. A pop track with rock-influenced guitar riffs, its lyrics focus on self-empowerment, which Robyn stated aligned with the album's overall theme.
"Don't Stop the Music" received mixed reviews from music critics but proved commercially successful. It peaked at number seven on the Sverigetopplistan singles chart and achieved considerable airplay, ranking among the most-played songs on Swedish radio during the 2000s. The single also reached the top 20 in Norway and charted moderately in Belgium, the Netherlands, and Romania. The music video was filmed in November 2002 in Cape Town, where the shoot was temporarily halted after causing disturbances in a residential area. In 2004, girl group Play covered the song for its studio album Don't Stop the Music.
