From the [[Dance Dance Revolution (1998 video game)|first ''DDR'' game]] in 1998 until the initial release of ''[[Dance Dance Revolution A]]'' in 2016, the series has licensed hundreds of songs from the ''[[Dancemania]]'' album series in Japan. This partnership resulted in some of the most popular songs in the series' history, including "[[Butterfly (Smile.dk song)|Butterfly]]" by [[Smile.dk]] and "[[Captain Jack (Captain Jack song)|Captain Jack (Grandale Remix)]]" by [[Captain Jack (group)|Captain Jack]]. Many of these songs were featured in other ''DDR'' releases across multiple platforms.

The music direction for the series has evolved over time. Early versions of ''DDR'' had a major focus on [[eurodance]] and [[disco house]] genres of music, with a variety of other songs branching into 1970s [[disco]], 1980s [[Hi-NRG]], and [[ska]], amongst others. This changed into the early-mid 2000s, where the game focused instead on [[trance music|trance]], [[eurobeat]], and [[J-Pop]]. Current versions of ''DDR'' have a heavy focus on a variety of styles, including [[vocaloid]] tracks, anime themes, and [[Billboard Hot 100]] hit songs.
