About This Song
Better When I'm Dancing by Meghan Trainor (2015) is an upbeat, feel-good pop song that introduces the Dsus4 chord — a simple and beautiful variation of the standard D chord. To play Dsus4, simply add your little finger on the third fret of the first string while holding a D chord. The intro uses D–Dsus4–Em–A, which creates that characteristic tension-and-release feel. The verse follows a clean D/G/Em/A/D loop. All chords are open position with no barre chords or capo. This song is great for building the habit of sus4 chord variations — a technique used constantly in pop guitar playing. Popular with students in beginner guitar classes at JBX Music in Mumbai.
