According to a poster on Popjustice, Strictly requested Scared of the Dark, because it thematically fits in with their Halloween special.

 

I don't think it's a bad idea. The vast majority of the viewing audience will probably never have heard Scared of the Dark before, and personally I think it's a better song than the current single - so I reckon it'll have wider appeal/connect better. I would imagine Steps are focusing on this appearance being an opportunity to open themselves up to a new audience / or people who remember them, but have somehow overlooked the comeback/the album so far. Scared is arguably the best song amongst their new music to be able to do this the most effectively!

I usually dislike it when artists 'waste' big promo slots with non-current singles but I'm definitely supporting the decision to perform 'Scared in the Dark', largely for the reasons stated by Jay. Steps aren't going to be getting a proper hit single anyway so I'm thinking this more of an opportunity to give the fans another fantastic performance on a huge platform of what is largely considered the best song off the album. It's also a good opportunity to remind people of the song who may have enjoyed it at the time of release and encourage them to seek out the album in the run up to Christmas.

Poor Steps - when they released 'Scared Of The Dark' Ant & Dec had them on Saturday Night Takeaway performing 'Tragedy' and now they have released 'Dancing With A Broken heart' they now get invited to perform SOTD on Strictly!

 

Still excellent promo for them and will give them a great album boost :wub:

A performance slot on Strictly is not to be sniffed at, ten million viewers of whom loads will not have even realised they've returned.

 

Scared of the Dark is the best song for them to perform IMO. The Strictly dancers will take attention away from them so it needs to be all about the voices, the sound quality and the music.

A performance of scared of the dark is unlikely to capture much new interest in their re-release. I think most people who the album will appeal to will already have it and they would do better to perform a new song from the reissue but not that terrible "dancing with a broken heart".
Shame Steps are not really doing full on dance routines this era. I’m guessing it’s because they are going to focus / have been focusing a lot more on live vocals for the current music industry which makes sense.

Dancing with a broken heart has become my third favourite of the era I love it. I loved it from the start but I don't know Delta's version so had nothing to compare it to. To me it's like a brand new song.

 

1. Story of a heart

2. Scared of the dark

3. Dancing with a broken heart

4. Neon blue

 

Those are my four top tracks of the era. They have released every single one as a single! Such good taste guys :wub:

All songs are strong and excellent choices of singles. Had they been released in the olden days they would have all been sure fire top 5 hits for them.

 

1 Scared of the dark

2 Neon blue

3 Story of a heart

4 Dancing with a broken heart

Previews of September Sun and Fool for You are now up on Instagram

It's a shame the singles haven't been big hits as they are all good. While we know they will never have a hit they have done so well since the reform.scared of the dark done great to get top 40 but it deserved so much better.
Scared of the Dark done amazingly well to reach the top 40 and also reach number 1 on iTunes.
The new tracks on the reissue are definately not as good. Bit disappointed. Not sure if I will even buy the reissue.
