It was written and produced by Kay Denar and Rob Tyger for her third studio album, ''Key to My Soul'' (2003). X-Cell Records released a duet version of the song, featuring guest vocals by Connor's then-husband Marc Terenzi's former band, Natural, on 1 March 2004 as the second and final single from the album. Lyrically, "Just One Last Dance" alludes to couple's final dance in a Spanish cafe before they are forced to part ways.
The song attained commercial success throughout Central Europe. In Germany, it became Connor's third chart-topper after "From Sarah with Love" and previous single "Music Is the Key" as well as one of the 30 best-selling singles of 2004, eventually reaching Gold status. Elsewhere in Europe, "Just One Last Dance" reached the top ten in Austria, the Czech Republic, and Switzerland. A music video, directed by Oliver Sommer and filmed in Orlando, portrays Connor and Terenzi as a high school couple.
