I suppose you made this at 3AM...

For one, the bass is VERY overpowering, and sounds flat and a little popply on the speakers. Or at least mine.

On the technical side, you have to work on quite a few things:

-learn to pan songs in FL:
Everything is falling right on the center, which makes the song as a whole feel muddy and cluttered. The little knobs right next to FL control where the instruments hit; try experimenting so you actually give things a chance to breathe instead of everything thudding onto one particular section. I did the same thing in my first couple of FL songs, so I'm giving you a bit of wisdom here.

-the synths/instruments sound flat and uninspired:
There's no reverb, no sustain, no nothing, so everything sounds overly mechanical, even for a dance song. Yes, I know dance is supposed to be electronic. But it sounds like it exists in a solid vacuum, and the sound itself does not travel or breathe. Learn to experiment with FL's sustain/reverb knobs, as well as filter effects, because you will find that the majority of your unique sounds on FL come from experimenting with filter effects (or at least that is what I found to be true). The synth sounds themselves all sound like they are all the preset basic default stuff FL has to offer; I recommend searching around the place looking for some good free synths, etc. Look up monomate VST; it is a whole set of excellent free stuff.

So yeah, this was not too good, but then again, no one is good when they first start out. Keep on improving and finding your voice, man.
