"Dangerous" is a song by anonymous English rock band Sleep Token. It is the fourth out of ten tracks from their fourth studio album, Even in Arcadia, released May 2025.
Critical reception Susan Hansen of Clash wrote "Suitably, starting in a state of introversion, the electronic ballad-esque 'Dangerous' offers a quietude prior to storm vitality that engages".
Eli Enis of Pitchfork commented that the album's "fleetingly pleasurable moments arrive when Vessel sings mournfully over stormy guitars and pummeling rock drums", mentioning the "explosion" in the song as an example.
In a ranking of the album's songs, Mackenzie Cummings-Grady of Billboard placed "Dangerous" at #10 of 10 , stating that the use of trap and dubstep was "admirable, [but] Even in Arcadia is filled with moments [...] where the guitars are so heavy, and the screams are so dense [...] a dubby bass hit just packs less of a punch." It "feels crowded, with Vessel's voice drowned out by the mash of guitars and beats and backing vocals that perforate the song".
