    As a kid, I was obsessed with her glittery green eyeshadow she wears in the music video
  • @user-pm8lk3se5m
    i hate how they named this interview, THIS IS NOT SOME "MURDER ON THE DANCE FLOOR SINGER" this is legendary SOPHIE ELLIS-BEXTOR
  • @seratonin7004
    I've never fallen out of love with this song or Sophie.
  • @CupidStunt0001
    Sophie's Live Kitchen Disco's through lockdown were awesome
  • @JRushe
    She has an amazing discography! Couldn’t happen to a more deserving woman ❤
  • @thisisit333
    It’s similar to ‘Stranger Things’ using Kate Bush’s Running Up that Hill! I love when fantastic music comes back around! ❤🎉
  • @vausty
    Its nuts that you find a song that perfectly encapsulates a film this much. Especially given the music video. BRAVO
  • @todayyesterday
    Sophie always beautiful I am still so obsessed with the official music video of Murder on the Dancefloor
  • @mcm2366
    She's been making lovely dance tracks for decades still going strong, even more lovely, and loved her family covid lockdown sets. The movie isn't that big of a deal or outrageous. Her song to me is far better than the movie and will outlive saltburn easily.

    I'm delighted that Sophies song has reached the top of the charts with one of the best songs ever written. She is such a great talented singer songwriter. Well done Sophie.

    I confess, I never knew about Sophie Ellis-Bextor. In the midwest of USA, British pop hits don't make much of a splash. But I'm glad I get to discover her now.
  • @tiagotiago8372
