Been a huge fan of Sophie’s for a long time. The joy i feel right now seeing her on the tonight show is indescribable

[@Pulker84]

This was a hit in Italy and Europe in 2001. While Americans were only listening to their hip-hop music in dark clubs, we were happily dancing in our discos full of colours and lights with Sophie-Ellis Bextor, Alcazar, DB Boulevard, Eiffel 65, House of Glass, Billy More, and many others

[@picknflixnetflixamazonprim7535]

Sophie deserves this. She helped so many people through lockdown with her kitchen discos. She's such a lovely lady, and the mother to five kids!! What a great tune (was in 2002 too!!)

[@AnimeLeirus]

This is a blessing for her, I would think. A whole new generation loving your music is exciting. 😊

[@lancebaylis3169]

This lady has been rocking this song for 20 years, and still hits every step of it perfectly. ❤️❤️❤️

[@Namipew]

Love that Sophie is finally getting so much love globally!

[@lol-hamartinezsilva8716]

Omg!!! I can’t believe this!. She was singing the song whit jimmy’s show 😮 one of my favorites songs from 2002!!!. Love you Sophie!!! Good memories!.

[@mcplutt]

[@welthinelo1899]

People need to unite and stream and buy the song ‘Murder on The Dancefloor’ by Ms. Sophie Ellis-Bextor for it to climb up the American Billboard Hot 100 charts ! I love love Sophie !!!!!

[@emilyal-zeibak7862]

YES QUEEN ❤ this is my childhood! It's also always played at every wedding and gets everyone up and dancing 🎉 Sophie did kitchen discos throughout covid from her home and cheered all of us up with her fun and enthusiasm. So happy to see her getting recognition from the US now!

[@anaishayden]

Yep I’m here because of Saltburn. Glad she got to Americans to discover her. She’s loving reaching a new audience. Music is powerful, never know where it takes you

[@jcEstrada]

More than 20 years and she still stunning 🤩

[@Grant_Ferstat]

and 5 kids later!

[@rubywine9487]

For people only just discovering the divine Sophie Ellis-Bextor, you should check out Take Me Home. That was another massive hit, and equally addictive.

[@mrxman581]

That song was a cover of a Cher disco classic released in 1979.

[@ruthzb1109]

The other hit was Can't fight this feeling. At least in Spain 🎉

[@CHUPACHIEP]

And don't forget "Groovejet (If This Ain't Love)"

[@jonnywishbone4805]

And _Get Over You_ - I also recommend her ‘True Faith’ cover, originally by *New Order*

[@scsutton1]

I Won't Change You and Music Gets The Best Of Me are also hits of hers that I'd recommend.

[@iTeacupPanda]

I'm so glad she is having a resurgence in any capacity. She is so deserving. I've always loved her, she wasn't just stunningly gorgeous. She has such a gorgeous timber to her voice. That rasp and breathiness and tone? Ugh she has such a good voice.

[@SofLuvU]

I'm from Perú and I remember watching the videoclip on TV when I was a kid back in 2001, I loved this song so much

[@jamie9238]

I love her stage presence. She’s genuinely having a good time and you can feel it.

[@terrywright7470]

Sophie has had FIVE children, and she still looks like a 21 year old, those endless, fantastic legs, and figure, with not a trace of a wrinkle on her face This is not the use of plastic surgery, it is her genes and sheer hard work. She has my utmost admiration.

[@jacquelinepaul9731]

5...gee

[@katiesimpson3131]

​@@jacquelinepaul9731her husband is in the Band the Feeling as well, who have had a number of bops themselves in the early 00s. Feel good music from both Sophie & her hubby

[@ManAtPlace]

Plastic surgery can be so minimal😂 Lil bit of Botox here and there goes a long way

[@joliecide]

She's drinking tiger blood. Winning!

[@JavenarchX]

She's so amazing

[@stantwitter2022]

She turned the entire show to her own show ❤

[@itscoachheidy]

So happy to hear this song play over and over again like I did 20 years ago. So many great memories 🎉

[@hisnameispan]

she deserves all the flowers she's currently getting and more!

[@nicholasgarrick8855]

Sophie deserves it so happy she getting more recognized in America with her music so talented ,and great artist🎉❤

[@CactusEnrage]

I fell in love with her makeup (and her song) back then 😂

[@jonnysmythe]

Absolutely Amazing!!!! This song is incredible and Sophie deserves all the recognition she’s finally now receiving! 😁😁

[@borisrohland6663]

Her full discography is amazing! I love Sophie EB

[@Robshta]

Gooooo Sophie!!! Loved her Covid stay home live parties 🥳 she kept us all entertained during them dark days!! Greeeat song!! Takes me back to London early y2k!!

[@rosiem1]

It is so refreshing to hear the actual artist singing live and not lip singing to her own music. Awesome!

[@1w598]

I just heard this song for FIRST time yesterday & i love it.

[@sethchild522]

Shout out from The States. I’m so happy Sophie is finally getting some recognition here. I’ve been a fan since Groovejet. I just wish Jimmy had interviewed her and asked where she’s been. I’d like to hear her response

[@campbellqphotos]

I agree an interview would have been nice but to answer the question, here in the UK, she's never been away. There's a huge back catalogue of songs for America to discover. Tours regularly in the UK.

[@williammurphy3766]

Yes, 22 years and five children later.

[@katiesimpson3131]

I think honestly Sophie is the UK's sweetheart & everyone is proud of her being appreciated over the Atlantic even if it took 20+ years. The daughter of Janet Ellis Bexter beloved Blue Peter presenter. Rock on Sophie!

[@Dpageantbuff]

I started listening to this song again 2 years ago before the release of Saltburn and there was that renewed appreciation to the song, so you cna imagine my surprise when it was played in the movie! Absolute banger!

[@reneroo277]

Great to see this song revived. It was always awesome. Good for Sophie 🎉

[@arealoldname8461]

LOVE that she is getting this second wind....and The Roots put the funk into that: loved that.

[@fedeb1854]

So happy for her!! After 23 years!! The US tv debut I can’t believe it!!

[@z24fant4stik]

God, i was 7 years old and i remember the iconic videoclip… how can she be even more beautiful?

[@medicenrana]

What an ageless queen! 🥰 My heart is full❤
