While Murder on the Dancefloor’s Saltburn-seasoned second wind has given a considerable boost to the career of Sophie Ellis-Bextor, it’s also been good news for Gregg Alexander, the former New Radicals frontman who co-wrote the song, which was originally released in 2001. Now, in a rare interview, he’s been giving his reaction to having a hit record all over again. 

“A publisher told me that in January it was the most heard music on the planet,” Alexander told The Guardian. “That’s just incredible.”
