Murder on the Dancefloor was released in 2001 by British singer Sophie Ellis-Bextor as a single from her debut solo album Read My Lips, becoming a major hit across Europe and Australia. The song returned to global attention in late 2023 after its prominent use in the final scene of the film Saltburn, where the track drives a naked dance through a stately home. Clips and recreations spread quickly on TikTok, pushing the song back into charts in 2024 and cementing it as a go-to soundtrack for bold, celebratory dance moments online.
