Xx https://t.co/8D6Z8G0kcf— Sophie Ellis-Bextor (@SophieEB) January 1, 2024Speaking previously about the scene itself, the singer said she “wasn’t quite prepared for the visual”.“I didn’t really know exactly how it would play in terms of the role it was in the movie until I saw it at the screening, but I absolutely loved it,” she added. “I think it’s such a clever, funny, smart film.
I really enjoyed it.”Ellis-Bextor added that she was happy for director Emerald Fennell to use her song, because they “didn’t really have a plan B” for the film.“She just felt like it tied everything together in terms of the tone of the film and the juxtaposition of the sort of sweetness of the pop song, but also a little sting in the tail with the lyrics as well,” she said. “I think it works.
But how lovely for me, I mean, look, I’ve been singing ‘Murder’ for over 20 years and it’s so nice that it still has the power to surprise me.”She has since responded to a user on X who asked when she wrote the song, whether she envisaged it being used in such a way.
