'Murder on the Dancefloor' Nearly Released as New Radicals' Debut Single

Gregg Alexander reveals the iconic track was almost the band's first release, before choosing 'You Get What You Give' instead.

Gregg Alexander of New Radicals initially wrote 'Murder on the Dancefloor' as a potential debut single, but ultimately released 'You Get What You Give'.
The song, co-written with Sophie Ellis-Bextor, gained renewed popularity following its feature in the movie 'Saltburn'.
Alexander's decision was influenced by the urgency from the record company and budget constraints.
The unreleased demo of 'Murder on the Dancefloor' showcases the band's signature sound and was shared with Ellis-Bextor after the band's split.
Sophie Ellis-Bextor's resurgence in popularity, including a U.S. chart breakthrough and TV debut, is attributed to the song's success.
