Olly Alexander has finally unveiled the United Kingdom’s 2024 Eurovision Song Contest entry.
The track was co-written by the Years & Years star and electronic producer Danny L Harle about “feeling such an intense swell of emotion” for someone special.
“I wrote the song last summer with Danny L Harle, we started off with the word ‘Dizzy’ because it just popped into my head and I liked it,” he explains.
“I was thinking about fun things that could make you dizzy and I remember saying “dizzy from your kisses” so the song is about feeling such an intense swell of emotion for someone they totally turn your world upside down and inside out.”
Sharing inspirations including Erasure, Adamski and Pet Shop Boys behind the “magical” track, he adds: “Danny and I believe music should transport you somewhere magical and we wanted to describe this magical place in the song; a place of beautiful gardens, eternal flowers and time turning endlessly in an ecstatic loop.
“We took the feeling of Dizziness and put that into the production, so there’s a lot of undulating arpeggios, lilting harmonies and counter rhythms in the backing vocals.
“We were inspired by a lot of music we love from the ‘80s like Erasure, Adamski and of course Pet Shop Boys.”
Olly will perform the single at the Eurovision Song Contest Grand Final in Malmö, Sweden on May 11.
