Sophie Ellis-Bextor has released her new single “Stay On Me,” alongside a cinematic music video filmed in southwest Ireland. Following her single “Dolce Vita,” which dropped in July, “Stay On Me” is officially the final introduction to her eighth studio album Perimenopop, which is out now on all streaming platforms.

Co-written by an all-star team consisting of Selena Gomez, Julia Michaels, Kid Harpoon, and Caroline Ailin, “Stay On Me” is a disco-driven pop anthem about the joy of a long-term romance. Ellis-Bextor explains, “I always picture a ’60s dreamscape scene when I sing it. It brings out the flirtatious and soft focus feels, with a heart full of joy and desire.”

The music video, directed by Sophie Muller and filmed by award-winning cinematographer Robbie Ryan, is Ellis-Bextor’s 19th collaboration with Muller. Shot over two days in County Kerry, the film sets the singer against Ireland’s coastlines and rolling green hills. Moving through wide, dramatic landscapes, Ellis-Bextor embodies the song’s themes. The natural setting only adds to the track’s romantic core bringing a timeless feeling to the pop-disco melody.

With a 25 year musical career, Ellis-Bextor has five Top 10 albums and eight Top 10 singles. Her hits include “Murder on the Dancefloor,” “Take Me Home,” “Get Over You,” “Heartbreak (Make Me a Dancer),” and many more.  This latest single is only a continuation of her wildly successful career and stands as a highlight of her newest album Perimenopop.
