Hypnotized (Sophie Ellis-Bextor song)

"Hypnotized" is a 2022 song by English singer Sophie Ellis-Bextor and Scottish musician Wuh Oh.

Background
The song was written by Wuh Oh and Sophie Ellis-Bextor, and produced by Wuh Oh and Sega Bodega. It was first performed live by Ellis-Bextor on her Kitchen Disco Tour in March 2022. In May, a snippet of the song was previewed by Bodega on his social media.

A live version of the song, which includes an extra verse, was included on the concert album Kitchen Disco – Live at the London Palladium.

"Hypnotized" was described as an "avant-pop", "disco-pop", "icy club banger".

Ellis-Bextor performed the song on the Yarra River for the Australian breakfast TV show Sunrise.

Music video
The music video was directed by Ellis-Bextor's longtime collaborator Sophie Muller and filmed at Glasgow's Barrowland Ballroom. The cinematographer was Robbie Ryan. The video pictures Ellis-Bextor clad in a tight black latex dress designed by Atsuko Kudo in a Dita Von Teese-inspired styling. She performs sharp dance routines in front of a group of dancers in an abandoned theatre, leading them in a hypnotic cult-like manner. It also features Wuh Oh playing music at the DJ deck. The clip premiered on 26 July 2022.
