Track DescriptionAvailable in:
"Today the Sun's on Us" is a song by the English recording artist Sophie Ellis-Bextor from her third studio album Trip the Light Fantastic (2007). It was written by Ellis-Bextor alongside Steve Robson and Nina Woodford, while production was helmed by Jeremy Wheatley and Brio Taliaferro. A pop ballad, it contains electric and bass guitar; its melancholic lyrics address living the "good times". The track served as the third single from the album, and was released on 6 August 2007 as a CD single.
The music video for "Today the Sun's on Us" was filmed in Iceland. The video begins with Ellis-Bextor, wearing a black dress and short hair, trying to talk to her on-screen boyfriend, who is sending text messages through his phone. Later, she plays a sudoku game on a computer however her boyfriend makes her leave. He starts browsing through pictures of a man and a woman kissing, who are later seen by Ellis-Bextor and her boyfriend through the window of the hotel room. The following day, they start following the recently-arrived couple, and at night, in the hotel restaurant, Ellis-Bextor manages to steal the couple's room key and breaks into the room. She steals money from a safe in the room, while in the restaurant, her boyfriend looks at the other couple repeatedly. She and her boyfriend pack and leave the hotel, and the latter gets angry when he learns that Ellis-Bextor has stolen from the couple. She decides to abandon their car, and, seemingly angry as well, goes near a cliff. The visual ends with him trying to comfort Ellis-Bextor, hugging her.
