Recording

Some of the members of Liquid Gold did not have great belief in the song, such as Syd Twynham; however, lead singer Ellie Hope was more hopeful for its success. Syd Twynham recalled, "We didn't think it really going to happen but we were playing a residency at Caesar's Palace in Luton and the song came on and everyone was dancing so we were really surprised when it took off the way it did".[2]^{[unreliable source?]}

Reception

Barry Lederer in Billboard was positive: "As with the first hit, this new release is, equally, energetic, uplifting and a step forward for the group."[3]

Charts

Covers and samples

The song was covered by Jane McDonald in 2016 and released as a single. In 1999, Northern Irish DJ Paul Masterson, working under the alias Yomanda, sampled "Dance Yourself Dizzy" for his track "Synth & Strings", which reached number eight on the UK Singles Chart.[11][12]
