Hide AdAlexander said he and British producer Danny L Harle were inspired to write the song by music from the 1980s they love, including from London pop duo Erasure, British DJ Adamski and the Pet Shop Boys.
“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 said.
“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.”
Alexander said he shared the belief that “music should transport you somewhere magical” and that the pair “wanted to describe this magical place in the song”.
