"Me and My Imagination" is a pop song written by Sophie Ellis-Bextor, Hannah Robinson and Matt Prime for Ellis-Bextor's third album, Trip the Light Fantastic. The song was released as the album's second single in May 2007, reaching number twenty-three on the UK singles chart. The song reached number one in Greenland in July 2007.[1] The single's digital release caused controversy when iTunes failed to add the song until a week after it was supposed to be released, appearing on 14 May 2007, instead of 7 May 2007. Ellis Bextor believed she would have scored a Top 10 hit if the problem hadn't occurred.[2] She described the error as "a nightmare", and believed it placed her chart position in jeopardy.[2] The single sold 10,000 copies in the United Kingdom.[3] "Me and My Imagination" later appeared on the Abercrombie & Fitch playlist in America.[4] The song was prominently used in several episodes of the Spanish television series Supermodelo, the Spanish version of America's Next Top Model. Pitchfork Media ranked "Me and My Imagination" at #87 on its list of the 100 greatest tracks of 2007.[5]

[edit] Music video
The music video was directed by Nourizadeh Nima and filmed in west London. Sophie Muller was Ellis-Bextor's first choice to direct the video, but Muller had to decline the offer when she broke her ankle.[6] The video features Ellis-Bextor in various places, singing to the camera. There are four sequences; the first takes place on an empty street, which then turns into a black studio. The second features Ellis-Bextor dancing in the studio in front of a troupe of dancers, each wearing illuminated costumes of different colours. The third sequence takes place in a park, while the fourth has Ellis-Bextor finding cover from the rain in London.
