Music video
The video was shot in 3 days, starting on the 26th March 2009.
The video is set in an East London nightclub surrounded by lots of dancers. Alesha Dixon is wearing black leggings and gold shoes and has her hair in a high-black ponytail. The entire video is set in the club but there is lots of different looks and scenes going on. Near the end of the video everyone in the club is soaked with hoses.
The video was televised on Tuesday 7th April on 4Music at 7:00PM, and on terrestrial TV on Wednesday 8th April on Channel 4 at 00:05AM.[4] The video premiered, along with the single cover on Dixon's website on the 8th April, 2009.[5]
Reception
Give the past eight years of Alesha Dixon's career a dusting over and it's clear she's experienced more highs and lows than your average day out at Thorpe Park. However, over the past six months she's been unstoppable - largely because she's released exactly the right songs from her Alesha Show album. Catching our attention with the novelty-ish 'The Boys Does Nothing', she followed it up by showcasing her thoughtful side on 'Breathe Slow'. Now she's back and pulling her finest trick out from under her sleeve. Just in time (hopefully) for summer, 'Let's Get Excited' is a perfect slice of exuberant pop that's sure to fill the dancefloor after a day spent lounging on the beach. With a ridiculously catchy chorus punctuated by a classic Dixon "hey hey hey", it's topped off with one of the year's most genius lyrics so far: "I'm so excited - I'm a detective I'm all over you." Just begging to be played at full volume across the land, this is further evidence that Alesha Dixon is fast becoming a bit of a national treasure.[6]
It's a big, bouncy pop song about getting to the end of the week, kicking your heels up and hitting the dance floor. It allows her to show of those twinkly Strictly Come Dancing-winning toes in the vid and to do that rude girl shout-out thing she used to be so good at. "My ladies you gotta get in the game, get the fella that you want and have him begging for days!" Indeed.[7]
