About Today the Sun's on Us

"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. Critical response to "Today the Sun's on Us" was mixed—some appreciated the overall tone of the song, and others criticized Ellis-Bextor's vocal performance. Commercially, the song had very limited success, peaking at number 64 on the UK Singles Chart. An accompanying music video was filmed in Iceland, and features Ellis-Bextor and her boyfriend stealing a couple.

I can see you're somewhere far away
Caught in another place
Where nothings going right
Shouldn't worry about
The worst that could be
When you're here beside me
Don't look for troubled times
Now when everything is fine

So you need to fear the bad to see the good
And that's the thing you do
But don't let it spoil the view
Of what's around you

[Chorus]
There's no rain, there's no storm
Though the blue sky makes you wonder
Don't you fear what will come
Will come
And right now we're in the sun
Sure enough, seasons change
But don't let today get lost
'Cause today the sun's on us
Today the sun's on us
You're so restless

Underneath the surface
Don't you think I notice
It's something you can't hide
When you're fighting with the tide
But you've got to let it go
And just accept the things you can't control
Don't let your shadow spoil the view
Of what's around you

[Chorus]

The years go by
Stars will rise and fall
Will you be by my side
Though it all?

[Chorus]

Today, the sun's on us
