"Automatic (I'm Talking to You)" is a dance/pop song written by Torsten Stenzel & Adrian Zagoritis and recorded by the Dutch singer EliZe. EliZe recorded the song in early 2005 and released it on March 7, 2005 as the second single from her 2006 debut album In Control, which was released in October 2006. The song was produced, mixed and arranged by Peter Hartman and Jan Langhoff at the H&L Studio Copenhagen for TG Production Denmark. Given the title "Dancesmash" for the second time by Radio 538, the single reached the top ten in her native Top 40 chart, peaking at number 7 in the Dutch Top 40.

Review by Dirrrty Pop[1]:

This is quite possibly the best pop single of the year so far. If it's not the biggest dance hit of the year I shall be not only shocked but horrified - it deserves nothing less. If "Call on Me" can get to number 1 for 7 weeks or however ridicuously long it was, then this should be number 1 for at least a year. It's a good video in that Elize looks good and it fits the song, but I would have preferred it to be more of a girls going out having fun video than this almost desperately sexy one. This should be a song for girls (and boys) to dance their socks off to, not just for pervy men to ogle. It's just too good to fall to that level.
