"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 (2007). 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 UK failed to add the song until a week after it was supposed to be released on May 7, 2007.[2] Ellis-Bextor called the error "a nightmare" because it placed her chart position in jeopardy.[2] "Me and My Imagination" is currently on the Abercrombie & Fitch playlist in America.[3]
It is also prominently used on several Supermodelo 2008 episodes, the Spanish version of America's Next Top Model, and it is used in the beginning of the show.

[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.[4]
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.
