"Electric" is a song recorded by Swedish artist Leila K. It is produced by Denniz Pop and Max Martin, and released as a single in late 1995. In 1996, it was included on her third album, Manic Panic. The chorus is sung by Swedish singer Jessica Folcker. The single peaked at number 2 in Finland, number 8 in Sweden and number 37 in Belgium. On the Eurochart Hot 100, it reached number 86. Outside Europe, it was a Top 20 hit in Israel, peaking at number 18.
The song's chorus has the same melody as Shannon's 1984 dance hit " Give Me Tonight". Chris Barbosa and Ed Chisolm share songwriting credits for the song. In the 2020 book, Move Your Body (2 The 90s): Unlimited Eurodance, writer Juha Soininen noted, "It also breaks the pattern of male raps: Leila raps and Jessica Folcker has the refrain. In its ferocity and aggressiveness, it encapsulates the best sides of eurodance." [1]
Pan-European magazine Music & Media wrote that the Denniz Pop-produced song "shows that Leila K is still "The First Lady Of Rap"." [2]
The music video for "Electric" was directed by Ragnar Jansson. [3] In the video, Leila K and Jessica Folcker are dancing in a factory setting. Two kendōka practice kendo. It was nominated for a Swedish Dance Award in 1997. [4]
