BMG Rights Management and Minogue's company Darenote released it as the second single from her fifteenth studio album Disco (2020) on 24 September 2020, and further distributed on various digital and physical formats on later dates. Minogue, Michelle Buzz, and Teemu Brunila co-wrote the song with producers Daniel Davidsen and Peter Wallevik, collectively known as PhD. Musically, it is a disco-pop song with a variety of instruments, and the lyrics discuss the feeling of falling in love.
Music critics praised "Magic" for its catchiness, production quality, and sound, with some naming it a standout track from the parent album. It was also featured on year-end lists provided by Billboard and CBC Music. Commercially, the song was successful, appearing on record charts in Belgium, Croatia, Hungary, Scotland, Slovakia, and the United Kingdom, as well as component charts in Australia, Finland, New Zealand, and the United States. Furthermore, it is one of Minogue's most streamed singles in the United Kingdom.
British filmmaker Sophie Muller shot the music video for the single at Fabric in Farringdon, London, and it features Minogue and backup dancers in a nightclub with various Visual effects.

It was also included in the setlist and live release of her one-time special livestream show, Infinite Disco.
