"Dizzy" is a song by English singer-songwriter Olly Alexander. It was released on 1 March 2024 through Polydor Records, and was written by Alexander and Daniel Harle. The song marked Alexander's first release under his own name after the dissolution of Years & Years. It represented the United Kingdom at the Eurovision Song Contest 2024, where it placed 18th with 46 points at the grand final.
"Dizzy" is a love song where Alexander wants his lover to give him kisses over and over to make him feel "dizzy". The song was met with mixed reception by both British and international media upon its release, with some praise given for Alexander's vocal abilities and its retro musical composition. However, criticism was also levied against the song for being viewed as too conventional for a chance of victory at the Eurovision Song Contest.
