"Today the Sun's on Us" is a song by English musician Sophie Ellis-Bextor, released as the third single from her third studio album Trip the Light Fantastic (2007). It was written by Ellis-Bextor, Steve Robson, and Nina Woodford and produced by Jeremy Wheatley and Brio Taliaferro. A pop ballad featuring electric and bass guitar, its lyrics describe "appreciating the good times while they're here."[1] It was released on 6 August 2007 as a CD single.

Critical response to "Today the Sun's on Us" was mixed: some appreciated the overall tone of the song, and others criticized Ellis-Bextor's vocals. The song was a commercial failure, peaking at number 64 on the UK Singles Chart. An accompanying music video was filmed in Iceland, and depicts Ellis-Bextor as a thief in an emotionally abusive relationship.
