It features in the film’s finale when main character Oliver – played by Barry Keoghan – dances naked through the halls of the Saltburn mansion.
The film’s popularity has catapulted Murder On The Dancefloor to the top of charts across the world.
A music industry source told the Mail On Sunday: ‘Sophie has become a global star again. Universal, her old record label, have snapped her up and she will be releasing new music later in the year.’
‘She is likely to be a bigger star than she was back in the day. It has come out of nowhere for Sophie and she is thrilled and really excited.’
