"Groovejet (If This Ain't Love)" is a single by Spiller (featuring vocals by Sophie Ellis-Bextor) and released in 2000 by Positiva Records. It went to number one on the United Kingdom, New Zealand, Ireland Dance & Australian charts and number three on the American Hot Dance/Club Play charts. Song information, The track was produced by Italian DJ and producer Cristiano Spiller in 1999 as an instrumental, and was included in the Mighty Miami EP. It is mainly built upon samples from "Love Is You", a disco song originally performed by Carol Williams. In order to make the track more palatable for airplay, as the instrumental is somewhat repetitive, Positiva asked British singer Sophie Ellis-Bextor, formerly with indie rock band theaudience, to provide lyrics and vocals for the song. Before recording, the lyric was partly reworked by Rob Davis, who replaced Ellis-Bextor's proposed hook "And so it goes..." with the line "If this ain't love...", thereby providing the song with its subtitle. Boris Dlugosch produced the vocal portions added to the track. Sharon Scott is the back-up vocalist. Sarah Cracknell was first choice for the vocals. The track has been remixed by Boris Dlugosch and Michi Lange (BMR), Todd Terry, Solar, Ramon "Ray Roc" Checo and Ernest St. Laurent. According to technology journalist Steven Levy, and the BBC's TOTP2 Goes Disco! this was the first song ever to issue from an iPod, specifically from a prototype unit in August 2001. In the United Kingdom, this single was first released in the same week as "Out of Your Mind", Victoria Beckham's first song since the break up of her group, the Spice Girls. "Out of Your Mind" held the midweek number one in the United Kingdom singles chart until Saturday, when "Groovejet (If This Ain't Love)" overtook it in sales; it was hyped by the media as a personal battle between the two artists. The song was the 8th best selling of 2000 in the United Kingdom. A live version of the track appeared on the 2002 'Special Edition' reissue of Sophie Ellis-Bextor's album Read My Lips and in 2003, "Groovejet (If This Ain't Love)" was re-released as part of Positiva Records 'Remixed' series, on both 12" vinyl and CD - the CD playing time running to 63:09.
