Audio sample

"Poison" is a pop song by Australian female group Bardot, and was the first single from their debut album Bardot (2000). It was co-written and produced by Australian producer Michael Szumowski.

The single attracted much hype due to its inclusion on the high-rating Popstars program and debuted at number 1 on the ARIA Singles Chart, where it spent two consecutive weeks, and was certified double platinum.[1] It became the sixth highest selling single in Australia of 2000 and was the highest selling single by an Australian act that year.[2] The single was nominated "Highest Selling Single" at the 2000 ARIA Music Awards, but lost to Madison Avenue's "Don't Call Me Baby". "Poison" was also a big success in New Zealand where the single spent 3 consecutive weeks at number 1 and was certified platinum.[3] In Singapore, it reached number 2.[4] It was released in the UK on 2 April 2001, debuting and peaking at number 45.[5]

Music video

The "Poison" music video was created during the filming of Popstars and therefore, the making of the video featured on the program. The video features the five members, each in their own distinct individual sets for the majority of the song – Tiffani is set in a hotel room, Sophie is set in a fairy garden, Sally is set in an authentic room made of bamboo, Katie is set in a futuristic, bright red room and Belinda is set in a disco room, surrounded by shining disco balls.

Seconds before the final chorus, Tiffani, Sophie, Katie and Belinda slide down poles into Sally's set and spend the final chorus singing together.

Director, Mark Hartley, received two nominations for "Best Video" at the 2000 ARIA Music Awards for "Poison" and Madison Avenue's "Who the Hell Are You", winning an award for the latter.[6]
