"In Demand" is a song by Scottish band Texas, written by Dallas Austin with band members Johnny McElhone and Sharleen Spiteri. The song was released in Europe on 25 September 2000 and in the United Kingdom on 2 October 2000 as the first single from their compilation album The Greatest Hits, reaching number six on the UK Singles Chart and number 10 in Spain.

Music video

The single was accompanied by a music video, which stars English actor Alan Rickman alongside Sharleen Spiteri.[1] In it, Spiteri is seen wrapped up in a parka jacket being driven through the night in the back of a chauffeured Bentley Azure. A suited Rickman strokes and comforts her while helicopters and motorbikes photograph them. When the car pulls in for petrol, Rickman pulls off Spiteri's parka jacket to reveal an evening dress underneath and they dance a tango together on the station forecourt. The petrol forecourt scene was filmed at the Shell petrol station in Bordon, Hampshire.

In the early morning, the car drives them into the seaside town Brighton and parks up outside a run-down apartment block called Embassy Court on the Kings Road where Rickman hauls a shabby backpack out of the boot and enters the building, Spiteri is driven away by her chauffeur.
