After the clip was released, eagle-eyed fans set about guessing the meaning of all the clues in the video, concluding that it could be the name of the track.
One person on Twitter collected all the “Easter eggs” and shared their thoughts online, as many called him a “genius” for making it happen.
They wrote: “Olly Alexander's video shows the numbers 4, 26, 26 and 25. The corresponding letters are DZZ Y. The large hand of the clock is a 1. Die.” [dizzy] Emoji is on the phone booth. The British entry is called Dizzy.'
Many praised the person's efforts, but one person pointed to their own theory, which they said made more sense.
They wrote: “Also there are 9.” [dizzy] Emojis. 9 + I, which makes more sense than the big hand theory. I think you're onto something!'
Another said: “It's 5 after 4. Could that be the release date?” 5 days after (4) April – 5 April? It’s a Friday and that’s usually the day new music is released.”
One person complimented the detective work, saying: “First Girls Aloud, now… you're a pop culture Poirot.”
The user – whose online name is Shane Reaction – replied: “A plague on pop girlies and gays everywhere.”
Another person joked: “Have you ever thought about a job with Her Majesty's MI5?”
Another said: “If this is true I will be extremely impressed wow. MI6 should hire you!”
Another person said: “Dua did something very similar for Houdini, so it could be true.” Your management team is also involved in the Eurovision Song Contest, right?

The UK could finally look forward to another Eurovision win after Olly was announced as the country's strongest contestant.
The chances of the United Kingdom winning suddenly diminished and they became favorites for the first time in 27 years.
The UK hasn't won the Eurovision Song Contest since Katrina & The Waves performed “Love Shine a Light” in 1997.
Previously, Britain stormed to victory with Bucks Fizz's “Makin' Your Mind Up” in 1981 and Brotherhood of Man's “Save Your Kisses for Me” in 1976.
In 1969, Lulu, performing Boom Bang-a-Bang, took first place in a four-way match against France, the Netherlands and Spain.
Britain's first win at the Eurovision Song Contest came 11 years after the annual contest launched with Sandie Shaw's Puppet on a String in 1967.
However, there is now potential for a sixth British victory if the odds are anything to go by.
A spokesperson for KingCasinoBonus.uk told Metro: “The UK has become favorite to win the Eurovision Song Contest 2024 following the announcement of Olly Alexander.” [as their representative].'
“Punters immediately moved to back Britain to win the song contest after the news broke, with the UK's odds of winning falling to 6/1.” “Sweden, Israel and Ukraine are jointly at 7/1 the second favorites, followed by Italy at 8/1 and Norway at 10/1.”
“The popular Olly Alexander might think it's a sin if he doesn't do better than Mae Muller's disappointing 25th place finish last year – Britain will be quietly confident that its years without a Song Contest win are over.”
Eurovision fans were quick to react on

Olly is hoping to change Britain's fortunes after 2023 entrant Mae Muller failed to impress audiences at the competition in Liverpool this year, where she came second to last.
Mae was selected to perform at the Eurovision Song Contest by global management company TaP Music, which also chose 2022 entrant Sam Ryder, who placed second.
Before the final, doubts about the singer grew as her voice was criticized for not being strong enough to carry the song “I Wrote A Song” she sang. Their rehearsal was full of errors and had problems with the sound.
A series of old quotes in which she suggested she hated Britain angered some.
The Eurovision Song Contest 2023 took place in the United Kingdom after last year's winner Ukraine was unable to hold it in its home country due to the war with Russia.
The 2024 ceremony will take place in Malmö, Sweden, and follows the country's win this year with the song Tattoo by Loreen.
