I believe the answer is:

enchanted

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'dazzled' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are past participle verbs, I don't understand how one could define the other.

'need to run outside song' is the wordplay.
'to run' is an anagram indicator.
'outside' indicates putting letters inside (some letters go outside others).
'song' becomes 'chant' (song sung by a crowd).
'need' is an anagram of 'ened'.
'ened' going around 'chant' is 'ENCHANTED'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for enchanted that I've seen before include "Put under spell" , "Delighted, charmed" , "Beguiled" , "Bewitched" , "delighted by spelling" .)
