This song may explain why Kayleigh became the most common spelling of this name in the UK, but I don't think one can assume that no one had thought of that spelling before the song was created. A few seconds of Googling discovered the following reference to a Kayleigh who was in the Class of 1981 at a school in Oxfordshire, England:

And here is a page for Kayleigh Milden, a researcher in oral history who was probably born before 1985 as she graduated from college in 2000:
