Dannii first broke out of her sister's shadow in 1997 with the album Girl. Whilst Kylie Minogue was experimenting with dark lyrics, indie collaborations and moody images (Impossible Princess), Dannii went out and out for the dancefloor with the huge hit All I Wanna Do. Unfortunately, the album that it was from only reached No. 57. However, Dannii herself has said, "This was a big turning point for me. It has led me on to the album Neon Nights and my collaborations with many club DJs and remixers".
2001 was a success for Dannii, when her vocals were part of Riva's Who Do You Love Now?, which laid the foundations for her fourth album Neon Nights released in March 2003.
Moving to London Records, Dannii made more credible dance tracks including I Begin To Wonder and Put The Needle On It. In 2003, Dannii released her fourth album, Neon Nights. It was a surprise chart success, reaching no.8 in the UK charts and eventually achieving gold status, selling over 100,000 copies. The album also made gold certification in Australia. Dannii also teamed up with chill-out Ibiza stars Afterlife for a collaboration on their Speck of Gold album. Dannii's star was beginning to shine in its own right.
In 2004, after a top 10 album and four top 10 singles, Dannii moved to All Around The World Records. Her first single for AATW was You Won't Forget About Me, which saw Dannii's vocals layered on top of the instrumental hit Flower Power and landed at no.7 in the UK charts, making it Dannii's fifth consecutive top 10 hit. You Won't Forget About Me was followed up in 2005 by Perfection, on which Dannii teamed up with the Soul Seekerz, which narrowly missed out on the top 10 in the UK, peaking at no.11. In 2006, she returned with So Under Pressure and her Greatest Hits album The Hits & Beyond.
Dannii has been a judge on British television channel ITV's The X Factor since 2007 alongside Simon Cowell, Cheryl Cole and Louis Walsh.
In November 2007, Girl and Neon Nights were re-released with bonus discs, with a new studio album Club Disco and compilation album Unleashed appearing within the following weeks. A stand alone single Touch Me Like That was released in December 2007. It was later included on the re-release of Club Disco released in Australia in the spring 2008.
Later in 2008, the logical and long-overdue duet with her own sister finally was released as Kylie & Dannii recorded a cover of ABBA's The Winner Takes It All appeared on the soundtrack album to the shortlived BBC show Beautiful People.
Hide and Seek
Dannii Minogue Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Seek and you'll find, when I close my eyes
We're counting the moments so come with me now
Let's go outside
Falling down like rain, falling down like rain
Hide and seek, hide and seek, hide and seek, hide and seek
Hide and seek, hide and seek, hide and seek, hide
A twist in my mind whenever you call my name, come for me now
I don't wanna hide, the taste of your love
Is sweeter than ever, now come and taste mine
Seek and you'll find
Falling down like rain, falling down like rain
Hide and seek, hide and seek, hide and seek, hide and seek
Hide and seek, hide and seek, hide and seek, hide
Feeling the ride, a twist in my mind, the taste of your love
Come and taste mine, seek and you'll find
Falling down like rain, falling down like rain
Falling down like rain
Hide and seek, hide and seek, hide and seek, hide and seek
Hide and seek, hide and seek, hide and seek, hide
Hide and seek, hide and seek, hide and seek, hide and seek
Hide and seek, hide and seek, hide and seek, hide
Hide and seek, hide and seek, hide and seek, hide and seek
Hide and seek, hide and seek, hide and seek, hide
The lyrics of Dannii Minogue's "Hide and Seek" are about the excitement of falling in love and the desire to fully embrace it without any hesitation or fear. The opening lines express an eagerness to experience the highs and lows of the relationship, with the singer imploring their lover not to shy away from the intensity of their feelings. This is reinforced through the repetition of the phrase "hide and seek," which suggests a playful tone, while also implying that the two are pursuing each other.
The second verse is a declaration of the singer's devotion to their lover, even going so far as to compare the taste of their love to something sweet. They invite their lover to surrender to their own desires, emphasizing that love is a journey of discovery, with "seek and you'll find" serving as both an invitation and a challenge.
The chorus repeats the phrase "hide and seek" as a kind of mantra, with the drumbeat mimicking the pounding of raindrops. The song seems to be an embodiment of the thrill of falling in love, capturing the excitement, the anticipation, and the raw sensuality of the experience.

The Deluxe version went up on Google Play not too long ago. This is actually on it as the regular version now. I was kind of disappointed when I heard it.
