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.
I'm sorry
Dannii Minogue Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I always thought that we had an understanding
So don't, don't hold on to me
I should have said "now leave"
This is all my fault
And I'm sorry, I'm sorry
You couldn't keep love down
'cause I can't kick you out
And I'm sorry
That I messed up this way
Never meant to sound cliche but its me not you
Say you need me
I know I can't be the whenever you want me to
I know its all my fault
And I'm sorry, I'm sorry
You couldn't keep love down
Forgive me, forgive me
'cause I can't kick you out
And I'm sorry
How could I cause you pain
I hope its not too late
'cause you've been hurt that way
I know its all my fault and I want to say
I'm sorry
Ooh, ooh, ooh
And I'm sorry, I'm sorry
You couldn't keep love down
Forgive me, forgive me
'cause I can't kick you out
And I'm sorry
I'm sorry
Couldn't keep love down
Forgive me, forgive me
'cause I can't kick you out
Forgive me, forgive me
How could I cause you pain
You couldn't keep love down
'cause you've been hurt that way
'cause I can't kick you out
Sorry

Line by Line Meaning
This wasn't meant to be
I didn't intend for us to be in this situation
I always thought that we had an understanding
I believed we were on the same page
So don't, don't hold on to me
Please let me go
I should have said "now leave"
I wish I had asked you to leave earlier
This is all my fault
I take full responsibility for what happened
And I'm sorry, I'm sorry
I apologize
You couldn't keep love down
You were really trying to make it work
Forgive me, forgive me
Please find it in your heart to forgive me
'cause I can't kick you out
I don't have the strength to end things completely
That I messed up this way
I made a mistake and things got out of hand
Never meant to sound cliche but its me not you
I don't want to sound common, but I caused this, not you
Say you need me
I know you want me to stay, but I can't
I know I can't be the whenever you want me to
I know I can't always be there for you as you want me to be
How could I cause you pain
I'm so sorry I hurt you
I hope its not too late
I hope we can still work things out
'cause you've been hurt that way
I know you've been hurt before
I'm sorry
I apologize
Couldn't keep love down
We really tried to keep things going
Sorry
I apologize
