In 1990, her debut single, Love and Kisses made the top ten in Australia, and in the UK in 1991. She has since achieved a record thirteen consecutive #1 UK Club hits.

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 Don't Wanna Take This Pain
Dannii Minogue Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I gave you my everything
I gave you all my time
I never knew, that love would bring
Pain into my life
You broke my heart again
When you told me lies
I can't stand to look at you
Boy you've got to tell me

Why
Why you had to take so much from me
'Cause you were taking me for granted
It's my life
And you were just attracted physically
I'm gonna get you back

I've got to get into your mind
Until I get you back
I won't be satisfied
I've got to get into your head
But don't want your love
I want your soul instead

Feel's like I've woken up
And now I see the light
You thought I'd be broken up
Tossin' turnin' every night
All that I want from you
Is what you took from me
Now I want everything
Boy you got to tell me

Why
Why you had to take so much for free
When I was tellin' everybody
You were mine
I guess this is the way it has to be
I'm gonna get you back

I've got to get into your mind
Until I get you back
I won't be satisfied
I've got to get into your head
But don't want your love
I want your soul instead

I've got to get into your mind
Until I get you back
I won't be satisfied
I've got to get into your head
But don't want your love
I want your soul instead

Dig it out now, Ooh

Boy you got to tell me
Why
Why you had to take so much from me
'Cause you were taking me for granted
It's my life
And you were just attracted physically
I'm gonna get you back

I've got to get into your mind
Until I get you back
I won't be satisfied
I've got to get into your head
But don't want your love
I want your soul instead

I've got to get into your mind
Until I get you back
I won't be satisfied
I've got to get into your head

But don't want your love
I want your soul instead

Overall Meaning

"Get into You" is a Dannii Minogue's song, and the lyrics are about a woman who gave everything she had, her time and love, to a man. However, instead of being grateful and reciprocating, the man lies to her, causing her pain and heartbreak.

The woman is determined to get her revenge, not by hurting him physically, but by getting into his mind and soul. She wants to understand why he took so much from her for free and why he saw her as an object of his physical attraction.

The lyrics are about a woman who has come to understand the value of her love and time and wants to be appreciated for who she is. She won't settle for a shallow relationship that is only based on physical attraction. She wants to know the man's intentions and motives, and she wants to be respected for her body, mind, and soul.

Overall, the song is about empowerment and standing up for oneself in a relationship. It conveys a message that it’s important to recognize one’s value, and not to settle for anything less than one deserves in a relationship.
