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.

Dannii Minogue Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Coz we'll be screaming when you're back for more
Alright
Teacher, teacher
I'm the student now
Being bad
So you can kick me out
You know you really turn me on and off and on and on
Coz you can be cruel
So true
It's gonna take all night
Hear the neighbours go:
Uh-uh-oh Uh-uh-uh-oh
Uh-uh-oh
Come on baby get it while it's (hot)
We need a love fight
Doctor, doctor
Said that we should stop
But he don't understand how we get off
Alright
I'm the car and you're behind the wheel
Burn some rubber
Baby cop a feel
Come on
You know you really turn me on and off and on
Hear the neighbours go:
Uh-uh-oh Uh-uh-uh-oh
Uh-uh-oh
Come on baby get it while it's (hot)
We need a love fight
Hear the neighbours go:

Oh, on the floor

Heavy petting always make me feel
Like I'm Lois with the man of steel

The lyrics of Dannii Minogue's song Love Fight describe the intensity and passion of a tumultuous romantic relationship. The singer admits that they are turned on when their lover slams the door, anticipating the fiery outcome when they return. The chorus urges their partner to engage in a "love fight," suggesting that, despite their differences, their relationship works best when they are challenging each other. The song also plays with power dynamics, with the singer explicitly taking on the role of the "bad" student who needs disciplining, or as a car that needs their partner to take control.
Despite the dominant themes of passion and conflict, the song is also playful and tongue-in-cheek. The onomatopoeic "Uh-uh-oh" chorus can be interpreted as the sound of the neighbors eavesdropping or an exasperated response to the intensity of the couple's drama. The references to comic book heroes and car racing also add to the playful tone of the song.
Overall, Love Fight seems to be a celebration of the emotional highs and lows of passionate relationships, with all their messiness and excitement. The song's energetic beat and catchy chorus add to its appeal, making it a fun and memorable pop track.
