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.
Love Traffic
Dannii Minogue Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Love traffic, love traffic (there is a jam)
Love traffic, love traffic (there is a jam)
Love traffic has come to a halt (oh)
I should be cruising but I'm losing and it's not my fault
(Ooh) Love traffic there's a jam (there is a jam)
Don't try to tell me I'm not your cup of tea
They say men prefer blondes but I know you prefer me
So why can't you let go, give me some of your lovin'
'Cause I got the hots for you, ooh you're driving me crazy
Is there a problem I can't see (problem I cannot see)
Why can't it be you and me, must be
Love traffic has come to a halt (oh)
I should be cruising but I'm losing and it's not my fault
(Ooh) Love traffic there's a jam (there is a jam)
I'm gettin' nothing of your lovin' love, I know I can (ooh)
Don't try to tell me that you're way too busy
'Cause I've got all the time in the world
Enough to make you dizzy
I like you just the way you are even if you spell trouble
So get yourself on into your car, here to me on the double
I know that we're made for romance (we're made for romance)
I'm beggin' you for just once chance (must be)
Love traffic has come to a halt (oh)
I should be cruising but I'm losing and it's not my fault
(Ooh) Love traffic there's a jam (there is a jam)
I'm gettin' nothing of your lovin' love, I know I can (ooh)
Ow (ow) whatever happened to my love life
(Whatever happened to it you got me going through it)
Can you tell me that I'm in strife
I'm looking for that perfect romance (ooh baby)
Things have got to change, I'm gonna rearrange
Got to go and correct the flow
My life is moving way too slow
Cru-cru-cru-cru-cruisin' love traffic, now pump
(Pumping love on) c'mon c'mon, now pump
Cruisin' cru-cru--cruisin' love traffi
Now pump (ooh baby), love traffic (love traffic)

Love traffic 1-2-3 bass
(Ooh) I should be cruisin' but I'm losing
And it's not my fault
(There is a jam love traffic) (there is a jam)
(I'm getting nothing of your loving like I know I can)
(There is a jam) whatever happened to my love life

Lady luck's not on my side, is this to be my destiny (oh)
Well it's gonna to have to change (I should be cruisin')
