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.
Someone New
Dannii Minogue Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Hey
I'll find someone new
You never really loved me
It's too late to disagree
There's so much more to life out there
Then you've ever given me
I don't wanna hear excuses
Don't pretend you don't know why
Everything we had is over now
And it's time to say goodbye
Each night I was alone with you
I could see myself with someone new
Each night I was alone with you
I imagined what it would be like with someone new
'Cause you never trusted me
You never wanted me
You never cared for me
But I don't mind
I've got my dignity
I'm not his property
I've got the strength to leave it all behind
I'll find someone new
I'll find someone new
Now you beg me for forgiveness
How the tables have been turned
But I'm not the girl I was back then
My lessons have been learned
You don't care about my feelings
There is nothing left to say
Everything we had is over now
And it's time to walk away
Each night I was alone with you
I could see myself with someone new
Each night I was alone with you
I imagined what it would be like with someone new
'Cause you never trusted me
You never wanted me
You never cared for me
But I don't mind
I've got my dignity
I'm not his property
I've got the strength to leave it all behind
You never trusted me
You never wanted me
You never cared for me
But I don't mind
I've got my dignity
I'm not his property
I've got the strength to leave it all behind
Leave it all behind
Leave it all behind
Leave it all behind
Leave it all behind

I bought a single and this was the bonus track on it, and it's got to be one of my most fave Dannii songs. It's underrated for sure!
@seancalvinparkinson7822
+Sethlans Vayu hard to find this song too. Was on the CD single for Coconut wasnt it.
@johnevans8124
How an earth was this bside to coconut this should have been the follow up to All I Wanna Do
@ColinsCity
I can't understand how they only included this as Japanese bonus track and Australian B-Side for Coconut it's such a powerful song, it would have been amazing as a single.
@seancalvinparkinson7822
Definitely agree with you there.
