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.
Wish You'd Stop Wishing
Dannii Minogue Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Mmm ooh, yeah yeah yeah
Wishing boy, ooh
When I saw you the other day
I smiled but you just turned away
I had to say myself remember
He likes to stay in his shell all alone
As I went along on my way
I knew you had so much to say
The words were locked deep inside
That's alright I'll give you every sign that I can
Now I know a girl who's got a crush on you
But she is just a little shy and a little proud
Now you know you've had the time
To think it through don't make me wait
Another day, let it out
I wish that you'd stop wishing
And finally ask so we can get started
On a love that will last
All the time we've wasted we'll never get back
So I wish that you'd stop wishing and finally ask
As I sit here and make believe
I know that you are watching me
Your eyes are burning a hole through my heart
If there's a place we can start let's begin
Now it seems to me you want me to give in
And make a move showing you that I care
But my love is still a prize that you must win
Don't waste a chance to take my heart while it's there
I wish that you'd stop wishing
And finally ask so we can get started
On a love that will last
All the time we've wasted we'll never get back
So I wish that you'd stop wishing and finally ask
Wanna get started now, can we get started now ooh
I wanna get started now, yeah yeah
Don't make me wait another day
Cause you know you've had the time to think about me
All the time we've wasted we'll never get back
So I wish that you'd stop wishing and finally ask
I wish that you'd stop wishing
And finally ask so we can get started
On a love that will last
All the time we've wasted we'll never get back
So I wish that you'd stop wishing and finally ask
In Dannii Minogue's song "Wish You'd Stop Wishing," the singer appears to be frustrated with a boy who has not yet expressed his feelings for her. From the lyrics "I smiled but you just turned away" and "The words were locked deep inside," it seems that the boy is shy or hesitant to share his emotions. The singer is trying to encourage him to take action and ask her out on a date or confess his feelings for her. She indicates that she is interested in him, but can't make the first move for him. She wants him to take the initiative.
The singer mentions that there is another girl who likes the boy, but is too shy to approach him. It is unclear whether the singer is jealous of this other girl or is simply using her as an example to encourage the boy to take action. The lyrics "my love is still a prize that you must win" suggest that the singer is confident in her own worth and wants the boy to put in effort to earn her affection.
Overall, "Wish You'd Stop Wishing" is a plea for the boy to stop waiting and start pursuing the singer. She wants to start a love that will last, but can't do it alone.

Hey boy, I wish you'd stop wishing, ooh ooh ooh
I want you to stop silently wishing for us to be together and actually take action
When I saw you the other day
I recently saw you in person
I smiled but you just turned away
I tried to show you that I'm interested, but you ignored me
I had to say myself remember
I reminded myself to not take it personally
He likes to stay in his shell all alone
I knew you tend to isolate yourself from others
As I went along on my way
I continued on my journey
I knew you had so much to say
I suspected that you had feelings for me
The words were locked deep inside
You were holding back your true feelings
That's alright I'll give you every sign that I can
I will try my best to show you that I'm interested
Now I know a girl who's got a crush on you
I am aware of another girl who likes you
But she is just a little shy and a little proud
She is hesitant to express her feelings openly
Now you know you've had the time
You've had enough time to think about us
To think it through don't make me wait
Don't take too long to make a decision, it's frustrating for me
Another day, let it out
Don't wait another day to express your feelings
As I sit here and make believe
I am daydreaming about you
I know that you are watching me
I sense that you are observing my every move
Your eyes are burning a hole through my heart
I feel like you can see right through me
If there's a place we can start let's begin
If there's a chance for us to be together, we should take it
Now it seems to me you want me to give in
I get the sense that you want to be with me too
And make a move showing you that I care
I should make a move to demonstrate my interest in you
But my love is still a prize that you must win
I won't make it easy for you, you have to work for my love
Don't waste a chance to take my heart while it's there
You shouldn't miss the opportunity to win my heart
Wanna get started now, can we get started now ooh
I am eager for us to start a relationship now
Don't make me wait another day
I don't want to wait any longer
Cause you know you've had the time to think about me
You've had plenty of time to consider whether you want to be with me
I wish that you'd stop wishing
I want you to stop wishing for us to be together and take action
And finally ask so we can get started
Ask me out so we can start a relationship
On a love that will last
I want our love to be strong and long-lasting
All the time we've wasted we'll never get back
We can't get back the time we've already wasted, so let's not waste any more
