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.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We shared the passion till the end
I found a friend I will remember
I'll never feel the same again
(now that's its over)
Living the dream
I'm Breathing in deep
It's good to know, yeah it's good to know that
[Chorus]
You won't forget about me
As long as you live, as long as you live
You won't forget about me
I promise you this
As long you live
You won't forget about me
As long as you live, as long as you live
You won't forget about me
I promise you this
As long you live
I hear the music over and over
The memories play on and on
I'm living this dream
I'm breathing in deep
Then I hear you say
As you drift away
That it's good to know, it's good to know that
[Chorus]
You won't forget about me
As long as you live, as long as you live
You won't forget about me
I promise you this
As long you live
You won't forget about me
As long as you live, as long as you live
You won't forget about me
I promise you this
As long you live
I'm living the dream
When I'm breathing in deep
Want it all on repeat
Play it on and on
'cause' it's good to know that
[Chorus]
You won't forget about me
As long as you live, as long as you live
You won't forget about me
I promise you this
As long you live
You won't forget about me
As long as you live, as long as you live
You won't forget about me
I promise you this
As long you live
The song "You Won't Forget About Me" by Dannii Minogue is about a summer fling that has ended, but the memories of it linger on. The lyrics suggest that the relationship was passionate and unforgettable, and that even though it is over, the memories will continue to play on in the person's mind, and the other person will never forget about them.
The opening lines of the song, "Our first and last summer together, we shared the passion till the end" indicate that their romance was intense but short-lived, and that they knew from the beginning that their time together would be limited. However, the strong emotions they shared made a deep impression on both of them, and they will never be the same again.
The chorus repeats the promise that the other person will never forget about the singer, as long as they live. This suggests that their time together was so significant that it left an indelible mark on the person's memory, and that they will always associate the singer with that time in their life.
Overall, the song is a bittersweet reflection on a past relationship, and the power that love can have to change us forever.
