Born and raised in Melbourne, Minogue first achieved recognition starring in the Australian soap opera Neighbours, playing tomboy mechanic Charlene Robinson. She gained prominence as a recording artist in the late 1980s and released four bubblegum and dance-pop-influenced studio albums produced by Stock Aitken Waterman. By the early 1990s, she had amassed several top ten singles in the UK and Australia, including "I Should Be So Lucky", "The Loco-Motion", "Hand on Your Heart", and "Better the Devil You Know". Taking more creative control over her music, Minogue signed with Deconstruction Records in 1993 and released Kylie Minogue (1994) and Impossible Princess (1997), both of which received positive reviews. She returned to mainstream dance-oriented music with 2000's Light Years, including the number-one hits "Spinning Around" and "On a Night Like This". The follow-up, Fever (2001), was an international breakthrough for Minogue, becoming her best-selling album to date. Two of its singles, "Love at First Sight" and "In Your Eyes", became hits, but its lead single, "Can't Get You Out of My Head" became one of the most successful singles of the 2000s, selling over five million units.
Minogue continued reinventing her image and experimenting with a range of genres on her subsequent albums, which spawned successful singles such as "Slow", "2 Hearts", "All the Lovers", "Santa Baby", "Timebomb" and "Dancing". With her 2020 album DISCO, she became the first female artist to have a chart-topping album in the UK for five consecutive decades. Minogue made her film debut in The Delinquents (1989) and portrayed Cammy in Street Fighter (1994). She has also appeared in the films Moulin Rouge! (2001), Jack & Diane, Holy Motors (2012) and San Andreas (2015). In 2014, she appeared as a judge on the third series of The Voice UK and The Voice Australia. Her other ventures include product endorsements, children's books, fashion, and charitable work.
Minogue was appointed an Officer of the Order of the British Empire in the 2008 New Year Honours for services to music. She was appointed by the French government as a Chevalier (knight) of the Ordre des Arts et des Lettres for her contribution to the enrichment of French culture. In 2005, while Minogue was on tour, she was diagnosed with breast cancer. She was awarded an honorary Doctor of Health Science (D.H.Sc.) degree by Anglia Ruskin University in 2011 for her work in raising awareness for breast cancer. At the 2011 ARIA Music Awards, she was inducted by the Australian Recording Industry Association into the ARIA Hall of Fame. She was appointed Officer of the Order of Australia (AO) in the 2019 Australia Day Honours.

Good Like That
Kylie Minogue Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Not make a sound while others bring me down
I'm not someone who'll tell you what you want to hear
Oh you've got to feel by keeping it real
And until now I've been patient
I've been good somehow
But anticipation's leaving me no doubt
When you let go of your fear and release
[Chorus:]
Let's move it to the fast lane
Take a chance and love me
I'll give you all I have
I'm good like that
Baby, when you crash into me
You'll finally understand
How loving me can change all your plans
I'm good like that
I'm good like that
Don't make me have to tell you that I told you so
'Cause I know you know and it's hard to hold
I cannot do this feeling, you'll find there's double meaning
To the things I say when you walk this way
Just relax, let me take control of you, sit back
Make you see where all this goes
I'm in too bad - what you got to lose
Compared to what I'm offering you?
[Chorus:]
I'm good like that
I'm good like that
So take a chance and love me fast
I'll give you all-all that I have
I'm good, I'm good, I'm good like that
I'm good, I'm good, I'm good like that
I'm good, I'm good, I'm good like that
[Chorus:]
I'm good like that
In Kylie Minogue's song Good Like That, she expresses a sentiment of independence and confidence in oneself. She begins the song by describing herself as someone who doesn't wait around to be brought down by others, nor does she tell people what they want to hear just to please them. She emphasizes the importance of being real and feeling true to oneself. The chorus encourages the listener to take a chance with her and move to the fast lane while she gives them all she has to offer. She promises that loving her will change all their plans.
The second verse continues with the theme of taking control and relaxing, giving the power to her to show the listener where things can go. There is a sense of urgency and impatience in the lyrics, as she urges the listener to not make her say "I told you so" because they know deep down what they want. The bridge doubles down on the sentiment, with Kylie proclaiming that she is in too deep and asks the listener to compare what they have to lose to what she is offering.
Overall, the lyrics of Good Like That are about the importance of being true to oneself and taking chances in life. Kylie presents herself as someone who is strong and confident, but also willing to give her all to someone else in a relationship. The song is ultimately an upbeat and empowering message of self-acceptance, self-love, and taking a chance with love.

I've never been the type who's gonna wait around
I'm not the kind of person who waits idly for things to happen
Not make a sound while others bring me down
I won't remain silent while others try to bring me down or discourage me
I'm not someone who'll tell you what you want to hear
I won't say things just to please you or tell you what you want to hear, I will be honest with you
Oh you've got to feel by keeping it real
True feelings are expressed by being honest and real with oneself and others
And until now I've been patient
I have been patiently waiting up to this point
I've been good somehow
I have managed to stay good, despite the challenging circumstances
But anticipation's leaving me no doubt
I am certain that my anticipation will not betray me
About how it will be
I have a clear idea of how things will be
When you let go of your fear and release
When you overcome your fear, and let yourself go, everything will fall into place
Let's move it to the fast lane
Let's speed things up and move quickly towards our goal
Take a chance and love me
Take a risk and love me for who I am
I'll give you all I have
I will give you my all, my full commitment and effort
I'm good like that

Baby, when you crash into me
When we collide, when we come together

You will come to a realization, a moment of understanding
How loving me can change all your plans
How loving me can alter your priorities and change your plans for the future
Don't make me have to tell you that I told you so
Don't make me say 'I told you so' when things turn out as I predicted
'Cause I know you know and it's hard to hold
I know deep down, you already know the truth and it's hard to ignore it
I cannot do this feeling, you'll find there's double meaning
I can't deny this feeling, and you'll find there's more than one way to interpret it
Just relax, let me take control of you, sit back
Just relax, let me lead and guide you, trust me and let yourself go
Make you see where all this goes
I will show you where our love can take us
I'm in too bad - what you got to lose
I am fully committed, and what do you have to lose by taking a chance on us?
Compared to what I'm offering you?
Compared to what I can offer you, the risks seem minimal
So take a chance and love me fast
Don't hesitate, take a quick chance and love me
I'll give you all-all that I have
I will give you everything I have to offer
I'm good, I'm good, I'm good like that
I am good at loving you, giving you my all, and being honest and real
