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.

Kylie Minogue Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Experience the moves you can't ignore
But something 'bout this beat just got me hooked
Come over here and take a closer look
'Cause I can't get enough, I can't get enough
I can't stay on the ground (whoa)
I can't get enough, I can't get enough
It's taking me higher, higher
Higher off the ground
It's taking me higher, higher
Higher off the ground
I do this just for kicks,
Just for the thrill,
I got this high, without taking a pill
This groove has got me way over the sun
I'm dancing like I am the only one
'Cause I can't get enough, I can't get enough
I can't stay on the ground (whoa)
I can't get enough, I can't get enough
This is taking me now
It's taking me higher, higher
Higher off the ground
It's taking me higher, higher
Higher off the ground
The music's got me going higher
I feel like I can touch the sky
It's taking me higher, higher
Higher off the ground
It's taking me higher, higher
Higher off the ground
It's taking me higher, higher
Higher off the ground
It's taking me higher, higher
Higher off the ground
The lyrics to Kylie Minogue and Taio Cruz's hit song "Higher" are an ode to the power of music and dance to transport people to another world, to lift them up, and to make them feel alive. The first verse speaks to the singer's ability to let loose and feel the music in their body, surrendering to the beat as they dance. There's something irresistible about this particular beat that has them hooked, and they want the person they're addressing to come see what all the fuss is about. The chorus repeats these sentiments, emphasizing how the music is lifting them up off the ground and taking them higher and higher. The second verse takes it even further, emphasizing the incredible high the singer is experiencing without needing any drugs or alcohol - this is purely the power of the music.
Overall, the lyrics to "Higher" are relatively straightforward, emphasizing the transformative power of music and dance. The beat is so infectious that it's impossible to resist moving to it, and the feeling of being lifted off the ground is an incredible rush. The song is all about giving in to the pleasures of dancing and enjoying the ride.
