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.

In Your Eyes
Kylie Minogue Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
In this crowded place there is only you
Was gonna to leave now I have to stay
You have taken my breath away
Ooh-ooh
Is the world still spinning around (spinning around)
Ooh-ooh
It's in your eyes
I can tell what you're thinking
My heart is sinking too
It's no surprise
I've been watching you lately
I want to make it with you
Destiny has a funny way
When it comes and takes all your cares away
I can't think of a single thing
Other than what a beautiful state I'm in (state I'm in)
Ooh-ooh
Is the world still spinning around (spinning around)
Ooh-ooh
I don't feel like coming down
It's in your eyes
I can tell what you're thinking
My heart is sinking too
It's no surprise
I've been watching you lately
I want to make it with you (with you, with you, with you, with you)
With you, with you, with you, with you
With you, with you, with you, with you, with you (want to make it with you)
With you, with you, with you, with you, with you
Ooh-ooh
Is the world still spinning around (spinning around)
Ooh-ooh
I don't feel like coming down
It's in your eyes
I can tell what you're thinking
My heart is sinking too
It's no surprise
I've been watching you lately
I want to make it with you (want to make it with you)
It's in your eyes
I can tell what you're thinking
My heart is sinking too (my heart is sinking too)
It's no surprise
I've been watching you lately
I want to make it with you (want to make it with you)
It's in your eyes
I can tell what you're thinking
My heart is sinking too
It's no surprise (no surprise, no surprise)
I've been watching you lately
I want to make it with you
It's in your eyes
"In Your Eyes" by Kylie Minogue is a love song about being so captivated by someone that the rest of the world fades away. The lyrics describe the feeling of being in a crowded place, but only having eyes for one person. The singer had intended to leave, but the sight of this person has taken their breath away and kept them there. The chorus conveys the sense of being transported to another dimension, where the world is spinning around but the singer feels weightless and doesn't want to come down.
The song's bridge talks about destiny, suggesting that the singer feels like this encounter was fated to happen. They can't think of anything else except how beautiful the moment they're in is. This ties together with the chorus, where the singer is held in thrall by the other person's eyes, and is almost hypnotized by them. The repeated mantra of "I want to make it with you" in the final verse reinforces the idea of the singer being consumed by desire and wanting to connect with this person on a deeper level.
Overall, "In Your Eyes" is a song about being so enraptured by someone that nothing else matters. The lyrics conveys a sense of euphoria and rapture, as well as a deep emotional connection. The song has a buoyant and upbeat melody, which adds to the feeling of the singer being swept away.

The song of my teenage years and my life. This is the definition of an artist. Still not surpassed and probably never will be.
