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.

Just Wanna Love You
Kylie Minogue Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
If we've got a good thing going
Better not believe in true love
That's what people say
There's nothing fatal in attraction
I'm just looking for some action
Better not go chasing rainbows
Every time i see your face
Emotion takes control of me
It turns me round and puts me in a spin
Oh can't you see
[Chorus]
I just want to love you
I want to be the one
Who's holding you tonight
I just want to love you
Every minute of the hour
Every morning, noon and night
There's gotta be a way to show you
I'd really like to get to know you
I could make you happy
If you'd take a chance on me
Don't want to talk about forever
Can't you see it's now or never
Don't think about tomorrow
Take a change on me
You know it makes me so excited
Every time i think of you
It turns me round and puts me in a spin
Oh can't you see
[Chorus]
I just want to love you
I, i just want to love you
(holding you tonight)
I just want to love you
I, i just want to love you
(every morning, noon and night)
Take a chance, take a chance, chance
Take a chance, take a chance
Take a chance on me
Take a chance, take a chance, chance
Take a chance, take a chance
Take a chance on me
[Chorus]
I just want to love you
I just want to love you
(holding you tonight)
I just want to love you
I just want to love you
(every morning, noon and night)
[Chorus]
The song "Just Wanna Love You" by Kylie Minogue seems to be about a person who is attracted to another and wants to pursue their feelings without worrying about the future or what others say. The song starts with the line "Baby, there's no way of knowing, If we've got a good thing going, Better not believe in true love, That's what people say." This line captures the elements of uncertainty and apprehension that come with falling for someone. People tell the person to not believe in true love because of the risk of getting hurt. The song highlights the fact that attraction alone is not fatal and that one does not need to go chasing rainbows or false hope.
The song is an expression of the main character's feelings and the desire to love and be loved. The person is happy when they are with the other and wants to explore the relationship further. The chorus emphasizes the message that the person only wants to love the other and wants to be the one holding the other at night, and wants to love them every minute of the hour, every morning, noon, and night. The lines "Don't want to talk about forever, Can't you see it's now or never, Don't think about tomorrow, Take a chance on me" are about living in the moment and enjoying the love without worrying about tomorrow.
Overall, the song is about the desire to love and be loved, and the willingness to take a chance even if it means risking heartache.
Line by Line Meaning
Baby, there's no way of knowing
We can't predict the outcome of our relationship
If we've got a good thing going
If our relationship is really worth continuing
Better not believe in true love
It's better to avoid the notion of true love altogether
That's what people say
That's the popular belief
There's nothing fatal in attraction
Just being attracted to someone won't lead to a tragic end
I'm just looking for some action
I'm interested in having some fun
Better not go chasing rainbows
It's best not to set unrealistic expectations
Every time I see your face
Being with you is incredibly emotional for me
Emotion takes control of me
I can't help but be swayed by my emotions
It turns me round and puts me in a spin
My feelings for you are overwhelming
Oh can't you see
