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 ↴
Listen, can you hear that distant calling
Far away, but we'll be with you soon
Rocketing to outer space in orbit
Take us to the popstars on the moon
aaaahhhhhaaaaahhhhaaaaaahhhh
aaaahhhhhaaaaahhhhaaaaaahhhh
Traveling lightyears
Have yourself a taste of foreign glamour
Speeding on our way to something new
Missing for a night, but gone forever
The crew are here to take good care of you
aaaahhhhhaaaaahhhhaaaaaahhhh
Traveling lightyears
aaaahhhhhaaaaahhhhaaaaaahhhh
Traveling lightyears
aaaahhhhhaaaaahhhhaaaaaahhhh
Traveling lightyears
aaaahhhhhaaaaahhhhaaaaaahhhh
Did you believe I'd let you down
Your jealous heart gave you the runaround
You couldn't see that I would always be your friend
When all your other friends are gone
I'll still be here to help you carry on
If you have faith in me then I'll believe in you
Just turn it into love
Turn it into love
And open up your heart and you'll
Never feel ashamed if you
Turn it, turn it, turn it into love
Turn it into love
Turn it into love
And open up your heart and you'll
Never feel ashamed if you
Turn it, turn it, turn it into love
Please! Fasten your seatbelts!
My name... is Kylie.
I will be your Purser
The exits are located at the front and the rear... of the craft!
Get up to get down at Discoteca
Take a breath and take the plunge my dear
Maybe things that you don't know are better
I'll take you in my capsule out of here
aaaahhhhhaaaaahhhhaaaaaahhhh

The song "Light Years / Turn It Into Love" is a fusion of two separate tunes, representing two different moods. The first part of the song, "Light Years," is about a journey through outer space, where the singer and her crew are rocketing to outer space towards popstars on the moon. It portrays a sense of adventure and discovery, where the lyrics "Traveling lightyears" describe the distance covered by the journey. The song creates a futuristic yet vibrant atmosphere, where the notion of foreign glamour and the thrill of the unknown shine through.
The second section of the song "Turn It Into Love" slows down the pace and mood of the song, where Kylie Minogue speaks about an interpersonal relationship. The lyrics switch from a sense of fantasy and space to the complexities of human relationships. The singer assures her lover that she will always be there to help them carry on, despite their other friends being gone. She reminds them that if they have faith in her, she will always believe in them in return. The lyrics urge the listener to "turn it into love," indicating that with determination, one can transform any situation and relationship into a loving and positive one.
