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 ↴
Yeah, ohh, uh-uh-uh-ah
Yeah yeah yeah
Now we're looking on and finding
Things are looking up
My life is moving on
Onto better than the love
'Cause I'm feelin' fine
And love is, love is hard to find
It's suddenly a game
And you won this heart of mine
[Bridge]
I never believe it
After all that I've been through
So good to receive it
All alone that I found you
[Chorus]
Love is waiting (love is waiting)
And this time I'm taking it all (this time)
So amazing (so amazing)
I don't need a reason to fall (uh no no)
You know everyday you see it
Love is burning out
And I just have to say
That's the way it's turning now
Well it's plain to see
Baby, what you do to me
What used to be a dream
Is now everything that's on me, yeah
[Bridge
[Chorus: x 2]
(Moving on) moving on baby
(Moving on) moving on
(Looking on) looking on baby
(Looking on) looking on
[Bridge]
[Chorus: x 4]

Now we're looking on and finding
I have moved on from the past and realized things are looking up
Things are looking up
My life is improving
My life is moving on
I am leaving behind what was holding me back
Onto better than the love
I am moving onto something greater than what I had before
'Cause I'm feelin' fine
I am happy and content
And love is, love is hard to find
It is difficult to find true love
It's suddenly a game
Love has become a game
And you won this heart of mine
You have captured my heart
I never believe it
I did not think it was possible
After all that I've been through
Considering my past experiences
So good to receive it
It feels good to be loved
All alone that I found you
I found you on my own
Love is waiting (love is waiting)
There is someone out there for me waiting to love me
And this time I'm taking it all (this time)

And I just have to say
I cannot help but express
That's the way it's turning now
That is the way things are happening at the moment
Well it's plain to see
It is obvious to everyone
Baby, what you do to me
You have a significant impact on me
What used to be a dream
What I wanted but thought was impossible
Is now everything that's on me, yeah
It is now my reality
Moving on baby
Continuing to move forward
Looking on baby
Continuing to search and hope for love
