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.

Love Takes Over Me
Kylie Minogue Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Can't believe where you take me to
As soon as you enter my mind or you crawl over my skin
Leave me no other choice but to let you in
Love takes over me
(I can feel it)
'Cause your love takes over me
Oh, your love takes over me
(I can taste it)
Yeah, your love takes over me
(I can be it)
Take, take me now
I can't take no more
Feel me breathe
Feel the energy
How did I fall prey to this
Pleasure is my lonely guide
Yeah, I escaped despite of you
Now that you're inside
Love takes over me
(I can feel it)
When your love takes over me
(I can see it)
Your love takes over me
(I can taste it)
Yeah, your love takes over me
(I can be it)
Magic is running through my veins
Pleasure is coming closer then
So, hurt with me now
So I won't hurt no more
Hear me scream
Hear my suffering
When your love takes over me
(I can feel it)
Your love takes over me
(I can see it)
Love takes over me
(I can taste it)
Love takes over me
(I can be it)
(I can feel it)
Love takes over me
(I can see it)
Your love takes over me
(I can taste it)
Love takes over me
(I can be it)
The lyrics of "Love Takes Over Me" by Kylie Minogue describe a state of surrender and intoxication caused by the powerful and overwhelming feeling of being in love. The singer is completely consumed by the object of their affection, who seems to have taken control over their mind, body, and soul. The song is an ode to the all-encompassing nature of romantic love, which can overtake the senses and transform them into a new, heightened state of existence.
The opening lines of the song suggest that the singer is lost in a world that is defined by their lover. They are astonished by the intensity of their emotions and by the way that their lover makes them feel. The lyrics "As soon as you enter my mind or you crawl over my skin, Leave me no other choice but to let you in" suggest that the singer feels helpless in the face of their feelings, and that they are compelled to surrender to their lover's influence. Throughout the song, the chorus repeats the refrain "Love takes over me," emphasizing the idea that love is a force that can completely consume and transform us.
The bridge of the song introduces a note of tension and pain, suggesting that the singer has suffered in their quest for love. The lyrics "How did I fall prey to this, Pleasure is my lonely guide, Yeah, I escaped despite of you, Now that you're inside" suggest that the singer has been hurt by love in the past, but is still willing to take the risk of being consumed by it once again. The song ends with a sense of release and surrender, as the singer gives themselves over to the power of love completely.
