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.

NOTHING TO LOSE
Kylie Minogue Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Gotta take a chance
Gotta make a move
Got everything to gain
And nothing to lose
Ah - nothing to lose
1a:
I fell asleep
I made up my mind
What I would say to you, and
This time
I'd make you see
It's her or me
Nothing can come between us
1b:
I won't share you
With any other girl
'cause I've got my pride, I've
CHORUS:
Gotta take a chance
Gotta make a move
Got everything to gain
And nothing to lose
Ah - nothing to lose
Everything to gain
And nothing to lose
2:
But I realized
You may decide
That maybe you just don't want me
And I may lose your love
But if that's the price
I have to pay for you, then
Maybe that's just the chance
I have to take
I made up my mind, I
CHORUS:
(repeat 2 times)

Gotta take a chance
I need to take a risk
Gotta make a move
I need to make a decision or take action
Got everything to gain
I have the opportunity to gain something valuable
And nothing to lose
There are no negative consequences of taking the risk
Ah - nothing to lose
I have no reason to hold back
Last night
The previous night
I fell asleep
I went to bed
I made up my mind
I made a decision
What I would say to you, and
What I would communicate to you
This time
On this specific occasion
I'd make you see
I would help you understand
It's her or me
You have to choose between us
Nothing can come between us
No outside force can affect or break our relationship
I won't share you
I will not accept another person sharing your affection
With any other girl
With any other female
'cause I've got my pride, I've
Because I value myself and my dignity
Gotta take a chance
I need to take a risk
Got everything to gain
I have the opportunity to gain something valuable
And nothing to lose
There are no negative consequences of taking the risk
Ah - nothing to lose
I have no reason to hold back
Everything to gain
I have a lot to gain
But I realized
I came to a realization
You may decide
You have the power to choose
That maybe you just don't want me
Perhaps you do not desire a relationship with me
And I may lose your love
I may lose your affection
But if that's the price
If that is the cost I must pay
I have to pay for you, then
I am willing to pay it for you
Maybe that's just the chance
Perhaps that is the risk
I have to take
I need to take that risk
I made up my mind, I
I have made a decision
Gotta take a chance
I need to take a risk
Got everything to gain
I have the opportunity to gain something valuable
And nothing to lose
There are no negative consequences of taking the risk
Ah - nothing to lose
I have no reason to hold back
Gotta take a chance
I need to take a risk
Got everything to gain
I have the opportunity to gain something valuable
And nothing to lose
There are no negative consequences of taking the risk
Ah - nothing to lose
I have no reason to hold back

I won't share you with any other girl
'Cause I've got my pride, I've
Gotta take a chance, gotta make a move
Got everything to gain and nothing to lose
Ah, nothing to lose
Everything to gain and nothing to lose
But I realized you may decide
Maybe you just don't want me now
May lose your love but if that's the price
I have to pay for you, then
Maybe that's just the chance I have to take
I made up my mind, I
Gotta take a chance, gotta make a move

Gotta take a chance, gotta make a move
Got everything to gain and nothing to lose
Ah, nothing to lose
Everything to gain and nothing to lose
Gotta take a chance, gotta make a move
Got everything to gain and nothing to lose
