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 ↴
This feeling has taken over me
Thank God you feel it too
Cos words would fail me
And the spirits did bless this
For getting on that road
We were taken to a place
Magical yet true
Love is in my life
Nothing I have known
Ever felt so right
There's no more that I can do
Than to fall a little more in love with you
Here we are and we're paper dolls
And we're side by side
Here we are on the magic ride
Just for you and I
Everytime I look into your eyes
I fall a little more in love
Everytime takes me by surprise
I fall a little more in love with you
Do do do yeah
Do do doo I fall a little more in love with you
It's becoming the one thing
That I want to last
And there's never time enough
The hours go too fast
As day becomes the night
Love is in my life
Nothing I have known
Ever felt so right
There's no more that I can do
Than to fall a little more in love with you
Here we are and we're paper dolls
And we're side by side
Here we are on the magic ride
Just for you and I
Everytime I look into your eyes I fall a little more in love
Everytime takes me by surprise I fall a little more in love with you
Do do do Do do doo
Mmmm I fall a little more in love with you
Do do do yeah
Do do doo I fall a little more in love with you
Everytime I look into your eyes
I fall a little more in love
Everytime takes me by surprise
I fall a little more in love with you
The lyrics of Kylie Minogue's Paper Dolls describe falling in love and the overwhelming feeling that comes with it. The opening lines set the tone for the song, as Kylie sings about the strong feeling that has taken over her. She expresses gratitude that the person she is in love with shares this feeling, as words alone cannot accurately describe the emotion. The lyrics also suggest that the couple has embarked on a journey together, and that they have been taken to a place that is both magical and true. This could be interpreted as a metaphor for the new dimension that love has added to their lives.
The chorus of the song describes the couple as "paper dolls" who are side by side and on a "magic ride". This reinforces the idea that they are in love and sharing the experience together. The metaphor of paper dolls could imply that the couple is fragile and delicate, but also suggests that they were once separate but have now become united. The repetition of the phrase "fall a little more in love with you" throughout the song highlights the intensity of the feeling, and implies that this is a process that will continue to develop over time. The final lines of the song suggest that time is fleeting and there is never enough of it, but Kylie is determined to make the most of the time she has with the person she loves.
