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.

So Now Goodbye
Kylie Minogue Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I never thought you'd be mine
Then we went ahead and fell in love
Heaven was a common ground
We were never coming down
The two of us we had more than enough
You and I are not the same
To you love is just a game
Things will never be the same again
So now goodbye
This time I will be gone goodbye
Stayed for way too long
Started out with trust
But it isn't just about the good times baby
Remember all the promises we swore to
Can't say I didn't warn you
How I did adore you way back then (I did adore you adore you)
Ohhhhh
But you broke a solemn vow
Ha! you're paying for it now
Wouldn't you expect more from a friend
You and I are not the same
To you love is just a game
Things will never be the same again
So now goodbye
This time I will be gone goodbye
Stayed for way too long
Started out with trust
But it isn't just about the good times baby
So now goodbye
This time I will be gone goodbye
I stayed for way too long
I don't need you now
And I am oh so tired of excuses baby
Goodbye
Goodbye
Goodbye
Goodbye
This time will be gone goodbye
Stayed for way to long this time
It all started out with trust
But it isn't about the good times baby
So now goodbye
This time I will be gone goodbye
I stayed for way too long
I don't need you now
And I am oh so tired of excuses baby

Remember when I saw you for the first time
I recall the moment I first laid eyes on you
I never thought you'd be mine
I never expected to be in a relationship with you
Then we went ahead and fell in love
Despite my doubts, we ended up falling in love
Heaven was a common ground
Our love was shared and mutual, like paradise
We were never coming down
We felt like our love was euphoric and never-ending
The two of us we had more than enough
Nothing could separate us, we had everything we needed
You and I are not the same
We have different values, perspectives and ways of approaching things
To you love is just a game
You treat love as a competition or something trivial
Things will never be the same again
Our relationship has been fractured and can never be like it was before
So now goodbye
I am officially ending our relationship
This time I will be gone goodbye
This time, once I leave, I won't come back
Stayed for way too long
I should have left earlier but I hung on for too long
Started out with trust
Our relationship began with a foundation of trust
But it isn't just about the good times baby
A good relationship requires more than just happy moments
Remember all the promises we swore to
I have not forgotten the pledges we made to each other
Can't say I didn't warn you
I did try to alert you to the potential consequences of your actions
How I did adore you way back then (I did adore you adore you)
I loved and cherished you in the past
But you broke a solemn vow
You failed to keep an important promise you made to me
Ha! you're paying for it now
You are suffering the consequences of your choices
Wouldn't you expect more from a friend
I would have anticipated more loyalty and reliability from someone I considered a friend
I don't need you now
I have moved on and do not require your presence or affection
And I am oh so tired of excuses baby
I am fatigued and irritated by your constant justifications and apologies
