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.

Specially For You
Kylie Minogue Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I want to let you know what I was going through
All the time we were apart
I thought of you
You were in my heart
My love never changed
I still feel the same
I want to tell you I was feeling that way too
And if dreams were wings, you know
I would have flown to you
To be where you are
No matter how far
And now that I'm next to you
No more dreaming about tomorrow
Forget the loneliness and the sorrow
I've got to say
It's all because of you
And now we're back together, together
I want to show you my heart is oh so true
And all the love I have is
Especially for you
Especially for you
I want to tell you, you mean all the world to me
How I'm certain that our love was meant to be
You changed my life
You showed me the way
And now that I'm next to you
I've waited long enough to find you
I want to put all the hurt behind you
Oh,
And I want to bring out all the love inside you
Oh
And now we're back together, together
I want to show you my heart is oh so true
And all the love I have is
Especially for you
You were in my heart
My love never changed
And now we're back together, together
I want to show you my heart is oh so true
And all the love I have is
Especially for you
"Especially for You" is a song by Kylie Minogue and Jason Donovan, released as a single in 1988. The song is a romantic ballad that tells the story of two lovers who were separated but still held onto their love for each other. The lyrics express a deep longing for the one they love and a desire to be reunited.
The first stanza presents the theme of the song, which is love and the longing for the loved one. Kylie Minogue sings that she always held onto her love for her partner even when they were apart, and her love for him never changed. This statement sets the tone for the entire song as it goes on to reiterate that their love is meant to be and they are now back together. In the second stanza, Jason Donovan reciprocates with the same sentiment, that he also longed for his partner the entire time they were apart and if he could, he would have flown to her.
The chorus emphasizes that both partners have waited long enough to find each other and now that they are together, all the hurt and loneliness are forgotten. They want to show each other that their hearts are true, and all the love they have is "especially" for each other. The verse sections are followed by a chorus that emphasizes the depth of their love and how they are now back together.
In essence, "Especially for You" is a song about the unbreakable bond of love that brings lovers back together. It reiterates the fact that love transcends time and space, and their love was meant to be.

Wow, this song brings tears to my eyes.
Seeing them together is just so beautiful.
It brings back memories and nostalgia.
How wonderful it seemed back then. They made a beautiful couple. Jason was a heartthrob of many.
At that time, life seemed like it would be wonderful forever. I really loved these two. Of course, things changed. They went their own ways.
But, the memories are mind blowing. It takes me back to the era ,where the world looked so rosy, comfortable and full of love which this song shows.
But.... life changed so much.
This song brings back the tears, the what ifs. ... takes me back to that wonderful era. And I can't help the tears.
God bless Kylie and Jason where ever they may be. I thank them ,for the beauty of this song and that gorgeous era. For the nostalgia, which takes me back to a memory. A beautiful, beautiful era.

It’s 2023.. and I still remember this song clearly, every lyrics of it.. I even remember the video clip. It’s one of my dad’s favorite songs. My dad even bought the album. I found out the song was released in 1989, it means I was 8 years old at that time. And now after 32 years later, it brings back all the memories. I could even hear my dad singing to that song. Rest in peace, dad. You’re STILL and ALWAYS in my heart.. ❤️
