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 ↴
(Oh)
I'm spinning around
Move outta my way
I know you're feeling me
'Cause you like it like this
I'm breaking it down
I'm not the same
'Cause you like it like this
Traded in some sorrow
For some joy that I borrowed
From back in the day
Threw away my old clothes
Got myself a better wardrobe
I got something to say
I'm through with the past
Ain't no point in looking back
The future will be
And did I forget to mention
That I found a new direction
And it leads back to me, yeah
I'm spinning around
Move outta my way
I know you're feeling me
'Cause you like it like this
I'm breaking it down
I'm not the same
I know you're feeling me
'Cause you like it like this
The mistakes I've made
Have given me the strength
To really believe
That no matter how I take it
There's no way I'm gonna fake it
'Cause it's gotta be real
I've got nothing left to hide
No reason left to fight
'Cause the truth's given me
A new freedom inside
Getting rid of my desire
Do you like what you see?
I'm spinning around
Move outta my way
I know you're feeling me
'Cause you like it like this
I'm breaking it down
I'm not the same
I know you're feeling me
'Cause you like it like this
Baby, baby, baby
(Ooh) You know you like it like this
Oh, baby, baby, baby
You know you like it like this
Oh, baby, baby, baby

Move outta my way
I know you're feeling me
'Cause you like it like this
I'm breaking it down
I'm not the same
I know you're feeling me
'Cause you like it like this
Feeling me 'cause you like it like this
Oh, I'm not the same
I know you like it like this, oh, ooh, yeah
Like it like this
Like it like this
(I'm not the same)
Like it like this
I'm not the same (I'm not the same)
Oh

@randorific333
Happy Anniversary, "Spinning Around." It's one of my absolute faves of Kylie's because it was a major anthem of mine after the break-up from a very rough six years relationship.
@PHlophe
Randy hit the club to get over the break up
@ajbaby3784
The original “ don’t start now” Kylie was so ahead of her time. A true pop artist 💕
@NazriB
Lies again? Samsung Ericsson
@latayesha
@Nazri Buang RUDE
@whatoncewas8480
True
@cherishoneal9108
When you think about it
@kidanygascot1410
OMG so true!!! In fact, the whole Future Nostalgia album is heavily influenced by Kylie Minogue.
@bloodhunterr
This song and video are iconic in so many ways. Her return to the scene , those shorts and the song itself
@petercarey7456
The shorts were only a few pence from a second hand shop apparently, bit of useless information.
