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.

Step Back I Time
Kylie Minogue Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I want to f-f-you f-you-n-k
[Repeat: x 2]
I want to funk, I want to funk
I want to f-f-you f-you-n-k
Non stop dancing the bus stop
Hustle, pumpin the muscle
Blame it on the boogie
Remember the old days
Remember the O'Jays
Walkin' in rhythm, life was for livin'
[Chorus]
When you can't find the music
To get down and boogie
All you can do is step back in time
Ball of confusion
When nothing is new, and
There's nothing doin', step back in time
Keep on truckin' along
Riding on a love train
And then we can float on
You'll never go wrong
[Chorus]
Step back in time
Step back
I want to step back, step back
[Chorus until fade]
The chorus of Kylie Minogue's Step Back in Time suggests that when contemporary music fails to inspire or engage us, we can always revisit the music of the past. It encourages us to take a step back in time to when the sounds of the O'Jays ruled the airwaves and when we could dance free from the constraints of modern times. The song's lyrics take us on a journey down memory lane, where we're brought back to an age when we danced the bus stop and boogied till our feet hurt.
In the pre-chorus, Kylie sings 'I want to funk, I want to f-f-you f-you-n-k.' This line suggests that she wants to let loose, to have fun and party to some funky tunes. Funk music is all about rhythm and groove, about feeling the beat and letting go. Kylie's proclamation speaks to that desire to let loose and feel the rhythm with abandon.
Overall, Step Back in Time contrasts the flashy beats and rhythms of modern-day pop music with the enduring appeal of classic funk and disco grooves. It reminds us that sometimes we need to take a step back and dance to the beats of the past to regain our spirit and energy.

Go back to the rhythms of the past and dance
Keep on truckin' along

Riding on a love train
Following the path of love and happiness
And then we can float on
And then we can relax and enjoy the ride
You'll never go wrong
You'll always be happy and satisfied
Step back in time
Dance to the rhythms of the past
Step back
Go back in time
I want to step back, step back
I want to dance to the rhythms of the past
