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.

Tears on My Pillow
Kylie Minogue Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
T'was not so long ago, you broke my heart in two
Tears on my pillow, pain in my heart
Caused by you
If we could start anew, I wouldn't hesitate
I'd gladly take you back
And tempt the hand of fate
Caused by you
Love is not a gadget, love is not a toy
When you find the one you love
She'll fill your heart with joy
If we could start anew, I wouldn't hesitate
I'd gladly take you back
And tempt the hand of fate
Tears on my pillow, pain in my heart
Caused by you
Tears on my pillow, pain in my heart
Caused by you
Caused by you
Caused by you
Caused by you
Kylie Minogue's song, "Tears on My Pillow," expresses the feelings of the singer after being heartbroken by someone she loved. The lyrics suggest that the person who broke her heart does not remember her, but she remembers the pain and heartbreak caused by them. The lines, "T'was not so long ago, you broke my heart in two", shows that the memory is still fresh even though a little time has passed.
The chorus, "Tears on my pillow, pain in my heart, caused by you," sums up the emotion felt by the singer. The tears on her pillow are an indication of the hurt and pain she is feeling inside. The line "if we could start anew," suggests that she still longs to be with the person who hurt her. The singer is willing to give another chance, without hesitation, because she still feels love for this person. It also suggests that the singer is blaming the person for breaking her heart, which is why she's feeling so much pain and sadness.
Further, the artist downplays the idea of love being a gadget or a toy. Love is not something you use and dispose of; it's real and should be taken seriously. The lyrics suggest that when you love someone, it brings joy to your heart. The final repetition of the line, "Caused by you," reminds the listener that the pain she is experiencing is because of that person, and she cannot escape it.
