The song peaked at number one on singles charts in 40 countries including every European country except Finland. It also topped the Australian Singles Chart and was certified triple-platinum by the Australian Recording Industry Association. In the United States, the song peaked at number seven on the Billboard Hot 100 chart and was Minogue's breakthrough US commercial success. As of 2018, the track has sold over five million copies worldwide.

Dawn Shadforth directed the music video for "Can't Get You Out of My Head", which features Minogue dancing against futuristic backdrops; the white jumpsuit she wore in the video became an iconic fashion statement. Since the song's release, Minogue has included it on the set lists of most of her concert tours. "Can't Get You Out of My Head" appeared on several decade-end lists compiled by media such as Rolling Stone, The Guardian and NME. In 2012, Minogue re-recorded the song for her orchestral compilation album The Abbey Road Sessions.

Writing and release

In 2000, singer-songwriter Cathy Dennis and songwriter Rob Davis had been brought together by Universal Publishing to work on new music. The session for "Can't Get You Out of My Head" began with Davis generating a 125 bpm drum loop using the computer program Cubase. Dennis improvised with the line "I just can't get you out of my head", which later became the song's lyric.[1] After three and a half hours, Davis and Dennis had recorded the demo for "Can't Get You Out of My Head" and the vocals were recorded the same day; the pair said the recording process was "very natural and fluid", and did not rely on heavy instrumentation.[1]

Prior to pitching the song to Kylie Minogue, Davis and Dennis unsuccessfully offered it to S Club 7 and Sophie Ellis-Bextor.[1][2] Davis then met with Minogue's A&R executive Jamie Nelson, who was impressed by the song's upbeat production and thought it would appeal to clubgoers. Nelson booked the song for Minogue to record.[1][3] Although Davis thought the recording session would later be cancelled,[1] Minogue wanted to record the song after hearing 20 seconds of the demo.[4] The song was recorded at Davis's home studio in Surrey, England. The music, except the guitar part, was programmed using a Korg Triton workstation via a MIDI interface.[3] Tim Orford was the mix engineer for the song.[5] Dennis later said; "even though Kylie wasn't the first artist to be offered the song, I don't believe anyone else would have done the incredible job she did with it".[1]

In 2001, Minogue embarked on the "On a Night Like This" tour to promote her seventh studio album Light Years (2000).[6] She premiered "Can't Get You Out of My Head" on stage during the tour.[7] It was later chosen as the lead single from Minogue's eighth studio album Fever and Parlophone released it on 8 September 2001 in Australia[7] and on 17 September in the United Kingdom and other European countries.[8]

Composition and lyrical interpretation

"Can't Get You Out of My Head" is three minutes and fifty seconds long.[9] In their book "The New Rolling Stone Album Guide", Nathan Brackett and Christian David Hoard labelled it a neo-disco track.[10] Justin Myers of the Official Charts Company characterized it as a dance-pop song,[11] while Stereogum's Tom Breinan described it as a techno-pop anthem.[12]

The song, which does not follow the common verse-chorus structure, is composed of numerous fragmented sections.[1] According to Davis, it "breaks a few rules as it starts with a chorus and in comes the 'la's' ".[1] Minogue chants a "la la la" hook that is often noted as the song's most appealing part.[13][14] According to BBC Radio 2, the song's composition is "deceptively simple, but its veins run with the whole history of electronic music".[15] The writer described the song's bassline as "pulsing" and influenced by the music of English rock band New Order and German electronic music band Kraftwerk.[15]

"Can't Get You Out of My Head" is about an obsession with an unknown person, whom according to The Guardian's Dorian Lansky could be "a partner, an evasive one-night stand or someone who doesn't know [the song's narrator] exists".[13] Writing for the same newspaper, Everett True identified a "darker element" in the simple lyrics and said this sentiment is echoed in Minogue's restrained vocals.[16] True also said while Minogue's earlier work presented an optimistic romantic future, "Can't Get You Out of My Head" focuses on an unhealthy and potentially destructive obsession.[16] He noted in her earlier songs, Minogue played "the wide-eyed ingénue with alacrity" but that in this track, she is aware of the harmful nature of her infatuation, which True called a "desire that is wholly dependent on her own self-control".[16]

In 2012, Minogue re-recorded "Can't Get You Out of My Head" for her orchestral compilation album The Abbey Road Sessions.[17] On the album, 16 of Minogue's earlier songs were re-worked and backed by an orchestra, which according to Nick Levine of BBC Music, "re-imagine them without the disco glitz and vocal effects".[18] The Abbey Road Sessions' version of "Can't Get You Out of My Head" has a more-noticeable musical arrangement that used a pizzicato playing technique in which the strings of a string instrument are continuously plucked.[19][20] According to Tania Zeine of ARIA Charts, the listener to the re-recorded track is "instantaneously hit with a powerful violin ballad with the accompaniment of a large orchestra throughout the remainder of the song".[21]

Critical reception

Chris True of AllMusic picked "Can't Get You Out of My Head" as a highlight of Fever, saying it "pulses and grooves like no other she's recorded".[22] Entertainment Weekly's Jim Farber said the song "fully lives up to its title" and compared it to the music of American singer Andrea True.[23] PopMatters' Jason Thompson described Minogue's vocals as a "sexual come on" and called the song "trim and funky".[24] Dominique Leone of Pitchfork said the song launched Minogue back into commercial relevance in the US and that it "exudes a catchiness that belies its inherent simplicity, so reassuring during an era when chart acts sound increasingly baroque and producers race to see who can ape electronic music trends first".[25]

In 2012, The Guardian critic Everett True defined "Can't Get You Out of My Head" as "one of those rare moments in pop: sleek and chic and stylish and damnably danceable, but with a darker element hidden in plain sight".[16] In a 2014 retrospective review, Billboard's Jason Lipshutz praised Minogue's vocals and said they compliment the production, and that; "her voice operates alongside it, finding renewed power in its drive".[26] Olive Pometsey of GQ deemed it "the sound of the noughties", highlighting the synthesisers that create "a moment of pure pop perfection".[27] Writing for the Herald Sun, Cameron Adams placed "Can't Get You Out of My Head" at the top of his list of Minogue's best songs to mark her 50th birthday. Calling the song "a happy accident", Adams wrote; "if you could program a computer to formulate the perfect pop song, it would sound like this".[28]

Reviewing The Abbey Road Sessions' version of the song, Tim Sendra of AllMusic said the "most interesting reboot" on the album took place on "Can't Get You Out of My Head", saying the "insistent strings push the song along with tightly coiled electricity that is impossible to resist".[17] Sal Cinquemani of Slant Magazine chose the song as one of the album's highlights, saying its arrangement makes up for the absence of dance beats and vocal production.[19] The Independent's Simon Price wrote while the original version of "Can't Get You Out of My Head" would be "impossible to improve on", the reworked version "turns it into a pizzicato thriller score".[20] According to Jude Rogers of The Quietus, the song's orchestral treatment does not work well for its memorable electronic production.[29]

Commercial performance

"Can't Get You Out of My Head" reached number one in 40 countries,[30] including every European country except Finland.[8] In Australia, the song entered the singles chart at number one and remained there for four consecutive weeks.[31] The Australian Recording Industry Association certified it triple-platinum, for shipments of over 210,000 copies.[32] In the United Kingdom, it faced competition from Victoria Beckham's single "Not Such an Innocent Girl" (2001).[33] On the 29 September 2001 UK Singles Chart, "Can't Get You Out of My Head" debuted at number one with first-week sales of 306,000 copies.[34][35] It spent four weeks at number one and remained for 25 weeks in the UK's Top 40.[36] It was certified double-platinum by the British Phonographic Industry.[37] By 2016, it had sold over 1.3 million copies.[38] and by 2013 it was the country's 75th best-selling single of all time.[39] In the United States, "Can't Get You Out of My Head" peaked at number seven on the Billboard Hot 100 chart[40] and became Minogue's best-selling US single since "The Loco-Motion" (1987).[8] The Recording Industry Association of America certified "Can't Get You Out of My Head" gold for shipments of over 500,000 copies.[41] It is Minogue's strongest commercial breakthrough in the US, a region where she had previously achieved limited success.[42][43]

The song was also certified gold in Belgium,[44] and New Zealand,[45] platinum in Austria,[46] France,[47] Germany,[48] Greece,[49] the Netherlands,[50] Norway,[51] South Africa,[52] Sweden[53] and Switzerland;[54] and double-platinum in Italy.[55] As of February 2018, it is Minogue's highest-selling single with worldwide sales of over five million copies.[56]

Music video

Development and synopsis
The white hooded jumpsuit sported by Minogue was seen as a highlight of the video.

British director Dawn Shadforth directed the music video for "Can't Get You Out of My Head",[57] which includes dance routines that were choreographed by Michael Rooney.[58] Minogue's looks—her youthfulness, slim figure and proportionally large mouth–had attracted comments on her exotic image; the British tabloid newspaper News of the World suggested she might be an alien.[57] Shadforth and music critic Paul Morley took the comments on Minogue's looks into consideration, commenting on her as a "creative, experimental artist" by placing her face close to the camera lens in the music video, subtly distorting her face but retaining her glamour.[57]

The video begins with Minogue driving a De Tomaso Mangusta sports car while singing the song.[59] The next scene depicts a number of couples dressed in black and white costumes performing a dance routine; they are soon joined by Minogue, who has wavy light-brown hair and is wearing a white tracksuit. The setting changes to a room where Minogue, now with straight hair and crimson lipstick, and wearing a white jumpsuit with a neckline plunging down to her navel, is striking poses.[60] The outfit was designed by London-based fashion designer Fee Doran under the label Mrs Jones.[60] Minogue then performs a synchronised dance routine with several backup dancers, who are wearing red-and-black suits.[15] As the video ends, Minogue—again with curly hair and wearing a lavender halter-neck dress with ribbon tile trim, performs a similar routine on top of a building at night.[61]

Impact

At the 2002 MTV Video Music Awards ceremony, the music video for "Can't Get You Out of My Head" was nominated for Best Dance Video; Rooney won the award for Best Choreography.[62] The hooded white jumpsuit Minogue wore in the music video is often considered to be one of her most iconic looks, particularly because of its deep, plunging neckline.[60][63][64] British fashion designer and Minogue's stylist William Baker described the choice of the outfit, saying, "it was pure but kind of slutty at the same time".[60] The outfit was put on display at Kylie: The Exhibition, which featured memorabilia and costumes from Minogue's career, which was held at the Victoria and Albert Museum in London, and at the similar Kylie: an exhibition at the Powerhouse Museum in Sydney.[61][65] The jumpsuit was also included in Minogue's official fashion photography book Kylie / Fashion, which was released to celebrate her 25 years in music.[64]

The music video served as an inspiration for Morley while writing his book Words and Music: The History of Pop in the Shape of a City. In it, Morley "turned the lonely drive [Minogue] made in the song's video towards a city ... into a fictional history of music".[66] University lecturers Diane Railton and Paul Weston, in their 2005 essay "Naughty Girls and Red Blooded Women (Representations of Female Heterosexuality in Music Video)", contrasted the music video of "Can't Get You Out of My Head" with that of Beyoncé's 2003 single "Baby Boy"; while both videos focus on two singers performing seductive dance routines, Minogue is presented in a calculated manner and "is always provisional, restricted, and contingent", whereas Beyoncé displays a particular "primitive, feral, uncontrolled and uncontrollable" sexuality that is embodied in the black female body. Railton and Weston said the videos are representative of the depictions of white and black women in colonial times and pop culture, respectively.[67]

Live performances

(2008)[71][72][73]

In 2001, "Can't Get You Out of My Head" was included on the set list of Minogue's "On a Night Like This" tour[76] and the encore segment of the KylieFever2002 tour, which promoted Fever.[77] In 2003, Minogue performed "Can't Get You Out of My Head" at the one-night concert "Money Can't Buy" at the Hammersmith Apollo in London in support of her ninth studio album Body Language, .[78] In 2005, she performed the song on her "Showgirl: The Greatest Hits" tour[79] and on her "Showgirl: The Homecoming" tour in 2006–07.[80] In 2008, she sang "Can't Get You Out of My Head" on the "KylieX2008" tour.[81] In 2009, Minogue performed "a dancetastic rendition" of the song on the "For You, for Me" tour, which was her first concert tour of North America.[82]

A rock-oriented version of the song was performed during the "Aphrodite: Les Folies Tour" in 2011.[83] The following year, Minogue promoted The Abbey Road Sessions by performing at the BBC Proms in the Park at Hyde Park, London.[84] During the event, she sang the orchestral version of "Can't Get You Out of My Head".[85] She performed the same version of the song on series nine of The X Factor in the United Kingdom on 8 December 2012.[86] A "slower, darker version" of the song was included on Minogue's "Kiss Me Once Tour" (2014–2015) set list.[87] She also included "Can't Get You Out of My Head" on the "Kylie Summer 2015" tour and the 2015 Royal Albert Hall performance as part of her "A Kylie Christmas" concert.[88][89] An acoustic-guitar-driven version of the song was performed on the "Golden Tour" (2018–2019).[90] In 2019, during her Glastonbury Festival set, Minogue was joined by English singer Chris Martin and they performed "Can't Get You Out of My Head" together.[91]

Legacy

In 2003, Q Magazine ranked "Can't Get You Out of My Head" at number 694 on their list of the 1001 Best Songs Ever.[92] In 2011, Rolling Stone magazine placed it at number 45 on their 100 Best Songs of the 2000s list, noting Minogue "seduced the US with this mirror-ball classic".[93] NME ranked the song at number 74 on their 100 Best Track of the Noughties list, saying it "encapsulated everything enviable in a well-crafted song" and that it is Minogue's best single.[94] In 2012, Priya Elan of NME placed the song at number four on her The Greatest Pop Songs in History list.[30] In 2012, The Guardian included the song on their list of The Best Number One Records, labelling it "sleek, Arctic-blue minimalism, like an emotionally thwarted retelling of Donna Summer's 'I Feel Love' ".[13] In the same year, the UK agency PRS for Music, which collects royalties on behalf of songwriters and composers, named "Can't Get You Out of My Head" the most popular song of the decade because it received the most airplay and live covers in the 2000s decade.[95][96]

According to author Lee Barron, "Can't Get You Out of My Head" "further established Minogue's cultural and commercial relevance in the new millennium".[97] He said the song "with its hypnotic 'la la la' refrain and the deceptively uncomplicated, catchily repetitive beats and synth-sound, marked yet another clearly defined image transformation from the camp-infused Light Years to an emphasis upon a cool, machine-like sexuality".[97] Everett True of The Guardian wrote the song continued Kylie's transition from the girl-next-door to "flirtatious, sophisticated persona" that started with the release of "Spinning Around" in 2000.[16] True said the success of "Can't Get You Out of My Head" was one of the motivating factors behind "manufactured" pop music gaining "new postmodern respectability" and marked a "clear shift in attitude towards pop music among the 'serious' rock critic fraternity".[16] Publications like The Guardian and Rolling Stone recognise "Can't Get You Out of My Head" as Minogue's signature song.[16][98]

"Can't Get You Out of My Head" won the award for Best Single at the 2001 Top of the Pops Awards ceremony.[99] At the 2002 ARIA Music Awards ceremony, it won the awards for Single of the Year and Highest Selling Single, and Minogue won the Outstanding Achievement Award.[100] In 2002, it won a Dutch Edison Award for Single of the Year.[101] At the inaugural Premios Oye! in 2002, the song received a nomination in the Song of the Year category.[102]
