Kylie Minogue opened the account for Fever, her eighth studio album, with "Can't Get You Out of My Head", which Parlophone sent out on 8 September 2001, and pop still hasn't shaken it loose. Cathy Dennis and Rob Davis wrote and produced it, Davis handling keyboards and electric guitar, while Minogue stacks her own backing vocals over a cool, hypnotic nu-disco pulse and a wordless hook that burrows in and refuses to leave. The song is about fixating on a lover, and the track behaves exactly like one.
It went to number one in 40 countries, held the UK top spot for four weeks, gave her a first American top-ten single in 13 years and sold past twelve million copies. Dawn Shadforth's video, all futuristic backdrops and that white jumpsuit, turned a costume into a fashion statement.
