Say Something

This disco-inspired pop anthem finds Kylie Minogue looking for love. We're a million miles apart in a thousand ways Baby, you can light up the dark like a solar scape And I can almost feel you coming and your heartbeat race Someone, somebody, something, in the choice we make That elusive source of love may not currently be in Kylie's orbit, but she knows it's out there somewhere. She told BBC Radio 2: "This song is about all of our eternal quest for love and the searching and knowing that there's something or someone out there that you can relate to and makes you a better person."

Kylie wrote "Say Something" in September 2019 with longtime collaborators Biff Stannard and Ash Howes, plus Jon Green, who worked on her previous album, Golden. It was recorded during Minogue's first session for Golden's follow-up before she even had a timeline or a record planned. She told Apple Music how the song spilled out of them that day: "I knew that the three of us would do something different, but I didn't know it would be this. It started as a beat, and we were all just singing into a microphone to capture everything."

Oh, we're just, just tryin' to find ourselves in the storms we chase Baby, in an endless summer, we can find our way Though a lot of the song is a stream of consciousness, here Minogue reflects on taking a risk that could change the course of her life. She explained to the BBC: "Sometimes you wonder, 'Why am I doing this? Why am I putting myself through this?' Or "'this might not be the safest road to take,' but I think it's through adversity that we find ourselves."
