Interesting facts and trivia about Can't Get You out of My Head. By Songfacts®.

True to the title, this is a song you can't get out of your head. It's sometimes known as "The La La Song" because the chorus is Kylie singing "La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la" over and over, which combined with the irresistible groove makes it an effective earworm. The song even starts with that chorus. The verses are an afterthought on this one, there to support the music. The lyric finds Minogue crazy in love, hoping she can spend a lifetime with this lucky guy.

This was written by Cathy Dennis and former Mud guitarist Rob Davis. Dennis had a few hits as a solo artist in the early '90s, including "Just Another Dream" and "Too Many Walls." Regarding "Can't Get You Out Of My Head," she told Songwriting magazine: "It was organic, we didn't try and do anything contrived, so when something did spark we were both able to embrace it and jump on it and go with it. I thought the song is very 'left of center' for pop."

Cathy Dennis and Rob Davis originally wrote this for S Club 7 after their manager, Simon Fuller, asked the duo to come up with a song for the British pop group. After Fuller heard the demo, he felt it wasn't right for S Club 7 and rejected it. It was then offered to Sophie Ellis-Bextor, but she turned it down. Davis then met with Minogue's A&R executive Jamie Nelson who, after hearing the demo cassette of the song, booked it for Minogue to record.
