''All the Lovers'' is a song recorded by Australian recording artist Kylie Minogue for her eleventh studio album, ''Aphrodite'' (2010). One of the last songs to be recorded for the album, "All the Lovers" was written by Jim Eliot and Mima Stilwell and produced by the former. Stuart Price, the executive producer of ''Aphrodite'', was responsible for additional production and mixing of the song. Minogue felt "All the Lovers" summarised the "euphoria" of the album perfectly and chose it to be the lead single from ''Aphrodite''.〔 It was then globally released by Parlophone as a CD single and digital download on 11 June 2010. "All the Lovers" is a midtempo disco song with influences of electropop music. The lyrics of the song serve as an invitation to the dance floor and an assertion that Minogue's past relationships do not "compare" to the one she shares with her present lover.〔 Upon its release, "All the Lovers" garnered critical acclaim and was commended for its chorus and production. Many critics found it similar to Minogue's 2004 single "I Believe in You". Compared to the lead singles from Minogue's previous albums, "All the Lovers" underperformed in Australia and missed peaking inside the top ten of the Australian Singles Chart. However, it was a commercial success in Europe, reaching the top ten in numerous countries including Austria, Belgium, France, Italy, Spain and Switzerland and the United Kingdom. In the latter country, "All the Lovers" peaked at number three on the UK Singles Chart. A club hit in the United States, it topped the ''Billboard'' Hot Dance Club Songs chart. "All the Lovers" was certified silver in the United Kingdom and gold in Australia and Italy. An accompanying music video for "All the Lovers" was filmed in Downtown Los Angeles by Joseph Kahn, and features Minogue singing the song from atop a pyramid of underwear-clad couples. Critical reception towards the video was favourable, with many critics enjoying its concept and imagery. The music video was banned in several Asian countries due to its sexual nature. For additional promotion, Minogue performed the song on various television shows, such as ''Germany's Next Topmodel'' and ''Alan Carr: Chatty Man''. It was included on the set list of the Aphrodite: Les Folies Tour and was performed during the encore segment of the concert shows. An orchestral version of the song was featured on the tracklist of Minogue's 2012 compilation album ''The Abbey Road Sessions''. == Background and release == Following her recovery from breast cancer, Minogue released her tenth studio album ''X'' in 2007. Slated to be released as Minogue's comeback album, ''X'' went platinum in her native-country Australia〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.aria.com.au/pages/httpwww.aria.com.aupagesARIACharts-Accreditations-2007Albums.htm )〕 after it debuted at number one on the Australian Albums chart.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://australian-charts.com/showitem.asp?interpret=Kylie+Minogue&titel=X&cat=a )〕 In the United Kingdom, the album entered and peaked at number four on the UK Albums Chart and was eventually certified platinum.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.bpi.co.uk/certified-awards.aspx )〕 Critical reception towards ''X'' was generally favourable, but many critics felt that it lacked introspection from Minogue's side.〔 Later on, critics argued that the album did not serve as a worthy comeback for Minogue. Soon, Minogue began working on her eleventh studio album ''Aphrodite''. Grammy award-winning British electronic music producer Stuart Price was enlisted as the executive producer of the album. "All the Lovers" was one of the last tracks to be written for ''Aphrodite'' and "only really came up" during the last three weeks of the recording sessions. It was written by Jim Eliot and Mima Stilwell, known collectively as British electropop group Kish Mauve. The duo had previously collaborated with Minogue on "2 Hearts", the lead single from ''X''.〔 Eliot produced the track and Price handled additional production and mixing. Minogue also recorded a Spanish-language version of the song entitled "Los Amores". Minogue premiered "All the Lovers" on radio stations in the United Kingdom on 14 May 2010.〔 It was released worldwide as the lead single from the album on 11 June 2010 in CD single formats.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://australian-charts.com/showitem.asp?interpret=Kylie+Minogue&titel=All+the+Lovers&cat=s )〕 The song was also made available to download digitally at the iTunes Store on the same day.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=https://itunes.apple.com/us/album/all-the-lovers-single/id726102285 )〕 In the United Kingdom, "All the Lovers" was initially released digitally on 13 June and later received a physical release in various formats on 28 June 2010. "Los Amores" and "Go Hard or Go Home" were included as the B-sides to the song.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「All the Lovers」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
