The song was released in Australia by Parlophone as the lead single from the album on 8 September 2001. It was released on 17 September 2001 in the United Kingdom. In the United States, the single was released on 18 February 2002. Written and produced by Cathy Dennis and Rob Davis, "Can't Get You Out of My Head" is a midtempo dance-pop song which lyrically details Minogue's obsession towards her lover. The song is famous for its "la la la" hook. In addition to positive reviews from music critics, "Can't Get You Out of My Head" found commercial success on a large scale. It peaked at number one on the charts of Austria, Belgium, France, Germany, Italy, Poland, Switzerland, the United Kingdom, and every other European country excluding Finland. It also topped the charts of Minogue's native country Australia and New Zealand. In the United States, the song peaked at number seven on the US ''Billboard'' Hot 100 chart, becoming Minogue's biggest hit in the region since "The Loco-Motion". "Can't Get You Out of My Head" reportedly reached number one in 40 countries across the globe. It was certified triple-platinum in Australia, double-platinum in the United Kingdom, and gold in the United States. It became Minogue's first single to sell in excess of one million copies in the United Kingdom, where it also stands as the 28th best-selling single of the millennium. As of 2013, the song is Minogue's highest selling single and one of the best-selling singles of all time, with worldwide sales exceeding five million. The accompanying music video for the song was directed by Dawn Shadforth, and features Minogue performing various dance routines in different futuristic backdrops. It became notable for the revealing hooded white jumpsuit Minogue wore during one of the scenes. The song has been performed by Minogue during all of her concert tours as of 2013, with the exception of the Anti Tour. Following its release, "Can't Get You Out of My Head" ranked on a number of decade-end lists compiled by magazines such as the ''Rolling Stone'', ''The Guardian'', and ''NME''. It is considered to be Minogue's strongest commercial breakthrough in the United States and is said to have been the reason behind the success of its parent album ''Fever'' in the region. "Can't Get You Out of My Head" is also recognised as Minogue's signature song and was a defining point in her musical career. In 2012, the song was re-recorded for inclusion in Minogue's orchestral compilation album ''The Abbey Road Sessions''. ==Background and recording== In 2000, Minogue signed on to Parlophone and released her seventh studio album ''Light Years''. The disco and Europop inspired album was a critical and commercial success,〔 and was later certified four times-platinum in Minogue's native country Australia for shipment of 280,000 units,〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.aria.com.au/pages/aria-charts-accreditations-albums-2001.htm )〕 and platinum in the United Kingdom for shipment of 300,000 units.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.bpi.co.uk/certified-awards.aspx )〕 "Spinning Around" was released as the lead single off the album and was a commercial success, attaining a platinum certification in Australia for shipment of 70,000 units,〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.aria.com.au/pages/aria-charts-accreditations-singles-2000.htm )〕 and a silver certification in the United Kingdom for shipment of 200,000 units.〔 She promoted the album by embarking on the On a Night Like This tour. Minogue premièred "Can't Get You Out of My Head" by performing it during the tour and soon after discussion regarding the song "quickly set online messageboards alight". "Can't Get You Out of My Head" was chosen as the lead single from Minogue's eighth studio album ''Fever'', and it was released on 8 September 2001 by Parlophone in Australia,〔 while in the United Kingdom and other European countries it was released on 17 September. "Can't Get You Out of My Head" was written and produced by Cathy Dennis and Rob Davis, who had been put together by British artist manager Simon Fuller, who wanted the duo to come up with a song for British pop group S Club 7.〔 The song was recorded using Cubase music software, which Davis ran on his Mac computer. Davis began playing an acoustic guitar and ran a 125 beats per minute drum loop, on which Dennis began singing the line "I just can't get you out of my head" in the key of D minor.〔 After three and a half hours, the demo was recorded and the vocals were laid afterwards.〔 Dennis called their recording setup for the song "the most primitive set-up you could imagine! Different producers work in different ways. But it's good to be reminded you don’t have to be reliant on equipment. A song is about melody and lyrics and being able to take something away in your memory that is going to haunt you".〔 She also regarded their production as a "very natural and fluid process", saying "We know how hard we work sometimes to write songs and then spend months picking them to pieces, but this was the easiest process, the chemicals were all happy and working together".〔 After Fuller heard the demo, he felt it wasn't right for S Club 7 and rejected it; English singer-songwriter Sophie Ellis-Bextor also turned down the offer to record it.〔 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 later that year.〔 Nelson was impressed by the "vibe" of the song and felt it would please the "danceheads". Although Davis was initially under the impression that the recording deal would be called off later,〔 Minogue became enthusiastic to record the song after hearing 20 seconds of the demo. The whole song including Minogue's vocals were recorded at Davis's home studio in Surrey. The music, excluding the guitar part, was programmed using Korg Triton workstation via a MIDI.〔 Dennis later remarked that "Even though Kylie wasn't the first artist to be offered the song. I don't believe it was meant to go to anyone other than Kylie, and I don't believe anyone else would have done the incredible job she did with it, with the video, looking super-hot!".〔 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「Can't Get You Out of My Head」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
