"Can't Get You Out of My Head" is a song recorded by Australian singer
Kylie Minogue (pictured) for Fever, her eighth studio album. Parlophone
released the song as the album's lead single on 8 September 2001.
Written and produced by Cathy Dennis and Rob Davis, it is a dance-pop,
techno-pop and neo-disco song that is known for its "la la la" hook. Its
lyrics are about Minogue's obsession with her love interest. Music
critics praised the song's production and Minogue's vocals and labelled
it a highlight of Fever. The song peaked at number one on charts in 40
countries worldwide. The music video for "Can't Get You Out of My Head",
directed by Dawn Shadforth, features Minogue dancing against futuristic
backdrops; the white jumpsuit she wore in the video became a fashion
statement. Since the song's release, Minogue has included it on the set
lists of various concert tours.
