The Album Version Is Slightly Shorter Than The Music Video Version. The Song Was Written By Steve Torch Graham Stack Mark Taylor And Brian Rawling And Produced By Stack And Taylor. Musically "On A Night Like This" Is A Dance-Pop Song With Elements Of Nu-Disco And House While The Lyrics Are About A Girl Who Wants To Share Her Night With A Boy On A Specific Night Together. The Song Received Positive Reviews From Music Critics Who Felt It Was A Highlight From The Album And Potentially Single-Worthy. The Accompanying Music Video Was A Concept Based On The 1995 Crime Film Casino. The Song Charted At One And Two On The Australian Singles Chart And UK Singles Chart And Fared Moderately Worldwide. The Song Was Later Re-Recorded In 2011 At The Abbey Road Studios For Inclusion On Minogue's Orchestral Album The Abbey Road Sessions. In 1998 Minogue's Contract With Deconstruction Had Ended Due In Part To The Relatively Unsuccessful Commercial Turnout Of The Album Impossible Princess. The Last Single From That Album "Cowboy Style" Was Released Only In Australia By Mushroom Records To Coincide With The Intimate And Live Tour. By 1999 Kylie Minogue Had Signed Herself To The Label Parlophone. She Began Recording Songs For Her Seventh Album Light Years Most Notably The Lead Single "Spinning Around" Which Became A Number One Hit And Was Considered Her 'comeback' Single. On 24 February 2012 Minogue Premiered A Video Of Her Performing The Song On Her YouTube Channel. It Was Then Revealed That Minogue Would Be Recording A Compilation Album For Her K25 Anniversary Which Is An Anniversary Of Her Music Career For Spanning Twenty-Five Years. The Album Along With The Song Was Recorded In London England At Abbey Road Studios In November 2011. On October 24 She Released The Abbey Road Sessions Which Included The Reworked Version Of "On A Night Like This". Produced By Steve Anderson And Colin Elliot The Song Was Re-Released As A Single On 17 December 2012. In Minogue's Native Australia The Single Debuted At Number One And Spent Two Non-Consecutive Weeks There. It Spent A Total Of Seventeen Weeks In The Top Fifty Becoming One Of Minogue's Longest Charting Singles. As With Her Previous Number One Single "Spinning Around" "On A Night Like This" Was Also Certified Platinum And Became The Twenty-Seventh Most Successful Single Of The Year 2000 In Australia. The Song Led To Minogue Being Honoured As The Artist Having The Most Singles Debuting At Number One. It Also Gave Her A Record For Having The Largest Fall From The Number One Position—falling To Number Five. It Was Also Successful In The United Kingdom Where It Peaked At Number Two Behind Modjo's "Lady Hear Me Tonight ". It Revived To Have Modest Success Elsewhere. In New Zealand The Song Debuted At Number Forty Until Rising To Thirty-Five Where It Peaked. The Song Then Debuted At Number Thirty-Three In Sweden Until It Rose To Thirty-One Staying There For Two Consecutive Weeks. The Song Became Less Successful In Other Countries. The Song Survived Only One Week In Finland Debuting At Number Twenty. The Song Also Only Peaked At Number Sixty-Nine In France And Sixty-Four In The Netherlands.
The Music Video For "On A Night Like This" Was Directed By Douglas Avery Filmed In Monte Carlo And Was Loosely Based On Martin Scorsese's 1995 Crime Drama Movie Casino With Kylie Herself Portraying A Character Loosely Based On Sharon Stone's Bored Trophy Wife And Blade Runner Actor Rutger Hauer Portraying Her Mob Boss Partner. The Video Starts With A Mob-Related Scene With The Men Speaking In French. The Video Translates With Subtitles "Matters Are Not Handled In This Way/Here In Monte Carlo/Things Are Closely Watched/The Authorities Are Extremely Vigilant/The Things You Ask Of Us/Are Not So Easy". As The Song Starts Minogue Is On A Diving Board Over A Pool She Jumps In With While Wearing An Expensive Versace. After She Sings The Chorus She Undresses Into Her Underwear And Looking At The Mobsters Throws Her Dress Across Towards Their Window. As The Second Verse Starts She Appears In Another Versace Costume With Expensive Diamond Jewellery In A Limousine. As The Chorus Arrives She Appears In A Monte Carlo Casino And Wins Money. She Later Goes Home Where Her Mob Boss Lover Sees Her As She Comes Into The Hallway And Smashes A Green Glass Vase. As The Song Ends She Steps Onto A Porch Undresses Again And He Can Only Stare. The Video Ends With Her Stepping Down From The Porch And Fades To Black. While The Video Enjoyed Moderate Success In Most Of The World It Still Managed To Attract Considerable Controversy. According To Reports By NME The Original Clip Supposedly Contained Scenes That Would Have Resulted In A Mass Banning. The Directors Cut Had Been Noted To Contain Minogue In Full-Frontal Nudity However NME Reported That Plans To Release Such A Music Video Were Scrapped. Despite This The Edited Version Still Turns Heads Thanks To A See-Through Dress Sported By Kylie.

Frogtoon Music Album Info: Light Years

Light Years Is The Seventh Studio Album By Australian Recording Artist Kylie Minogue. It Was Released On 25 September 2000 By Parlophone. The Album's Style Was Indicative Of Her Return To "mainstream Pop Dance Tunes". Light Years Received Mixed To Favourable Reviews From Music Critics With Some Appreciating Her Fresh New Pop Roots And Dance Music. Two Weeks After Debuting At Number Two On The Australian Albums Chart The Album Reached The Top Position Making It Minogue's First Number-One Album In Her Native Australia. It Was Later Certified Four Times Platinum By The Australian Recording Industry Association ARIA . The Album Combined A Fresh Dance-Pop Sound With Elements Of Disco And House Music. The Opening Track And Lead Single "Spinning Around" Was Composed Around A Disco Foundation. It Was Co-Written By American Singer Paula Abdul Who Planned On It Being Her Own Comeback Single. However Abdul's Album Never Came To Fruition So Parlophone Attained The Song And Gave It To Minogue. The Lyrics Bore A Resemblance To Minogue's Own Career Quite Coincidentally Considering She Had Not Written The Song Nor Was It Written Specifically For Her. "On A Night Like This" Was Noted For Its House And Europop Sound. Released As The Second Single Minogue Also Performed The Song At The Closing Ceremony Of The 2000 Olympic Games In Sydney Australia. "So Now Goodbye" Was Written By Minogue And Steve Anderson. It Contained A Mixture Of Disco And House Music Styles. "Disco Down" Showcased A Modern Dance-Pop/house Sound While Also Embodying Synthpop And Electronic Styles As Did The Title Track "Light Years". Both Songs Were Considered Highlights Of The Album And Were Praised As Being Futuristic. "Koocachoo" Marked A Change In The Album With Its Psychedelic Pop Layout Similar To The Tracks "I'm So High" And B-Side Song "Cover Me With Kisses". "Loveboat" And "Your Disco Needs You" Were Written By Minogue In Collaboration With Robbie Williams And Guy Chambers. Both Songs Were Composed As A Homage To Disco Music With The Latter Single Being Regarded As A Gay Anthem. Williams And Chambers Also Wrote The Pop/rock Track "Kids" Initially As A Solo Single For Minogue However Robbie Williams Became Quite Fond Of The Song That He Instead Altered It To Be A Duet. "Kids" Was Released In October 2000 As The Second Single From Williams' Album Sing When You're Winning And As The Third Single From Minogue's Light Years. While The Majority Of The Album's Songs Were Original Recordings Minogue Did Cover The Barry White Disco Song "Under The Influence Of Love". Other Tracks Ranged In Sound From The Fourth Single Release "Please Stay" Which Differed From The Rest Of The Album As It Contained A Latin Music Style To "Bittersweet Goodbye" Which Was Notable For Being The Only Ballad On The Album. "Butterfly" Was Also Acknowledged As A Standout Of The Album Due To Its Strong House And Techno Influences. In The US The Song Was Remixed And Issued To Clubs Around The Country Thus Allowing It To Peak On The Hot Dance Club Songs Chart At Number Fourteen. In Australia Light Years Debuted At Number Two On The ARIA Albums Chart On 2 August 2000. Three Weeks Later The Album Rose To Number One Becoming Minogue's First Number-One Album In Her Home Country. It Spent Forty-One Weeks In The Top Fifty And Subsequently Received A Quadruple Platinum Accreditation From The Australian Recording Industry Association ARIA For Sales In Excess Of 280 000 Copies. In New Zealand The Album Debuted And Peaked At Number Eight On The RIANZ Albums Chart Where It Stayed For Five Weeks Altogether. It Debuted And Peaked At Number Two On The UK Albums Chart For The Issue Dated 1 October 2000 Remaining In The Top Seventy-Five For Thirty-One Non-Consecutive Weeks. On 9 February 2001 It Was Certified Platinum By The British Phonographic Industry BPI Denoting Shipments In Excess Of 300 000 Units.
