“Spinning Around” is a song recorded by Kylie Minogue for her seventh studio album Light Years. It was written by Ira Shickman, Osborne Bingham, Kara DioGuardi and Paula Abdul. The song was initially meant to be recorded by Abdul for her own album, but was given to Minogue after the plan never came to fruition. The disco-influenced dance-pop song was released as the lead single from Light Years on 13 June 2000, through Parlophone. It became Minogue’s first chart-topper since ‘Confide in Me’ in 1994.

The hotpants are considered to be ‘iconic’ and have been displayed in exhibitions of the singer’s fashion. In an interview discussing the development of Light Years, Minogue revealed that the song had initially been found as a demo in New York by her A&R executive Jamie Nelson, who believed it would be ‘perfect’ for the singer.

Similar to most of her other songs from the album, it is a’string-laden’ dance track with prominent influences from disco.
