Kylie – Your Disco Needs You

“Your Disco Needs You” is a Disco song written by Australian singer Kylie Minogue, Guy Chambers and Robbie Williams for Minogue’s seventh album Light Years (2000). It was produced by Chambers and Steve Power.

The song was released as the fifth single in the beginning of 2001, in select territories and was a top twenty hit in Australia, peaking at number twenty.
The release of the song outside the UK angered many of Minogue’s fans and sparked protests outside her UK record company from fans lobbying for its release. When considering the fourth single to be released from Light Years, Minogue’s record label chose the Latin sounding “Please Stay” instead of the fan favourite “Your Disco Needs You”, due to the song’s campness and to avoid Minogue being further stereotyped.
Although the song did not have the same chart performance as many of Minogue’s previous and later singles, it became a classic performance piece and also a club hit in Europe including the United Kingdom and Eastern/Baltic European states.
In March 2008, SameSame.com.au listed the song at number five in “The 50 Gayest Songs Of All Time”.
