Musically, the album features bubblegum pop, dance-pop, and disco influences, with themes primarily revolving around romantic relationships.

Following the success of her debut album, Minogue collaborated again with producers Stock Aitken Waterman, who wrote and produced nine of the album's ten tracks during recording sessions in London.
