Kylie`- In Your Eyes Golden Tour

"Can't Get You Out of My Head" is a midtempo dance song,[13] combining synth-pop and neo-disco,[14][15][16] which has a tempo of 126 beats per minute.[13][17] According to the sheet music published at Musicnotes.com by EMI Music Publishing, Minogue's vocal range spans from C4 to D5.[17] Minogue chants a "la la la" hook in the song, which is often heralded as its most appealing part.[18] BBC Radio 2 noted that the composition of the song is "deceptively simple, but its veins run with the whole history of electronic music."[19] They described the song's bassline as "pulsing," and recognised influences of English rock band New Order and German electronic music band Kraftwerk.[19] The song does not follow the common verse-chorus structure and is instead composed of numerous "misplaced sections."[8] Dennis reasoned that these sections "somehow work together" as she and Davis "didn't try to force any structure after the event. The seeds were watered and they very quickly sprouted into something bigger than any of us."[8] Likewise, Davis commented: "It breaks a few rules as it starts with a chorus and in comes the 'la's'– that is what confused my publisher [Fuller] when he first heard it."[8]

Through the lyrics of the song, its singer expresses an obsession with an anonymous figure. Dorian Lynskey from The Guardian termed the song a "mystery" as Minogue never reveals the identity of her object of infatuation.[18] The critic suggested that the person Minogue is referring to is either "a partner, an evasive one-night stand or someone who doesn't know she exists."[18] Writing for the same newspaper, Everett True identified a "darker element" in the simple lyrics and felt this sentiment was echoed in Minogue's restrained vocals.[20] Further, True emphasised that while Minogue's 1987 single "I Should Be So Lucky" had presented an optimistic romantic future, "Can't Get You Out of My Head" focuses on an "unhealthy" and potentially destructive obsession.[20] He also noted that in the former song, Minogue played "the wide-eyed ingénue with alacrity," but in the latter song she is aware of the harmful nature of her infatuation, calling it a "desire that is wholly dependent on her own self-control."[20]

In late 2012, "Can't Get You Out of My Head" was re-recorded by Minogue for inclusion in her orchestral compilation album, The Abbey Road Sessions.[21] On the album, Minogue reworked 16 of her past songs with an orchestra, which, according to Nick Levine from BBC Music, "re-imagine them without the disco glitz and vocal effects."[22] The Abbey Road Sessions-version of "Can't Get You Out of My Head" features a "more dramatic, fully fleshed out" musical arrangement, and follows a pizzicato playing technique, in which the strings of a string instrument are continuously plucked
