"Come into My World" is a song recorded by Australian singer Kylie Minogue for her eighth studio album Fever (2001). Written and produced by Cathy Dennis and Rob Davis, it is a dance-pop song in which the singer pleads to her lover to come into her "world". "Come into My World" was released as the fourth and final single from Fever on 21 October 2002, by Festival Mushroom, Parlophone and Capitol Records.

Critical reception towards "Come into My World" was positive; the majority of the critics commended the song's composition and commercial appeal. In Australia, the single peaked at number four on the ARIA Charts. It found moderate success in the United Kingdom, where it debuted and peaked at number eight on the UK Singles Chart. The single also charted within the top 20 in Belgium, Hungary, Italy, Romania, Canada and New Zealand, and peaked at number 91 on the US Billboard Hot 100.

The accompanying music video for "Come into My World", directed by Michel Gondry, features duplicated Kylies walking in Paris alongside local townspeople. The video received positive reviews, with critics praising the idea. "Come into My World" was first performed on her KylieFever2002 tour, and has featured on all her tours up until the Aphrodite: Les Folies Tour in 2011. The song was later honoured with a Grammy Award for Best Dance Recording during the 2004 ceremony, becoming Minogue's first Grammy.

Background and composition

Template:Listen Following the global success of her eighth studio album Fever (2001), and the album's subsequent singles; "Can't Get You Out of My Head", "In Your Eyes", and "Love at First Sight", Minogue's label Parlophone decided to release a fourth single worldwide.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref><ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref><ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> Minogue enlisted several producers including Rob Davis and Cathy Dennis, both whom work with Minogue previously; the duo wrote and produced "Come into My World".<ref>Template:Cite AV media notes</ref> According to Minogue's official website, "Come into My World" was a last minute addition to the album.<ref name="comeinto">{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>

The maxi CD editions of the single contain remixes of the song, live recordings of "Love at First Sight", and album track "Fever". The CD single was also accompanied by a DVD single.<ref name="ausdvd">Template:Cite AV media notes</ref> The single version, which features additional vocals and production, has subsequently been used on both physical and digital reissues of the Fever album.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>

NME wrote that "Come into My World" was derivative of the song "Can't Get You Out of My Head" from the same album.<ref name=albumreviewnme>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> According to Jason Thompson at PopMatters, the song describes Minogue's "plea for love" as Minogue invites her partner into her life.<ref name=albumreviewpopmatters>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>

Artwork

The artwork for "Come into My World" was photographed by Nick Knight, who also photographed the single artworks for "Love at First Sight".<ref name="ausdvd"/><ref>Template:Cite AV media notes</ref><ref>Template:Cite AV media notes</ref> During 2002, Minogue launched her Love Kylie lingerie collection, and enlisted Knight to photograph Minogue to promote it; out takes were later re-used for the artwork of "Love at First Sight".<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> Knight was requested by Minogue to shoot the artwork for the "Come into My World" cover sleeve, which features Minogue holding a bouquet of flowers; different coloured lights are projecting against Minogue's skin, similar to the work of her 1997 album, Impossible Princess.<ref name="ausdvd"/><ref>Template:Cite AV media notes</ref> The second CD features a different pose in the same set, and the DVD artwork features a close-up of the first CD.<ref name="ausdvd"/> Minogue's creative collaborator, and close friend, William Baker, commented about the photo shoot; "Kylie possesses that indefinable star quality and charisma that is so often lacking in many of her contemporaries." A high-quality out-take of the single was included into Minogue's 2012 coffee table book, Kylie / Fashion.<ref name="kyliefashion">Template:Cite book</ref>

Critical reception

Chris True from AllMusic highlighted "Come into My World" as an album stand out from Fever, and a career stand out track.<ref name=albumreviewallmusic>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref><ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> Jon O'Brien from the same publication reviewed Minogue's 2011 box set, The Albums 2000–2010 compilation that featured "Come into My World", and discussed the Fever period by saying "Full of Gaelic guitar licks, filtered house synths, and slinky electro beats, 2001 follow-up Fever has aged much better, but while the superbly hypnotic "Can't Get You Out of My Head" is inarguably her career's best single, the album is far from a one-trick-pony, with the euphoric Stardust-inspired "Love at First Sight," and the chilled-out dream pop of "Come into My World" also highlighting just how deadly a weapon Minogue's seductive purr is."<ref>Template:Cite news</ref> Scott Harrah from Stagezine commended the singles from Fever and their commercial appeal, stating that the first four singles (including "Come into My World") "were irresistible dance-pop that made America fall in love with Kylie all over again."<ref name="stage">Template:Cite news</ref>

Minogue re-recorded "Come into My World" in an orchestral arrangement for her 2012 compilation, The Abbey Road Sessions; this version received favourable reviews from music critics. Annie Zaleski from The A.V. Club said "Come into My World" sounds like early Tori Amos, courtesy of a coquettish delivery and classical-inspired piano..."<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> Marc Hirsh from The Boston Globe said "On the other hand, the original was shiver-inducing straight through, and 'dediscofying' such mighty (overseas) hits as 'I Believe in You' and 'Come into My World' into cocktail folk or Shirley Bassey nightclub soul turns them into trifles. It turns out, those songs really want to dance."<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> A reviewer from samesame.com.au said "As great as the original was, it's listening to the version here, much like hearing all of the songs included on The Abbey Road Sessions, that makes you realise what is perhaps the single greatest achievement of this project – namely, that it has given Minogue what she's needed all along in order to prove her detractors wrong: the space in which to relax, to breathe, and to simply sing."<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>

Accolades

At the 2003 ARIA Music Awards, "Come into My World" was nominated for Best Pop Release, and represented Minogue for the Best Female Artist award; she lost both awards to Delta Goodrem's debut album Innocent Eyes as well as her single Born to Try released in 2002, respectively.<ref name=ARIA2003>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> That same year, Minogue won the Best Music Video for "Come into My World" at the UK CADS Awards.<ref>[img2.tapuz.co.il/forums/64882329.doc Kylie's single Come into My World wins best pop video at the U.K. CADS awards].

The video was directed by French director Michel Gondry and updated a concept he had already used for Neneh Cherry's "Feel It" music video.<ref name="ausdvd"/> The video was shot in one on 8 September 2002 at the intersection of Rue du Point du Jour and Rue de Solférino, within the Boulogne-Billancourt suburb of Paris. Fifty extras were on hand, including Russian actor Sacha Bourdo.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> The video, which took fifteen days to design and digitally master,<ref name="ausdvd"/> features Minogue strolling around the intersection. Every time she completes a full circle, a duplicate of her appears from the Dry Cleaners, and by the end of the video there are four distinct Minogue duplicates amidst an extremely chaotic scene with each background extra also depicted four times.
