Please Stay was released on the 11th December 2000 and was one of the last
singles from Kylie’s comeback album ‘Light Years’. Despite being overshadowed by
the single ‘Your Disco Needs You’, which had been protested for release
worldwide, it still managed to reach #10 on the UK Charts and #15 on the
Australian Charts.
Please Stay is a breezy, summery tune, which, when released came with 2 b-side
tracks; ‘Good Life’ and ‘Santa Baby’, the latter being released as a promo to UK
radio stations to aid sales of the single during the Christmas period.
The music video was shot by James Frost and Alex Smith and features Kylie in a
variety of different scenes from her in a car to her lying awake on a bed before
proceeding to dance to the chorus. It also features Kylie sliding down a fireman’s
pole and dancing on a pool table
12 Years on from the release and Please Stay is still popular amongst many fans.
With 9 official remixes, various fan mixes and a spate of live performances the song
has undergone numerous changes but has stood the test of time.
