100 Degrees
A disco-tinged Christmas duet by the Minogue sisters.
Last updated
"100 Degrees" is a disco-influenced Christmas song recorded by Australian singer-songwriter Kylie Minogue with her sister Dannii Minogue. Released as the second single from Kylie's album Kylie Christmas on 7 December 2015 by Parlophone and Warner Bros. Records, it was written by Kylie, Ash Howes, Richard Stannard and Steve Anderson, who also handled production. The song was inspired by Kylie's adaptation to a winter Christmas in the UK after being raised in Australia and by Donna Summer's vintage disco classics.
Live performances
Kylie confirmed she would perform the track alongside Dannii on the season 7 grand final on 24 November 2015. Kylie stated she would bring Christmas cheer to The X Factor stage and looked forward to performing with Dannii. The performance was their first together since their live performance of "Kids" on her Showgirl: The Homecoming Tour in 2006, and their first televised performance together since "Sisters Are Doin' It for Themselves" on Young Talent Time in 1986.
