Word Is Out

"Word Is Out" is a song by Australian singer and songwriter Kylie Minogue, recorded for her fourth studio album Let's Get to It (1991). Written and produced by English production team Mike Stock and Pete Waterman, without Matt Aitken whom had left the SAW team by then, it was released as the lead single to the record on 26 August 1991. A departure from her previous music, the track aimed to replicate the swing beat sound, with "New York City" by American R&B group Guy serving as the main plot track. The artwork for the cover was photographed by Ellen Von Unwerth in 1991 for the British edition of Esquire.

The track did receive favorable reviews from music critics and has gone on to be named one of Minogue's most underrated singles. In the United Kingdom, the track broke her streak of top-10 hits when it debuted at number 16 on the singles chart there. The track did however crack the top ten in Minogue's native Australia and Ireland but had no success in mainland Europe.
