Excerpt: "I Should Be So Lucky" is a pop-dance song performed by Australian singer Kylie Minogue. The song was written and produced by Stock Aitken Waterman for Minogue's debut album Kylie (1988). The song was released as the album's second single in December 1987. It was a commercial success, reaching the top ten on the majority of the charts it entered, and number one in the United Kingdom and Australia. The song is featured on her compilations albums Greatest Hits (1992), Greatest Hits 1987-1999 (2003), Greatest Hits 87-97 (2003) and Ultimate Kylie (2004). After the success of her debut single "Locomotion" in Australia, Minogue traveled to London to work with Stock, Aitken and Waterman, a successful British writing and production team. They knew little of Minogue and had forgotten that she was arriving; as a result, they wrote "I Should Be So Lucky" in forty minutes while she waited outside the recording studio. Mike Stock wrote the lyrics for the song in response to what he had learned about Minogue prior to her arrival. He believed that although she was a successful soap star in Australia and very talented, there must be something wrong with her and figured that she must be unlucky in love. Minogue recorded the song in less than an hour, which Stock attributes to her good ear for music and her quick memorization skills. After Minogue finished the recording session she returned home to Australia to continue work on the soap opera, Neighbours. "I Should Be So Lucky" is a dance-pop song with instrumentation from keyboards and guitars. It is set in common time, and moves at a moderate tempo of 120 beats per minute. The song is written in the key of C major, an unusual choice for a pop song. Minogue's vocal range spans from D4 to C5, "I Should Be So Lucky" garnered positive reviews. Nick Levine, from Digital Spy, called it "standout track". The song won the Highest Selling Single award at the 3rd annual ARIA Awards. "I Should Be So Lucky" was released on...
