Kids (Robbie Williams and Kylie Minogue song)
"Kids" is a duet by singers Robbie Williams and Kylie Minogue, released as the second single from "Sing When You're Winning", Williams' third studio album, and the third single from "Light Years", Minogue's seventh studio album. Williams and his then songwriting partner Guy Chambers co-wrote the song for Minogue. The track was written when Minogue approached Williams to write her some songs for what would be her first album under Parlophone, "Light Years". It was then that Williams felt the chemistry and decided to turn the song into a duet  as well as include the track on his album and release it as a single. It was released on 9 October 2000 and reached number two in the United Kingdom while becoming a top-10 hit in five other countries. The music video for the song contains several references to the musical film Grease, particularly in the choreography between Williams and Minogue. Chart performance. The song became a hit in the United Kingdom, reaching number two and selling over 200,000 copies to earn a silver certification from the BPI. The track also entered the top 10 in Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, New  Zealand, and Portugal, and it peaked at number 14 in Minogue's native Australia, where "Kids" is certified gold for shipments of over the 35,000 copies. The lyrics, although penned by Robbie Williams and Guy Chambers, make numerous references to the careers of both Minogue and Williams. Minogue's lyric "I've been dropping beats since "Back in Black"" is a self-deprecating reference to her 1980s pop image when she was known as the singing budgie from Australia—"Back in Black" being a 1980s album by Australian band AC/DC and of a stark contrast to her own style at  the time. Later, in 2010, this song is used as the theme song of "Junior Masterchef Australia". Live performances. Williams and Minogue have only performed the song together on a few occasions.
