"100 Degrees" is a song recorded by Australian singer-songwriterKylie Minogue, with her sisterDannii Minogue. The track was the second single from Kylie's albumKylie Christmas (2015). It was released on 7 December 2015 byParlophone andWarner Bros. Records. A disco-influenced Christmas song, the track was written by Kylie,Ash Howes,Richard Stannard andSteve Anderson, with Howes, Stannard and Anderson handling production. An alternate version of the song was later released on 1 April 2016,"100 Degrees (Still Disco to Me)", omitting all references to Christmas in its lyrics.
Kylie wrote "100 Degrees" about adapting to a winter Christmas in the UK after being raised in Australia and was inspired byDonna Summer's vintage disco classics. Dannii said: "There's not enough party Christmas songs, everyone has Christmas parties, but what music do you put on? This song is perfect for dancing to."[4][5]
Kylie announced that the song would serve as the second single duringThe X Factor Australia, with her and Dannii performing the song together for the grand finale. The song was also used byTarget Australia for their Christmas commercials. The adverts starred Dannii Minogue, who has a fashion line with Target Australia. "100 Degrees" finished 2016 as the UK's seventeenth biggest selling vinyl of the year.[6]
The music video sees the pair recording the song and having fun in the studio, surrounded by tinsel, with Dannii donning 'Disco Christmas'T-shirt & Kylie donning a 'Kylie Kissmass' T-shirt.[7][8]
Mike Wass fromIdolator said that "100 Degrees" was the album's highlight. Wass said "The siblings inject a whole lot of fabulous into the festive season with disco-tinged anthem" adding, "the duet is every bit as camp as you would expect."[2]
Kylie confirmed that she would perform the track alongside Dannii, on theseason 7 grand final on 24 November 2015. In a statement, Kylie said: "I'll be bringing a little Christmas cheer toThe X Factor stage, I can't wait to come home and perform on the show with Dannii".
