(2002)"In Your Eyes" is a pop–dance song performed by Australian singer Kylie Minogue and written by Minogue, Richard Stannard, Julian Gallagher and Ash Howes. It was produced by Stannard and Gallagher, and received an overall good reception from music critics when it was released as the second single from Minogue’s eighth album, "Fever", in the first quarter of 2002.

The single peaked at number one in Australia, her second consecutive number one. In the United Kingdom, "In Your Eyes" debuted and peaked at #3, selling over 200,000 copies, and being certified Silver. It also became a dance club hit in the UK, peaking at number seven on the Club Chart. "In Your Eyes" won the Best Dance Award at the MTV Europe Music Awards in 2002.

Music video

"In Your Eyes" featured a music video that was directed by Dawn Shadforth. The video features Minogue in a studio filled with colourful neon lights. There are two sequences; the first features Minogue and a group of dancers in front of a colourful background, the second is simply Minogue spinning before a background of flashing lights. Throughout the video, the two scenes are intercut and gradually fade.

The video featured an extension of the futuristic theme first introduced in the music video for "Can't Get You out of My Head" the previous year. Minogue and her artistic director William Baker had become interested in the street interpretation of robotic, jerky movements and included this is the video. The costumes also represent this interest and were described by Baker as being a mix of "hip hop chic with sci-fi lunacy". ["La La La", William Baker and Kylie Minogue, Hodder and Stoughton, 2002. ISBN 0-340-73440-X. Paperback version.]

Released to music video channels prior to the single's commercial release, the video was a hit, charting at number one on MTV's Hit List UK and at number four on MTV Europe's top twenty countdown.
