Music video
An accompanying music video was directed by Kier McFarlane, and its plot was inspired by 1968 film Barbarella. According to Minogue, she had been a "massive" fan of the film, and wanted to pay tribute to the film's lead actress Jane Fonda, who played the titular character.[7] The video was shot in two days, where Kylie Minogue had been stripped with harnesses and wires; the majority of the shooting included wires pulling off her clothes during those particular sequences.[4] The singer commented in her 2002 book Kylie: La La La that it was one of her "most painful shoots", and complained that she felt "rigged" into all sorts of "contraptions".[16] Minogue further complained about the 19 hours spent on both filming days, and revealed she cried during some of the shooting; she jokingly concluded in the book that she would never do another visual that required harnesses and water.[16] Minogue's characteristics in the video were loosely inspired by the titular character of Barbarella, for which a large staff that helped with styling, hair styling and make-up was required.[16]
The video opens with a spacecraft travelling through space.
The music video garnered positive critiques from critics and music publications. Julie Aspinall complimented Minogue's sexual appeal in the clip, and believed that the song itself was overshadowed by its visual presentation.
