"In My Arms"
Song
B-side"Cherry Bomb"
"Do It Again"
"Carried Away"

"In My Arms" is a dance-pop song performed by Australian singer Kylie Minogue for her tenth studio album, X (2007). The song was written by Minogue, Paul Harris, Julian Peake, Richard Stannard, Adam Wiles and produced by Stannard and Calvin Harris. The song was released as the album's second European single in February 2008. "In My Arms" will be the third UK single from X, released on May 5th, 2008. [1] A demo version of the song leaked online in the spring of 2007. The demo was slightly longer in duration, with more spoken parts appearing during the song, and some minor production differences.

Critical reception

"In My Arms" received mostly positive reviews from pop music critics. Tom Ewing in a review for Pitchfork Media compared the song to French electronic music duo Justice and wrote that Minogue "bounces around the tune with gusto".[2] Prefix Magazine reviewer Bruce Scott described it as "fuzzed-out" and "synth heavy", and wrote that it was "full of the kind of exuberant charm that made a track like "Love at First Sight" a past hit".[3] In a review for All Music Guide, Christopher True was not impressed with "In My Arms" and called the song "cold, calculated dance-pop".[4]

Music video

The music video for "In My Arms" was directed by Melina Matsoukas and filmed in Los Angeles, California along with the video for "Wow".[5] The video features several references to the 1980s style and music. There are five main sequences: the first features Minogue dressed in a crimson and white outfit, made by Gareth Pugh, with futuristic sunglasses; the second has Minogue singing into a microphone, on a blue recording room; the third scene is with a troupe of dancers; the fourth features Minogue in a yellow dress dancing in a pink box; and in the final scene she dances in front of a giant fan wearing a Dolce & Gabbana dress. As the video concludes, the five scenes are intercut and gradually fade.

The music video premiered on the internet on January 29 2008.[6] It premiered on television stations in Europe on January 31 2008.[7]
