Turn It into Love

"Turn It into Love"
Song
B-side	"Made in Heaven"

"Turn It into Love" is a single released by Australian singer Kylie Minogue. It was taken from her debut album Kylie. The single was released in December 1988 in Japan only, where it reached number 1. The b-side was a new song "Made in Heaven" which also served as the b-side to both "Je Ne Sais Pas Pourquoi" and "It's No Secret" in other international territories.

"Turn It into Love" was the sixth single to be released from the album Kylie and was written and produced by Stock Aitken Waterman. Considered something of a hidden gem, Kylie performed the song (as part of medleys) during her On A Night Like This Tour and Showgirl Homecoming shows in the 2000s, as well the Mushroom Records 25th birthday concert in Melbourne, Australia in 1998.

Also a favourite track among Stock Aitken Waterman enthusiasts, the song also featured on the 2005 UK compilation album Stock Aitken Waterman Gold, one of just two tracks included that were not released as a single in the UK.

Hazell Dean version

"Turn It into Love"
Song

In September 1988, just prior to Kylie's "Turn It into Love" being released in Japan, British Hi-NRG singer Hazell Dean released her version which was also produced by Stock Aitken Waterman, however, the arrangement was noticeably different from that of Kylie's original. Hazell Dean liked the song and allegedly asked Pete Waterman to let her record "Turn It into Love" having heard it on Kylie's debut album, Kylie. Waterman liked the result so much, he decided to release it as the lead into the release of Dean's second Stock Aitken Waterman-produced album Always in October 1988. Dean's version of "Turn It into Love" went on to peak at number 21 in the UK singles chart the same month.
