About Shocked

"Shocked" is a song recorded by Australian singer Kylie Minogue for her third studio album Rhythm of Love (1990). Written and produced by Stock Aitken and Waterman, "Shocked" was released as the album's fourth and final single on May 1991. The song later appeared on most of Minogue's major compilations including Greatest Hits (1992), Ultimate Kylie (2004) and Step Back In Time: The Definitive Collection (2019). The DNA 7" Mix of the song also includes a rap in the bridge by Jazzy P. Lyrically, the song canvasses confusion and understanding of love and relationships. The song has been compared by critics to her previous single "What Do I Have to Do". "Shocked" received mostly positive reviews from critics, with many praising its catchiness. Commercially, the song was successful, peaking in the top ten in her native Australia, the United Kingdom, and several other countries. An accompanying music video was filmed for the single, shot in London. The video features Minogue entering a mansion-style home, where she is seduced by a mysterious man. The song has been noted to have a close similarity to Minogue's previous single's video "What Do I Have to Do", which featured a similar man in a similar atmosphere. The song has been noted as one of Minogue's best singles to date, despite limited success outside her native Australia and the United Kingdom. more »

Tell me I'm only dreaming and I'll believe you
Can't see how this could be true
Surrounded by feelings I hardly recognise
I look for explanations I'm taken by surprise
If you told me yesterday that I could feel this way
I would sure enough call you a liar to your face

[Chorus]
Because I'm shocked by the power
(Shocked) ooh
Shocked by the power of love
I was rocked to my very foundations
Shocked by the power, shocked by the power

Maybe this time tomorrow
I'll discover this ain't really real
'cause it struck me like lightning
Like a bolt out of the blue
Emotions inside me, all over you
I'm high above the Universe, losing track of time
And falling free
I can't believe that you are really mine

[Chorus]

Shocked, like the lightning from up above
Down from the heavens and it gave me love
From a man who respects me
Loves my mind as well as my body
No retreat and no surrender
Equal to you regardless of gender
Giving me love that is warm and tender
That's why I gotta tell ya

You and I are of the same mind
It seems to me that we're one of a kind
It's true to say that when love is blind
But then true love is so hard to find
You respect me and the things I do
It was meant to be
I was made for you
Open the door to my heart, it's stopped
And I'm shocked....

[Chorus]

Surrounded by feelings I hardly recognise,
I look for explanations I'm taken by surprise.
'Cause it struck me like lightning,
Like a bolt out of the blue,
Emotions inside me, all over you.

[Chorus until fade]
