"On a Night Like This" is a song by Australian recording artist and songwriter Kylie Minogue, taken from her seventh studio album Light Years (2000). The song was released as a CD Single on 25 September 2000, and was released digitally after the physical release date. With the success of "Spinning Around", "On a Night Like This" served as the second single on the album.
The song was given a mixed to positive reception by music critics, with some saying it is a dreamy and elegant song. However, others commented that the song's power and strength was "not at Minogue's best". The song became a success in some parts of the world.

Then she performed the song on her successful tour KylieX2008 and her Aphrodite World Tour.
