Background and release[]
On March 6 2023, one of the song's writers, Sarah Hudson posted about a list of artists on her "dream gag fantasy bucket list". With rumours of Kylie's upcoming album, fans quickly began speculating that she was the featured artist. On March 26, Heldens posted on Instagram, in a similar iPhone notes style, a list of five female artists, stating he had an upcoming collaboration with one of them. This fuelled fan speculation even more.

On the same day, both Minogue and Heldens announced the single on their social media, posting a twenty-four second teaser of the song's pre-chorus and chorus. On 1 April, Heldens premiered an extended version of the song on Heldeep Radio.
Though not serving as the lead single for Tension, "10 Out Of 10" was featured on the album as the 10th track.

Know I'm gonna give you ten out of ten
Know I'm gonna love you, love you to death
Baby, all night, again and again
Yeah
You know I'm gonna give you ten out of ten
That'll give you something you can't forget
Baby, all night, again and again, yeah
Ten out of ten (Woo)

Body, ten
Touch, ten (ooh, ooh)
Energy, ten
Ten out of ten
You're messin' with a dime, top of the line
Look so good, should be a crime
Runnin' your mind all day and all night
Wanna kiss me but the sun don't shine
Wow, wanna devour
Me boy, I might get wet, bring a towel
After we're done, let's hop in the shower
Countin' the seconds, minutes and hours
You got my full attention
Spend it all on ya, yeah
I don't do halfway loves
Not once my mind's made up
Know I'm gonna give you ten out of ten
Know I'm gonna love you, love you to death
Baby, all night, again and again

I could love you perfectly
Come fulfil your fantasy
Make your dream reality
Show you every part of me
One hundred percent
I ain't on the fence, never been
Be your medicine
Come and get your fix, oh yeah
You got my full attention
Spend it all on ya, yeah
I don't do halfway loves
Not once my mind's made up
Know I'm gonna give you ten out of ten
Know I'm gonna love you, love you to death
Baby, all night, again and again
Yeah
