"My Oh My" is a song by Kylie Minogue, along with Bebe Rexha and Tove Lo. It was released on 11 July 2024 through streaming platforms, and further distributed a day later on physical and digital outlets. The song was written by Ina Wroldsen and Tove, with Steve Mac co-writing and producing.
"My Oh My" marks Kylie's third consecutive collaborative work, following "Midnight Ride" with Orville Peck and Diplo and "Dance Alone" with Sia, as well as her second collaboration with Tove and first with Bebe. Musically, it is a dance-pop track with elements of club music. Lyrically, it discusses flirtation, with each singer using their astrological sign throughout the lyrics to introduce themselves in a playful manner to a potential lover.
Music critics praised the song's dance-oriented sound, catchiness, and collaborative efforts of both Bebe and Tove. Some reviewers drew comparisons to Kylie's previous single "Can't Get You Out of My Head" (2001). A music visualizer was published on Kylie's YouTube channel a day before its digital release.
Background and release[]
On 22 September 2023, Kylie released her sixteenth studio album, Tension. It debuted to critical and commercial success, and featured her singles "Padam Padam", "Tension" and "Hold On to Now", the first of the three being a sleeper hit. To promote the album, she made several live appearances before beginning her More Than Just a Residency at the Voltaire in Las Vegas on 3 November that year. Variety confirmed in January 2024 that Kylie would repackage Tension with additional material, and Kylie hinted at working on new music at the 66th Annual Grammy Awards in February.
On 8 July, she announced new material on social media with a pre-save link titled "MOM". Later, she and singers Bebe Rexha and Tove Lo shared separate social media posts with similar descriptions of one another. On 11 July, Kylie announced the single "My Oh My" (originally abbreviated as "MOM") on social media, and was first released that day on streaming platforms. It was first available on streaming platforms on 11 July, and then on digital platforms the next day. It premiered on The Zoe Ball Breakfast Show on BBC Radio 2, and further appeared on the BBC Radio Shropshire that same day. On 12 July, three physical versions of the single were made available: a CD single, a cassette tape, and a 7-inch vinyl record, all of which included an extended version of the track. The vinyl was distributed on 9 August 2024.

Lyrics[]
La-la-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la
Yesterday was just a day
I didn't know my life was gonna change
Yesterday, light years away
You came in here now nothing is the same
When you asked, "What's your name?"
"What's your sign?"
I'm Kylie, it's Gemini
What's your drink? Let me buy
You had me when you said, "Hi"
Hi
La-la-la-la
I'm like, "Oh, my, oh, my"
La-la-la-la
You keep me up at night
La-la-la-la
I'm feelin' fireflies
La-la-la-la
Oh, my, oh, my
Oh, my, oh, my
Oh, my, oh, my
Rush of hands, lingering looks (Ah)
My name in your mouth, that was all it took
Now yesterday's light years away
You came in here, now there's no going back
When you asked, "What's your name?"
"Let me know"
I'm Bebe, I'm a Virgo
What's your drink? Let me buy
You had me when you said, "Hi"
Hi
La-la-la-la
I'm like, "Oh, my, oh, my"
La-la-la-la
You keep me up at night
La-la-la-la
I'm feelin' fireflies
La-la-la-la-la
Oh, my, oh, my
Oh, my, oh, my
Always love a dark room
With somebody to talk to
But never ever met someone like you
Hey, hello
I am Tove , Tove Lo (Uh-uh)
I'm a, I'm a Scorpio
Yeah, the sexy jealous kind
You had me when you said, "Hi"
Hi
La-la-la-la
I'm like, "Oh, my, oh, my"
La-la-la-la
You keep me up at night
La-la-la-la
I'm feelin' fireflies
La-la-la-la-la
Oh, my, oh, my
La-la-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la (Oh, my, oh, my)
La-la-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la (You keep me up at night)
La-la-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la (Ooh, oh, my, oh, my)
Oh, my, oh, my
