Singles
"Spinning Around" was released in June 2000 as the album's lead single. It marked Minogue's return to mainstream pop music, debuting at number one in Australia and the UK. The video saw Minogue dancing in a packed nightclub and started the tabloids' obsession with her. "On a Night Like This" was then released in September 2000 as the second single and debuted at number one on the Australian and at number two in the UK. The single's release coincided with Minogue's performance at the 2000 Summer Olympics where she performed the song. The following week, having already dropped from the top spot, the song returned to number one in Australia.
In October 2000, "Kids", the duet with Robbie Williams, was released as the third single and the second from his fourth studio album, Sing When You're Winning. The song, written by Williams and Guy Chambers, reached number two in the UK and number five in Australia. A different version of the song with a spoken fadeout rap by Williams appeared on his album. "Please Stay" was released as the fourth single from Light Years in December 2000 reaching number ten in the UK and number fifteen in Australia. The single's B-side "Santa Baby" was released to UK radio as a promo single during the Christmas period. Minogue performed "Please Stay" on the British music show Top of the Pops.
"Your Disco Needs You", written by Williams and Chambers was released by EMI Germany as a single in January 2001, charting at number thirty-one. The song was also released in Australia as a limited edition single release with only 10,000 copies pressed. This enabled it to chart at number twenty, before dropping to number forty-five and eventually falling out of the chart completely. "Butterfly" was issued as a club-only track in the US where it was a hit on the Billboard Hot Dance Club Play chart. The song also appeared as a bonus track on the US edition of Minogue's subsequent studio album Fever.
