"I Should Be So Lucky" is a pop–dance song performed by Australian singer Kylie Minogue. The song was written and produced by Stock, Aitken and Waterman for Minogue's debut album Kylie (1988). The song's melody was inspired by Pachelbel's Canon and its lyrics discuss how Minogue must be unlucky in love.

The song was released as the album's second single in December 1987. It was a commercial success, reaching the top ten on the majority of the charts it entered, and number one in Australia and the United Kingdom. The song became the highest selling single in Australia in 1989 and was named "Record of the Year" by the Japanese Phonographic Record Association. (more...)
