Step Back In Time, is truly of the best Kylie singles for me.
There is a clip of the song in White Diamond, also Kylie talked about it.
At no point in White Diamond did they say "and this was supposed to be a double A-side with "Come into My World"".
Are there different versions of it on the various Fever variants then? I didn’t know that.
he/him
Early pressings have the 4:30 version, then once it became a single it's the 4:05 version on later pressings.
Interestingly, some releases from the 2010s have the 4:30 length according to Discogs.
I don't think he meant Kylie talked about it on White Diamond.

Going back to my original point - I never implied the song didn't exist, just that it was the press who reported it was going to be a double A-side. Nobody from Kylie's team confirmed any of this was ever a thing.
And therefore, it's an example of a song title becoming known about and the press making a story out of it.
Oh wow I didn’t know. Mine is the 4:05 version. Sad face.
"I don't think Madonna has ever given a song to another artist," Kylie.
I don't think we can just blame the press as this is a direct Kylie quote. Sounds like Kylie's team started talking about this song, it didn't pan out in 2002 for whatever reason but it was used in 2007.
Didn't White Diamond have excertps of other unreleased songs as well? I don't remember which ones, maybe Lose Control?
Wikipedia page for the documentary has a list of all the songs used, loads of them unreleased. It seemed to be a lot of jazz-standard type songs. As a collection it would have made a great little digital release.
And the story was thus "it's a double A-side on the next single release". It was the press who said that, not Kylie, Madonna, or either of their teams. I'm not disputing that Madonna giving Kylie a song isn't newsworthy, I just have never been convinced that the reporting of it was not embellished.
The music video is very cool conceptually and well executed but I kind of would prefer something more glitzy for that particular song.
Not that I recall, no?
However, Cathy is very evident on the remix (which Kylie performed once or twice).
The mix used on KYLIEX2008 too.
I mean, let's be fair, Cathy is pretty evident on Toxic and Sweet Dreams My LA Ex too. I guess if her vocals blend well with the singers then why not keep them there, right?
It was going to be released on the single, who cares If it wasn’t an a side? The Sun talked about the song, a song by Madonna that was actually recorded by Kylie. So the news was real.
