[edit] Song information

The song was released as the fifth single in the beginning of 2001 (see 2001 in music) in select territories and was a top twenty hit in Australia, peaking at number twenty.

The release of the song outside the UK angered many of Minogue's fans and sparked protests outside her UK record company from fans lobbying for its release. When considering the fourth single to be released from Light Years, Minogue's record label chose the Latin sounding "Please Stay" instead of the fan favourite "Your Disco Needs You", due to the song's campness and to avoid Minogue being further stereotyped. Despite this, it still receives regular airplay on BBC Radio 2.

Although the song did not have the same chart performance as many of Minogue's previous and later singles, it became a classic performance piece and also a club hit in Europe including the United Kingdom and Eastern/Baltic European states.

The original album version contains four lines spoken in French. During the same session, Minogue recorded versions with these lines in other languages including German, Spanish, and Japanese.

French verse: Vous êtes jamais seuls / Vous savez ce qu'il faut faire / Ne laissez pas tomber votre nation / La disco a besoin de vous!

Translation: You're not alone / You know what you must do / Don't let your country down / Your disco needs you!
