"All the Lovers" is a song recorded by Australian recording artist Kylie Minogue for her eleventh studio album, Aphrodite (2010). Parlophone released it on 11 June 2010 as the lead single from the album. The song was written and produced by Jim Eliot alongside Mima Stilwell; Stuart Price provided additional production. Musically, "All the Lovers" is an electropop-influenced disco and synth-pop track. The lyrics of the song serve as an invitation to the dance floor and an assertion that Minogue's past relationships do not "compare" to the one she shares with her present lover.
"All the Lovers" received critical acclaim and was commended for its chorus and production. Many critics found it similar to Minogue's 2004 single "I Believe in You". "All the Lovers" peaked at number 13 on the Australian Singles Chart. In Europe, it reached the top ten in numerous countries, including Austria, Belgium, France, Italy, Spain, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom. It has also topped the Dance Club Songs chart in the United States. The song was certified gold in Australia, Italy, and the United Kingdom.
The music video for "All the Lovers" was filmed in Downtown Los Angeles by Joseph Kahn and features Minogue singing the song from atop a pyramid of underwear-clad couples. Critical reception towards the video was favourable, with many critics enjoying its concept and imagery. The music video was banned in several Asian countries due to its sexual nature. Minogue performed the song on various television shows, such as Germany's Next Topmodel and Alan Carr: Chatty Man. In 2012, Minogue re-recorded the song for inclusion on her orchestral compilation album, The Abbey Road Sessions.
