"In My Arms" is a song recorded by Australian singer Kylie Minogue for her tenth studio album, X (2007). The track was written by Minogue, Paul Harris, Julian Peake and its producers Calvin Harris and Richard "Biff" Stannard. The song was released as the worldwide second single from the album on 15 February 2008, while it served as the third single in the United Kingdom, Australia and New Zealand. The song was introduced by Minogue while she was recording in a studio in Brighton.
"In My Arms" is a synth-pop inspired song, which features elements of retro and dance music. The song received generally favourable reviews from music critics, with some praising the lyrics and deeming it as one of the best tracks on the album. However, some reviewers were critical towards the production of the song. Commercially, "In My Arms" was generally successful, peaking inside the top ten in countries including Romania, Belgium, France, Switzerland, Germany and the United Kingdom. However, the song experienced lower success in her native Australia, where it peaked at thirty-five, becoming her lowest charting single since "Cowboy Style" (1998).
The music video for "In My Arms" was directed by Melina Matsoukas and filmed in Los Angeles, California, along with the video for "Wow". Minogue has performed the song on five of her concert tours, most recently during her Kylie Summer 2015 tour.
