"Love at First Sight" is a song by Australian singer Kylie Minogue from her eighth studio album, Fever (2001). It was released as the third single (second in North America) from Fever on 3 June 2002. The song, which was written by Minogue, Richard Stannard, Julian Gallagher, Ash Howes and Martin Harrington, is unrelated to the song of the same name from Minogue's debut studio album, Kylie (1988). Musically, "Love at First Sight" is a dance-pop and nu-disco song which, lyrically, describes the singer falling and believing in love at first sight.
"Love at First Sight" received generally positive reviews from music critics; majority of the critics commended the song's commercial appeal and composition. Minor criticism was towards the production similarities of Minogue's previous singles from Fever. The single was a commercial success around the world. In her native Australia, it peaked at number three on the ARIA Singles Chart, and in the United Kingdom, it debuted and peaked at number two on the UK Singles Chart. It also charted within the top-ten in countries including Canada, Denmark, Ireland, Spain and New Zealand. In the United States, "Love at First Sight" peaked at number 23 on the Billboard Hot 100 and number one on the Dance Club Songs chart.
The accompanying music video for "Love at First Sight" was directed by Johan Renck, and features Minogue and her backup dancers in a futuristic maze, all shot in single take motion. The song was first performed on her KylieFever2002 tour and has been featured on all her tours with the exception of the Anti Tour. "Love at First Sight" received a Grammy Award nomination for Best Dance Recording during the 45th Annual Grammy Awards, becoming Minogue's first Grammy nomination.
