"Supernova" is a song by Australian singer Kylie Minogue. It appears as the fifth track on Minogue's fifteenth studio album, Disco (2020). The song was co-written by Minogue, Maegan Cottone and its producer Sky Adams, and was inspired by celestial imagery and intergalactic themes, in contrast to the parent album's traditional and contemporary disco sound. Musically, it is a 1970s disco-inspired track that is sonically similar to Minogue's previous albums Light Years (2000) and Fever (2001), as well as other music acts. An extended version of the song was included on the remix album Disco: Extended Mixes (2021).
Music critics praised "Supernova" for its over-the-top production, instrumentation, and Minogue's vocal performance. Some critics praised its intergalactic influences, while others saw it as aggressive. Despite not being released as a single, it reached number 48 on the Hot Dance/Electronic Songs chart in the United States the release week of Disco. Furthermore, "Supernova" was used as a lip-sync song twice on the American reality television series RuPaul's Drag Race, once in season one of RuPaul's Drag Race: UK vs. the World and again in season seven of RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars.
