"What Do I Have to Do" is a song performed by Australian singer-songwriter Kylie Minogue from her third studio album, Rhythm of Love (1990). The song was written and produced by Stock, Aitken & Waterman. Originally, the song was planned to be released after the single "Better the Devil You Know", but instead "Step Back in Time" was released and this was released as the third single on 21 January 1991 by PWL and Mushroom.[3] The song received positive reviews from most music critics, who thought the song was an instant rave classic. Its music video was directed by Dave Hogan.
The song peaked at number eleven in her native Australia. The song did however peak at number six in the United Kingdom, becoming a success there, albeit her first single not to reach the top five. The song was also hit in France and The Netherlands. NME voted it as the thirtieth best track of 1991.[4]
Minogue performed the song as her debut performance at the Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras in 1994.[5] The song has been performed on most of Minogue's concert tours, including her Rhythm of Love Tour, Let's Get to It Tour and Intimate and Live Tour.
