"Padam Padam" is a song recorded by Australian singer Kylie Minogue. BMG Rights Management and Darenote released it on 18 May 2023 as the lead single and opener to Minogue's sixteenth studio album Tension (2023). Written by Norwegian singer-songwriter Ina Wroldsen alongside their producer Lostboy, "Padam Padam" is a dance-pop and synthpop song with elements of electronic music and Eastern European sound. Lyrically, it touches on the topic of sexual encounter with its title being an onomatopoeia for a heartbeat.
Lostboy co-wrote and produced "Padam Padam".
Kylie Minogue became the fourth female solo artist to have a top-ten single in the UK in five decades, after musicians Lulu, Diana Ross, and Cher (pictured).
