It was originally written for label-mate Mandy Smith but her version was shelved and the song was given to Kylie. It was another #1 hit in Australia (Kylie's third in a row and the second song to ever debut at #1), a #2 hit in the UK and a Top 10 hit across Europe. 35 years on, what are your thoughts and memories of 'Got to Be Certain'?

I’m not keen on the locomotion but the other three singles from the first era were all great.

BuzzJack Enthusiast Joined: 18 January 2021 Posts: 1,789 User: 122,015	I like Got to be Certain. It's better than Locomotion, but then most of her PWL singles then topped it (if we forget If You Were With Me Now and, probably, Never Too Late). I think it probably gets overlooked quite a fair bit..? But I might be wrong there.

I think it's mostly because Kylie usually ignores it on her tours and such. I wonder if that's partly because it wasn't written especially for her.
