For me, despite lyrically being one of the most simplistic songs ever, it's so beautiful. The lead single from Ultimate Kylie and another collaboration with Jake Shears, I Believe in You was considered a return to form by many after Body Language wasn't received the best universally, and also earned Kylie a Grammy nomination. I think looking back now, it's definitely one of the most iconic early 2000s Kylie singles, and the music video just as iconic. Live performances, such as on the Showgirl tour and Aphrodite: Les Folies prove that it translates just as well in that setting too, providing some of the most dramatic and endearing moments. I Believe in You, however, isn't the highest placing single from Ultimate Kylie here, with one more yet to come.In My Arms was the third single from X, and despite being one of the best songs from the album (and the highest-placing single from the album in this countdown!), it ended up actually being Kylie's lowest-charting single in Australia since Cowboy Style. Seeing In My Arms come to life live - particularly on the KylieX2008 tour in the Black versus White act, was great. It's one of those songs that really pops and has its moment; particularly with the rocked-up version of the song performed on the Aphrodite: Les Folies tour. Unlike, for example, Slow and Can't Get You Out of My Head where some of her singles are revamped for live performances and it leaves me a little cold, this was one that was interesting to see a different take on. Definitely, in my opinion, the best single choice from the X era, and a single that will always stand up against some of her very best.
