It was released through [[London Records]] on 17 March 2003. Spurred by her success with the 2001 single "[[Who Do You Love Now?]]", Minogue signed a new record contract and began working on the album with the likes of [[Ian Masterson]], [[Korpi & Blackcell]], [[Neïmo]] and [[Terry Ronald]]. The effort culminated in a [[Dance music|dance]] record largely influenced by [[1980s in music|1980s music]] and the European club scene. ''Neon Nights'' became the most successful album campaign in Minogue's career, which saw her chart in several territories for the first time. The album peaked at number 8 in the United Kingdom and spawned four top-ten singles in the territory, including "[[Put the Needle on It]]" and "[[I Begin to Wonder]]". The latter became her highest-charting single, peaking at number two. Minogue received generally positive reviews from [[Music journalism|music critics]], and it has since been regarded as a [[Cult following|cult classic]]. She went on a limited tour in support of the album, which included a one-off show in [[New York City]]. ''Neon Nights'' has been reissued twice since its release, marking its 15th and 20th anniversaries.<ref>{{cite web | url=https://open.spotify.com/album/0tpjiX5QrSH3jbFCd1okrI?si=6DZf2-7aSDKMB40Nx60mRw | title=Neon Nights 20 | website=[[Spotify]] }}</ref> {{TOC limit}} ==Background and recording== Despite producing a top-five hit with 1997's "[[All I Wanna Do (Dannii Minogue song)|All I Wanna Do]]", Minogue was dropped by record label [[Warner Records|Warner Brothers]] after her third studio album ''[[Girl (Dannii Minogue album)|Girl]]'' became a commercial disappointment, and she saw herself as effectively retired from the music industry.<ref name=":0">{{Cite news |last=Bond |first=Nick |date=15 June 2023 |title=Dannii Minogue on Neon Nights and her surprise World Pride performance |url=https://www.news.com.au/entertainment/music/dannii-minogue-on-neon-nights-and-her-surprise-world-pride-performance/news-story/b3cd888e00a7017cadf30a025c213bf1 |access-date=20 July 2023 |work=[[News.com.au]] |ref=newscomau}}</ref><ref>{{Cite magazine |author=Paoletta |first=Michael |date=3 October 2003 |title=Dannii Minogue Ponders The 'X-Factor' |url=https://www.billboard.com/music/music-news/dannii-minogue-ponders-the-x-factor-68834/ |access-date=20 July 2023 |magazine=[[Billboard (magazine)|Billboard]] |page=44 |language=en-US |volume=115}}</ref> She appeared in productions of ''[[Macbeth]]'' and ''[[Notre Dame de Paris (musical)|Notre-Dame de Paris]]'' during this time.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Grant |first=Matt |date=24 August 1999 |title=Is this a Dannii I see before me? |url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/special_report/1999/08/99/edinburgh_festival_99/428705.stm |access-date=20 July 2023 |website=[[BBC News]]}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news |last1=Gibbons |first1=Fiachra |date=16 January 2001 |title=Alarm as Cats heads for last miaow |url=https://www.theguardian.com/uk/2002/jan/16/fiachragibbons |access-date=30 July 2023 |work=[[The Guardian]] |language=en-GB |issn=0261-3077}}</ref> In 2001, DJ [[Pete Tong]] approached her and asked her to record vocals for the [[Trance music|trance]] instrumental "Stringer" by DJ duo [[Chocolate Puma|Riva]], which was becoming a hit in European clubs.
