Better the Devil You Know. After the success of her debut single " Locomotion " in Australia, Kylie traveled to London to work with Stock Aitken Waterman, a successful British writing and production team.

They knew little of Kylie and had forgotten that she was arriving; as a result, they wrote "I Should Be So Lucky" in forty minutes while she waited outside the recording studio.

Mike Stock wrote the lyrics for the song in response to what he had learned about Kylie prior to her arrival. He believed that although she was a successful soap star in Australia and very talented, there must be something wrong with her and figured that she must be unlucky in love. Kylie recorded the song in less than an hour, which Stock attributes to her good ear for music and her quick memorization skills. After Kylie finished the recording session she returned home to Australia to continue work on the soap opera, Neighbours.

According to the music sheet on MusicNotes. Kylie's vocals span from the key note of D4 to the key note of C5. The song is set in common time and moves at a moderate tempo of beats per minute.
