Don't Wanna Lose This Feeling

"Don't Wanna Lose This Feeling" is a song recorded by Australian singer Dannii Minogue for her 2003 album Neon Nights. It was written by the singer with Bruno Alexandre, Matthieu Joly, Terry Ronald, Madonna, Stephen Bray, James Theochari and Camille Troillard. The song was released as the album's fourth single in June 2003, reaching number five in the United Kingdom and the top 40 in Australia, Walloon Belgium, France, Ireland, and Spain. Its music video, directed by Phil Griffin, features Minogue dancing on a beach with her lover and friends.

Mashup
A mashup between "Don't Wanna Lose This Feeling" and Madonna's 1985 single "Into the Groove" was also issued. Inspired by the many bootleg recordings being made in the UK, Minogue sent Madonna a copy of the mashup for her legal approval. Madonna, an artist who rarely approves of others using her music, called it "brilliant". Minogue described Madonna's approval as "the biggest, most amazing thing".
