10 Out of 10 (Oliver Heldens song)

Originally a solo track by Heldens, his team contacted Minogue and sent her a demo version of the song, asking her to provide vocals and additional lyrics.

Her changes to the original demo, as well as recording the track in remote locations without ever working with Heldens, posed additional challenges during the production process.

In June 2022, Minogue told Vogue Australia that she was working on new music, citing her 2003 single "Slow" as inspiration for the album's sound.

[5][6] On 27 March, Oliver Heldens had posted on Instagram a picture of his Notes app, alluding it a collaboration between five female artists, including Minogue's name.

[18] Three days later, Kangarooli Tracks and RCA released the song as a promotional single, which was distributed on digital and streaming platforms.

[22] Mandy Rogers of EQ Music called it a "massive crossover appealing banger", while EDMTunes editor Jaesyun compared it favourably to Minogue's work on her album Disco (2020) and Helen's "summertime house" sound.

[14][24] Clash writer Lucy Harbon compared the track to Beyoncé's work on Renaissance (2022), noting that both were influenced by ballroom and drag culture.

[15] Michael Cragg of Crack thought it "fits nicely in context" with the record, whereas Jeremy Allen of The Quietus thought the album's uneven sound, despite its target audience, aided the song and album track "Vegas High", writing that it "provide rushes that may end in sugary comas inside thirty seconds".

They had written: "As a pop album track praising a sexy counterpart, it’s delightful; as an artifact interpellating ballroom, it feels chintzy".

[16] Pitchfork contributor Harry Tafoya described it as a "flop" for the album, saying it was "far too bloodless and vanilla to remotely merit its watered-down ballroom chorus".

"10 Out of 10" features guest vocals and additional writing credits by Australian singer Kylie Minogue (pictured).
