I Don't Wanna Take This Pain

"I Don't Wanna Take This Pain" is a single performed by Australian singer Dannii Minogue for her debut album Love and Kisses (1991). A personal favourite of Minogue's, its original mix was released as the third single in Australia, where it peaked at #92 on the ARIA singles chart in December 1990.[2] A re-recorded and remixed version of the song (by L.A. Mix) was released in the United Kingdom as the fifth and final single in the fourth quarter of 1991, and received a mixed reception from music critics. "I Don't Wanna Take This Pain" became one of Minogue's least successful singles, only just reaching the top forty in the United Kingdom.[3]

Critical reception

In their review of the Love and Kisses album, Billboard wrote that songs like "I Don't Wanna Take This Pain" "surround her chirpy voice with contagious beats and melodies that should sound just dandy on top 40 radio."[4] Rozalla Miller reviewed the song for Smash Hits, adding "...her voice sounds much better on this record than it does on her other ones. It's pretty good, but it's not as catchy as Baby Love."[5]
