“Better the Devil You Know” is a song by singer-songwriter Kylie Minogue, taken from her third studio album “Rhythm of Love” (1990). The song was released as the album’s lead single on 30 April 1990.

It is known as the song that re-invented Minogue to a more sexual appeal, as her previous albums were presented with her “girl next door” persona, while her music onwards present an independent approach.

The song was lauded by music critics, who noted the imagery change in her music. They also complimented the song itself and felt it was one of Minogue’s best, along as a highlight to, not just her studio album but her compilations as well.
