"'''All the Lovers'''" is a song recorded by Australian recording artist [[Kylie Minogue]] for her eleventh studio album, ''[[Aphrodite (Kylie Minogue album)|Aphrodite]]'' (2010). It was released by [[Parlophone]] on 11 June 2010 as the lead single from the album. The song was written by [[Jim Eliot]] and [[Kish Mauve|Mima Stilwell]] and produced by the former; [[Stuart Price]], provided additional production. "All the Lovers" started out as a midtempo song with influences of [[electropop]] music. The lyrics of the song serve as an invitation to the dance floor and an assertion that Minogue's past relationships do not "compare" to the one she shares with her present lover.▼

An accompanying music video for "All the Lovers" was filmed in [[Downtown Los Angeles]] by [[Joseph Kahn (director)|Joseph Kahn]], and features Minogue singing the song from atop a pyramid of underwear-clad couples. Critical reception towards the video was favourable, with many critics enjoying its concept and imagery. The music video was banned in several Asian countries due to its sexual nature. Minogue performed the song on various television shows, such as ''[[Germany's Next Topmodel]]'' and ''[[Alan Carr: Chatty Man]]''. Kylie also recorded a Spanish version from All The Lovers called "'''Los Amores'''". In 2012, Minogue re-recorded the song for inclusion on her orchestral compilation album, ''[[The Abbey Road Sessions (Kylie Minogue album)|The Abbey Road Sessions]].''▼

"All the Lovers" was included in the [[Encore (concert)|encore]] segment of the [[setlist]] and was the last performance of the shows. During the performances of the song, Minogue stood atop a rotating "three-tiered cake stage", which was "layered" with her back-up dancers, as fountains and "swirling near-naked dancers spinning on harnesses" surrounded her.<ref name=tourwashingtonpost>{{cite news|last=Buerger|first=Megan|title=In concert: Kylie Minogue at Patriot Center|url=https://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/click-track/post/in-concert-kylie-minogue-at-patriot-center/2011/05/02/AFzADoYF_blog.html|newspaper=[[The Washington Post]]|publisher=Nash Holdings LLC|access-date=10 January 2014|date=2 May 2011|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170715141439/https://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/click-track/post/in-concert-kylie-minogue-at-patriot-center/2011/05/02/AFzADoYF_blog.html|archive-date=15 July 2017|url-status=live}}</ref><ref name=tourliverpoolecho>{{cite web|last=Collinson|first=Dawn|title=Concert Review: Kylie Minogue at the MEN Arena|url=http://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/news/liverpool-news/concert-review-kylie-minogue-men-3376429|work=[[Liverpool Echo]]|access-date=10 January 2014|date=2 April 2011|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170701003415/http://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/news/liverpool-news/concert-review-kylie-minogue-men-3376429|archive-date=1 July 2017|url-status=live}}</ref> The performance received positive reviews from critics.
