"Wouldn't Change a Thing" was Minogue's second single from her second studio album Enjoy Yourself. In the UK, the B side was "It's No Secret" which was released as a single in North America, Japan, Australia and New Zealand in 1988. It was intended to be the fifth worldwide single release from the debut albumKylie but was cancelled in favour of "Hand on Your Heart" and therefore was released as the B-side to "Wouldn't Change a Thing". The song was released in the United States, but didn't generate much success. This single was heavily promoted on UK TV while Kylie was recording her 2nd album Enjoy Yourself shortly after completing work on her first feature filmThe Delinquents.
