The song "Especially For You" by Kylie Minogue (featuring Jason Donovan) was written and produced by the team of Stock, Aitken & Waterman.
Waterman admitted that when he heard the finished version of the song, he hated it. He thought the the song had absolutely no passion, and everybody he played it to in the office hated it as well.
But, the song was going to be a smash hit because of who was singing it. So, Waterman and Stock spent some time remixing it, and somehow it came together at the last moment.
They then rushed to the pressing plant and got it out in time for Christmas.
