2001"Butterfly" is a dance–pop song written by Australian singer Kylie Minogue and Steve Anderson for Minogue's seventh album "Light Years" (2000). It was produced by DJ-producer Mark Picchiotti. The song was released as a promotional single in autumn of 2001 and was a dance club hit, peaking at number fourteen in the United States on the "Billboard" Hot Dance Music/Club Play chart.

The song was originally issued to clubs in spring 2000 in the UK as a test pressing to gauge DJ reaction to Minogue's new material. "Butterfly" had been in the running to be the fourth single from "Light Years", but due to its strong club influences it was pulled in favour of the radio-friendly "Please Stay". However, Mark Pichotti remixed the track and issued it in the United States through his own Blue2 label (a division of Blueplate Records), where it became a hit on the Billboard Dance music charts.
