"Shocked" is a dance pop song written by Stock, Aitken & Waterman for Kylie Minogue's third studio album Rhythm of Love (1990). It was produced by Stock, Aitken & Waterman and received a positive reception from music critics. The song was never intended for single release but when remixed by DNA and featured a rap penned and performed by Pauline Bennett a.k.a. Jazzi P (whose appearance during the Let's Get to It Tour elevated her to cult status with some Kylie fans) and so it was released as the fourth and final single in the spring of 1991 (see 1991 in music) where it was a European chart hit, peaking at number six in the United Kingdom and number two in Ireland. In Australia the song peaked at number seven. Due to the top ten chart performance of the song in the UK, Minogue became the first artist in the history of the UK charts to have their first thirteen releases go top ten.

The single was unique in that it became Kylie's first ever, and only, PWL picture-disc single, a format which Pete Waterman decried, stating "the songs can do their own work".
