"100 Degrees" is a song recorded by Australian singer-songwriter Kylie Minogue, with her sister Dannii Minogue. The track was the second single from Kylie's album Kylie Christmas (2015). It was released on 7 December 2015 by Parlophone and Warner Bros. Records. A disco-influenced Christmas song, the track was written by Kylie, Ash Howes, Richard Stannard and Steve Anderson, with Howes, Stannard and Anderson handling production. An alternate version of the song was later released on 1 April 2016, "100 Degrees (Still Disco to Me)", omitting all references to Christmas in its lyrics.

Kylie wrote "100 Degrees" about adapting to a winter Christmas in the UK after being raised in Australia and was inspired by Donna Summer's vintage disco classics. Dannii said: "There's not enough party Christmas songs, everyone has Christmas parties, but what music do you put on? This song is perfect for dancing to."{{cite web|url= http://chartshaker.com/2015/11/16/kylie-minogue-feat-dannii-minogue-100-degrees-official-music-video/|title= Kylie Minogue feat.
