What is Padaming?
Padam Padam by Kyle was released in June 2023, and the song's title has taken on a life of its own, going viral and picking up a multitude of meanings along the way — while also seemingly meaning nothing at all.
Urban Dictionary gives the definition of Padam Padam as: "An onomatopoeia for the sound a heartbeat makes when you’re a diva who’s slaying, coined by Kylie Minogue."
The phrases 'padam padam' and 'padaming' became a hit with many, particularly within the LGBTQI+ community, and can be used as a question, greeting, insult, exclamation — pretty much anything you want.
Speaking with Capital Radio, Kylie said the beaning can be "whatever you want, babe".

She added: "People are hilarious. It's become a noun, a verb, an adjective.
"It's taken on a life of its own and I am having the time of my life seeing what people are doing."
