"Put Yourself in My Place" is a song performed by Australian recording artist and songwriter Kylie Minogue, recorded for her self-titled fifth studio album (1994). The song was released as the album's second single on 18 November 1994 by Deconstruction. The song was written and produced by Jimmy Harry.
