Released in Australia and New Zealand, the song charted at number thirty-nine on the Australian Singles Chart. "Cowboy Style" was written by Minogue, Steve Anderson and Dave Seaman, and was one of the first songs composed for the album. Kylie wrote the song prior to being in a relationship with French photographer Stéphane Sednaoui with different lyrical context, but it was completed while they were dating. Of the song, Kylie said "the way you start a new relationship with someone, they can bring out so many emotions within you and makes you question yourself a bit more." The title "Cowboy Style" comes from when she first met Sednaoui in person, where she recalled him looking "unusual" and felt like he was "the new cowboy coming into town". Following the weak commercial performance of her previous single "Breathe", Kylie left DeConstruction Records. While performing on her Intimate and Live tour in Australia, Kylie confirmed that she would release "Cowboy Style" as the fourth single in Australia and New Zealand through Mushroom Records. The single's artwork was shot during the tour by Simon Emmert, which featured Kylie with a leather bra and a cowboy hat on. Idolator listed the artwork as one of "Kylie's Best Single Covers", saying "Leather bra and a cowboy hat. Enough said." An unedited shot of the cover was featured in her Kylie photo album book, released in August 1999. .
