About Kiss This

The song "Kiss This" by English rock band The Struts was released April 7, 2014, as the second single from their debut studio album. The song would begin to climb the charts in America in 2015 and 2016 causing an increase in popularity. The song calls on a personal experience of frontman and vocalist, Luke Spiller. Spiller's girlfriend at the time had been cheating on him with one of his close friends. He was not particularly fond of the idea of the song taking on the life of this indulgence of self-pity. Instead, the band uses power riffs and an in-your-face chorus. Due to this shift in perspective, the song became a liberating anthem about standing up on your own two feet. Spiller tells a story through the use of commentary. He describes the situation of infidelity and how it played out; however, there's a recurring theme of him rising above all of it and realizing he is worth more. It's the only song from their ‘Everybody Wants' album that uses the same chord progression. The band describes the song as having a typical rock and roll progression which has been used by some legendary acts. The band takes the feel of “Sympathy for the Devil” and mixed a hip hop element in it. In addition to that, there also Primal Scream's “Movin' On Up. The band believes the song is their version of a ‘Young Hearts Run Free'-type song but in a rock mentality.

Thomas said stay home,
Get away from me,
Saying I was bad for you,
He got his way,
I'm gone for good
Making up stories,
Keeping it secret,
Taking your word for truth,
You were bad for me,
So I'm gone for good

I,
Did all I could,
So kiss this one more time, 'cause I'm gone for good
You
Misunderstood
So kiss this one last time
And I'm gone for good

Thomas said sorry,
Coming home crawling,
Didn't give a shit before,
He stole from me,
So I'm gone for good (hey)
Getting back from these no second chances,
Another phone call ignored,
You are back for me,
But I'm gone for good

I,
Did all I could,
So kiss this one more time, 'cause I'm gone for good
You
Misunderstood
So kiss this one last time
And I'm gone for good

Can I get it all?
Kiss this
Ah ah ah ah
Ah ah ah ah
Ah ah ah ah
Kiss this
Kiss this

I,
Did all I could,
So kiss this one more time
One more time
I,
Did all I could,
So kiss this one more time, 'cause I'm gone for good
You
Misunderstood
So kiss this one last time
And I'm gone for good

Can I get it all?
Ah ah ah ah
Ah ah ah ah
Ah ah ah ah
Kiss this

Ah ah ah ah
Ah ah ah ah
Ah ah ah ah
Kiss, kiss, kiss this
