About This Kiss

"This Kiss" is a song by Canadian singer Carly Rae Jepsen from her second studio album, Kiss (2012). The song was written by Jepsen, Matthew Koma, Kelly Covell and Redfoo of electropop duo LMFAO through e-mails, text messaging and telephone calls, with production handled by Koma and Redfoo. "This Kiss" was released as the third single from the album on September 10, 2012. The mid-tempo dance-pop track lyrically speaks about a kiss being something Jepsen can't resist and the lips of her beloved. "This Kiss" received mostly positive reviews from music critics, who compared it to "Call Me Maybe" and "Good Time". However, it failed to match the success of her previous singles, only reaching the top three in on the Ultratip chart of Belgium (Flanders) and in South Korea, while missing the top ten in countries such as Canada and United Kingdom. In the United States, the song peaked at 86 on the Billboard Hot 100 prior to its single release, and at number 37 on Pop Songs. An accompanying music video was released on October 26, 2012, at the Fun Size film premiere, portrays Jepsen flirting with a guy in the club. To promote its release as a single, Jepsen performed "This Kiss" on The Ellen DeGeneres Show, the Late Show with David Letterman, and at the 2012 American Music Awards.

I went out last night
I'm going out tonight again
Anything to capture your attention (your attention)
And she's a real sweet girl
And you know I got a boy
Details we both forgot to mention (forgot to mention)

And you, I always know where you are
And you always know where I am
We're taking it way too far
But I don't want it to end

This kiss is something I can't resist
Your lips are undeniable
This kiss is something I can't risk
Your heart is unreliable
Something so sentimental
You make so detrimental
And I wish it didn't feel like this
'Cause I don't wanna miss this kiss
I don't wanna miss this kiss

You know you're just my type
And your eyes are lock and key, to my heart
Tempting my confession (my confession)
And you're a real hot thing
But you know I've got a boy somewhere
So can you feel the tension? (feel the tension)

And you, I'm dancing to where you are
And you're dancing to where I am
We're taking it way too far
But I don't want it to end

This kiss is something I can't resist
Your lips are undeniable
This kiss is something I can't risk
Your heart is unreliable
Something so sentimental
You make so detrimental
And I wish it didn't feel like this
'Cause I don't wanna miss this kiss

But if you ask me to
I couldn't, I couldn't, I
You're leaning closer and
I shouldn't, I shouldn't, I
But if you ask me to
I couldn't, I couldn't, I
I shouldn't, I shouldn't
I don't wanna miss this kiss

This kiss is something I can't resist
Your lips are undeniable
This kiss is something I can't risk
Your heart is unreliable
Something so sentimental
You make so detrimental
I wish it didn't feel like this
'Cause I don't wanna miss this kiss
I wish it didn't feel like this
I don't wanna miss this kiss
