"'Kiss Kiss'" is a song recorded and co-written by Canadian country pop artist Madeline Merlo. She wrote the track with Allison Veltz Cruz and Jeff Pardo, who produced the track. It became Merlo's seventh Top 20 hit.

Background



Merlo told 'Sounds Like Nashville' that "Kiss Kiss is an energetic step in a direction sonically I haven't gone before. Both the song and the music video feel mysterious and an exciting move in uncharted territory for my artistry. Kiss Kiss represents the reckless place you can find yourself fresh off a breakup". The song was released shortly after Lady A recorded "Champagne Night", a track Merlo co-wrote and performed on NBC's 'Songland'.

Content



The song finds Merlo singing to a love interest in hopes of jointly getting over break-ups. Merlo told 'Canadian Beats Media', "This song is about one broken-hearted person finding another broken- hearted person. Its about pretending to be in love. Its about how we get through it. This song is phase one of heartbreak. Well say its more than just a weekend rebound, its a lie but its a good one right now."

Critical reception



'CMT' called the track "a flirty, modern track that also shows off her songwriting ability". 'Front Porch Music' referred to the track as "dangerous and sexy, with a rebellious electric guitar" and "the classic get-over-him/her, with a little tease, and accepting the rebound as part of the healing process for many".

Commercial performance



As of January 2021, "Kiss Kiss" had received over 1 Million streams through Spotify.

Music video



The official music video for "Kiss Kiss" premiered exclusively on CMT on August 3, 2020, and was directed by Brian K. Vaughn The video features Merlo at a masquerade party while her and a man both seek a rebound from a previous relationship. Merlo stated that the "video for Kiss Kiss mirrors a step into a new space sonically for me with darker visuals to represent this fresh take on a breakup song".

Chart performance



"Kiss Kiss" reached a peak of #13 on the 'Billboard' Canada Country chart dated September 26, 2020, tying Merlo's fifth-highest-charting entry there.
