"Kiss My (Uh-Oh)" is a song by English singer Anne-Marie and British girl group Little Mix. It was released by Asylum Records, as the fourth single from Anne-Marie's second studio-album Therapy (2021). It was written by Anne Marie, Taylor Upsahl, Camille Purcell, Pete Nappi, and John Banfield, with production by Nappi and Mojam. The song lyrically discusses the liberation someone feels after walking away from a toxic relationship.[1]
Kiss My (Uh-Oh) was met with mixed reviews from critics. Described as a electropop and calypso-pop song, it samples Lumidee, Never Leave You. On 26th August 2021, a remix of the song titled "Girl Power remix" was released featuring Becky Hill, Raye, and Stefflon Don.[2] The remix helped the song reach a new peak of number ten in the UK, becoming Anne Marie sixth and Little Mix nineteenth top ten single in the UK.[3] Kiss My (Uh-Oh) reached the top fifteen of the Irish Singles Chart and reached the charts in eight other music markets.
Composition
The song contains a sample of "Never Leave You (Uh Oooh, Uh Oooh)", a 2003 single by Lumidee.[4] "Kiss My (Uh-Oh)" is a "playful" calypso-pop[5] and electropop[6] song written by Anne-Marie, Taylor Upsahl, Kamille, Peter Nappi, and Jacob Banfield, with the production handled by Nappi and Mojam. The song runs for a total length of two minutes and 57 seconds.[5] Robin Murray of Clash compared the song to the works of Beyoncé.[7] According to the sheet music published at Musicnotes.com by Universal Music Publishing Group, the song is written in the key of F minor with a tempo of 104 beats per minute.[6]
Critical reception
Robin Murray of Clash called the song a "blockbuster" and "a sly and subversive ode to the powers of womanhood".[7] Michael Cragg of The Guardian referred to the song's sampling of "Never Leave You (Uh Oooh, Uh Oooh)" as "a lot of fun", but felt that Anne-Marie was "completely dominated by guests Little Mix and their not inconsiderable vocals".[4]
It was featured as the commercial song in 2022 for BBC One series 4 of Glow Up.[8]
Music video
The music video for the song, directed by Hannah Lux Davis, was released the same day as the single. It was Little Mix's second music video to be directed by Davis, with the first being their 2017 single "Power". Inspired by the 2011 comedy flim Bridesmaids, it features the group recreating select scenes from the film, as well as a scene with Anne-Marie and Jade Thirlwall in a club, while Perrie Edwards and Leigh-Anne Pinnock stay in a hotel room.[9]
