“Kiss Me More” is a song by American singer and rapper Doja Cat featuring American singer SZA. It was released on April 9, 2021, through Kemosabe and RCA Records as the lead single from Doja Cat’s third studio album Planet Her. A disco-influenced pop, R&B, and pop rap song, it was written by Doja Cat, SZA, Tizhimself, Dr. Luke, Carter Lang, and producers Rogét Chahayed and Yeti Beats.
As it interpolates the chorus from English-Australian singer Olivia Newton-John’s 1981 hit single “Physical”, co-writing credits on the track go to Steve Kipner and Terry Shaddick. “Kiss Me More” became a number-one hit in Malaysia, New Zealand and Singapore, and reached the top 5 in the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Australia, Ireland, Norway, Finland, Denmark, Lithuania and Greece.
“Can you kiss me more?
We’re so young, boy
We ain’t got nothin’ to lose, oh, oh
It’s just principle
Baby, hold me
‘Cause I like the way you groove, oh, oh
Boy, you write your name, I can do the same
Ooh, I love the taste, la-la-la-la
All on my tongue, I want it (la-la-la-la)
Boy, you write your name, I can do the same
Ooh, I love the taste, la-la-la-la-la
All on my tongue, I want it”
The music video premiered the same day as the single and was directed by Warren Fu. It features an astronaut (played by American actor Alex Landi) who crash-lands and explores the fictional “Planet Her”, where Doja Cat and SZA portray seductive aliens who “provide soulful ambiance to his journey.” At the end, he wakes up in a glass tube displayed among a collection of other men who have tried to explore the planet before him.
