Kiss My (Uh-Oh) is a electropop song, that samples Lumidee, Never Leave You. It received mixed reviews from music critics. The single peaked at number ten on the UK Singles Charts, and reached the top fifteen of the Irish Singles Chart. It also reached the charts in eight other countries. A remix of the track featuring Becky Hill, Raye, and Stefflon Don, was later released on 26th August 2021.[2] The song was nominated for "Best Song and Best Collab" at the 2021 Power Radio Awards.[3]

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]

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.[8]
