Release

In mid-2025, Demi Lovato started promoting her ninth studio album, It's Not That Deep, released on October 24 through DLG Recordings and Island Records.[2] It was billed as a dance-pop record that remarked Lovato's desire to "enjoy life and have fun": "I'm happy, I'm in love [...] I realized it's not that deep anymore, and that became the ethos for this album."[3] Lovato played the then-unreleased song "Kiss" at several parties, including at the Loose club in Los Angeles, an album-themed Paper launch party, and at the Silencio club in Paris, France.[4]

Lovato announced the release of "Kiss" on October 8, 2025, with a cryptic post captioned "let's kiss... friday".[4][5] "Kiss" was released on October 10, 2025, as the third single from It's Not That Deep, following "Fast" and "Here All Night".[4] The song was accompanied by a music video starring Lovato walking around several couples kissing.[6][7] Alongside the song's release, Lovato unveiled the album's tracklist, containing "Kiss" as the ninth song.[7] The singer played it at MISTR's National PrEP Day party in Los Angeles.[8]

Reception

Billboard's Stephen Daw included "Kiss" on their Queer Jams of the Week list, and described it as an electropop track that aligns with the theme of the album: "Demi is here to have a good time, period." The critic found resemblance with the "carefree vibes" of Lovato's songs "Really Don't Care" (2014) and "Cool for the Summer" (2015), "but this time with her tongue firmly planted in her cheek and her lips curled into a smirk".[9]
