==Background and writing==
After the 53rd Grammy Awards, held in February 2011, band members Charles Kelley and Dave Haywood said in a backstage interview that work on the group's third album was almost complete. On May 2, 2011, the band digitally released "Just a Kiss", the lead single from the new project.〔 In a blog entry on their website, the group said that "Just a Kiss" was among the last songs that were written for the album. Haywood commented, "We were about six songs into recording and someone had this idea, so we sat down to write it." Hillary Scott, Kelley and Haywood wrote the song with Dallas Davidson.〔 Davidson discussed the conception of the song with country music blog ''Taste of Country'': "I went out on the road with them, and we wrote a couple of things. We recorded one song called 'We Own the Night'. Charles called me as they were about done with the record. He said, 'Man, we want to write again.' So the band came over (my office ) one morning. We started writing this other song. We were trying to find Hillary a little uptempo girl song. We wrote this cool thing."
The next day, Davidson found Haywood in his office, playing the keyboard part which was later revived for the song's riff. "When we got done with the other song, I kept going back, saying, 'Man, there's something about what you were playing earlier ... let's mess with that before we leave.' So he started playing it again," Davidson recalled.〔 After the keyboard elements were completed, Scott and Kelley finished the song's music and lyrics at the studio. They discussed ideas for the song; Kelley put forward the basic melody and Scott followed up with her own contribution. After they wrote the lyrics, Davidson proposed that the song's title be "Just a Kiss Goodnight".〔 It was later changed to "Just a Kiss" after Scott felt that "it's cool to have 'just a kiss' goodnight rather than going all the way."〔 Kelley told ''Country Weekly'' that the song was inspired by the band members' experiences: "I remembered being out the first night with Cassie and thinking, 'This is different, and I don't want to give any wrong impression. I don't want to make the wrong move because this feels like something special.' We started talking about that and going back and forth with different experiences when we wrote the song." The song was recorded and mixed by Clarke Schleicher, with assistance from Joe Martino and Andrew Bazinet.〔 The B-side track, "Bottle Up Lightning", was written by Kelley, Haywood, Tony Martin and Wendell Lee Mobley.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Bottle Up Lightning (Legal Title) – BMI Work #10445032 )〕
