"Kiss You" is a song recorded by British-Irish boy band One Direction for their second studio album, ''Take Me Home'' (2012). It was released as the record's second single in Germany and the third overall single on 7 January 2013. The song was composed by Kristoffer Fogelmark, Kristian Lundin, Albin Nedler, Savan Kotecha, Shellback and its producers, Carl Falk and Rami Yacoub. "Kiss You" is an upbeat power pop song with electronic effects; the lyrics detail a protagonist's infatuation with a significant other. Critics praised the song for its production, calling it a stand-out track on ''Take Me Home''. The track became the group's sixth top-ten hit in Ireland and the United Kingdom, while attaining top-forty positions in both Belgian territories (Flanders and Wallonia), as well as in Australia, Canada, Denmark, France, New Zealand, and the Netherlands. The single peaked at number 46 on the US ''Billboard'' Hot 100 and has been certified gold by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) for shipments of 500,000 copies. One Direction performed "Kiss You" on both the UK and US versions of ''The X Factor'' and 3 major concert tours: ''Take Me Home Tour'' (2013), ''Where We Are Tour'' (2014) and ''On the Road Again Tour'' (2015). An accompanying music video, designed to display the group's comedic timing, was directed by Vaughan Arnell, who had previously worked with the group on two other music videos. The clip depicts the band shooting various scenes via a green screen, which include sequences reminiscent of iconic music videos of songs such as the Beach Boys' "Surfer Girl", Elvis Presley's "Jailhouse Rock" and Rammstein's "Mein Land". The music video received 10.4 million views in a 24-hour period and positive commentary from reviewers, who appreciated its careless, jubilant nature. The song was included in the dancing game ''Just Dance 2014'', and is also one of the select songs available on the demo version. Additionally, it is the final main track on the US edition of ''Now That's What I Call Music! 46''. ==Background and release== "Kiss You" was written by Kristoffer Fogelmark, Kristian Lundin, Albin Nedler, Savan Kotecha, Shellback, and its producers, Carl Falk and Rami Yacoub. Falk, Kotecha, and Yacoub had collaboratively composed One Direction's previous hit singles, "What Makes You Beautiful", "One Thing", and "Live While We're Young". In April 2012, ''The Independent'' reported that Simon Cowell, the group's manager, had challenged prominent songwriters to compete for space on One Direction's second album. Falk said, "It's important to get their personalities on the music."〔 In addition, the article reported that Syco Records was working on candidates that included Max Martin and Lundin.〔 "Kiss You" was chosen as the second US single and third international from their second studio album, ''Take Me Home''. Liam Payne, a group member, in a November 2012 interview with MTV News, explained why they chose "Kiss You" as the album's second single in the US.〔 Payne was quoted as saying: "With the album, that's the first one that we listened to and we were like, 'Yeah, we love this song'".〔 According to a MTV News article, the number was released digitally in the United States on 17 November 2012.〔 By 18 January 2013, the song had not been officially promoted to US radio stations.〔 The track, however, was released by Sony Music Entertainment on 8 February 2013, as the record's second single in Germany.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Kiss You (One Direction song)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
