}} "Kiss with a Fist" is the debut single by indie rock band Florence and the Machine, taken from their debut album ''Lungs'' (2009). It has been featured on the original motion picture soundtrack to 2009 black comedy film ''Jennifer's Body'', as well as the 2008 film ''Wildchild'', NBC comedy ''Community'' (Season 1, Episode 12 - "Comparative Religion"), ''Cougar Town'' (Season 1, Episode 3 - "Don't Do Me Like That"), ''Saving Grace'' and ''United States of Tara''. The single was released through Moshi Moshi Records on 9 June 2008 in the UK and was then released four months later on 6 October 2008 through IAMSOUND Records in the US. The B-side to "Kiss with a Fist" is a cover version of the Cold War Kids song "Hospital Beds". The song was also used to advertise the Channel 4 music channel. ==Background== "Kiss with a Fist" first appeared with the same lyrics under the name "Happy Slap" on Ashok's (Florence Welch's previous band) first (and only) album ''Plans''. "Kiss with a Fist" was originally released as a non-album single and was later finalised as track number five on ''Lungs''. It is significantly the shortest track on the album and was co-written by Florence Welch herself along with Isabella Summers (who co-wrote the majority of the songs on the album with Florence) and Matt Allchin. The song is in an indie garage-rock style and features Christopher Lloyd Haiden on drums, Robert Ackroyd on bass guitar and Tim McCall on guitar. The track was both recorded and mixed by Richard Flack with producer, former Pulp bassist Steve Mackey (renowned for his work with M.I.A.) credited as a co-mixer as well. Originally, a great deal of confusion surrounded the song's meaning. With lyrics such as "broke your jaw once before", "split your blood upon the floor", "you smashed a plate over my head", "you gave a kick" and "I gave a slap" - the song was thought by many to be based on domestic violence, which Florence denies. Florence explained the song's meaning on her MySpace: "Kiss with a Fist" is NOT a song about domestic violence. The single was performed on BBC Introducing and at Academy 1 as part of the release's promotion. The song is also a regular feature of the band's performance setlist, being performed at numerous festivals in and around the UK, including Glastonbury, Brighton, the NME Awards tour, the Ben & Jerry festival and the Electric Picnic among others. Florence further elaborated on her inspiration behind the song: I was 16 or 17 when I wrote this. I'd just fallen in love for the first time, and I'd also started hanging out with an older group of people, watching how their relationships worked. 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 with a Fist」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
