Kissing You (Des'ree song)
"Kissing You" (or "I'm Kissing You") is a song by British singer Des'ree. It was written by the singer with Timothy Atack for Baz Luhrmann's 1996 film ''Romeo + Juliet''. The song was included on the film's soundtrack album and Des'ree's third studio album, ''Supernatural'' (1998). A pop ballad set in the key of A minor, the record uses a simple instrumentation consisting only of piano and string instruments. "Kissing You" featured in ''Romeo + Juliet'' when the title characters meet at a ball. The song was well received by critics for its emotional melody and toned-down production. Released as a single on 18 June 1997, it appeared on the ARIA Singles Chart and the UK Singles Chart. A music video accompanied the single, which included scenes from ''Romeo + Juliet''.
"Kissing You" has been covered by Beyoncé (2007), Taylor Dayne (2008) and Stan Walker (2010). Beyoncé filmed a music video for her rendition, which she retitled "Still in Love (Kissing You)". The change of title and music video went against copyright terms, and thus Des'ree's publishers filed a lawsuit against Beyoncé and her representatives. Infringing albums were recalled, and both sides agreed that the case be dismissed with prejudice.
