==Composition==
The lyrics of the song deal with love and relationships, and the feeling that comes when Cosgrove is kissing her boyfriend.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.lyricshall.com/lyrics/Miranda+Cosgrove/Kissin+U/ |title=Kissin U song lyrics performed by Miranda Cosgrove |publisher=Lyricshall.com |date= |accessdate=2011-02-11}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.musicloversgroup.com/miranda-cosgrove-kissin-u-lyrics-and-video/ |title=Miranda Cosgrove - Kissin' U Lyrics and Video |publisher=Musicloversgroup.com |date=2010-03-16 |accessdate=2011-02-11}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.sweetslyrics.com/742365.Miranda%20Cosgrove%20-%20Kissin%5C'%20U.html |title=Miranda Cosgrove - Kissin' U Lyrics |publisher=Sweetslyrics.com |date=2010-03-21 |accessdate=2011-02-11}}</ref> During their review of the single, commonsensemedia stated on the song's lyrics, "Young love can be innocent, sweet, and irrepressible. It can also be incredibly annoying when taken to a super-sweet extreme. That's where we're at with this single. Lovebirds not jaded by love's letdowns can celebrate the purely poppy sounds and Cosgrove's limitless enthusiasm here. The rest of us will be left with a headache from constant eye rolling. After one listen you'll forever understand the meaning of 'bubblegum pop.'"<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.commonsensemedia.org/music-reviews/kissin-u-cd-single |title="Kissin U" (CD single) by Miranda Cosgrove - Music Review |publisher=Commonsensemedia.org |date=2010-02-04 |accessdate=2011-02-11}}</ref>

On the other hand, portraitmagazine praised the song's lyrical content as well as the music, saying, "Kissin U was the first single from the album, and it really isn't that bad. It's very bubblegum, but that isn't really all that surprising given Miranda's good girl image and Nickelodeon backing. It's also the only track on the album that she had a hand in writing, so it was a good decision for a single. It allows the record label to see how her fans respond to her music, gauge whether or not they should have more of her own writing on her next album. And it's a good effort for her first released song, though I think it's got some of the weakest vocals on the CD. She'll probably do a lot of cowriting with much more experienced musicians the next time around, which will help her grow as a singer/songwriter if she chooses to continue pursuing music."<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.portraitmagazine.net/reviews/albums/sparksfly.html |title=Miranda Cosgrove: Sparks Fly Reviews - Portrait Reviews |publisher=Portraitmagazine.net |date= |accessdate=2011-02-11}}</ref>

J!-ENT reviewed the song, stating the song is "well-produced, well-sung and has that sing/song style similar to [[Taylor Swift]] but with a rock edge". They also stated the song proves that Cosgrove has potential as a musical artist.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.nt2099.com/J-ENT/news/world-groove/miranda-cosgrove-kissin-u-a-j-ent-world-groove-digital-single-review/ |title=Miranda Cosgrove – Kissin U (a J!-ENT World Groove Digital Single Review) &#124; J!-ENT entertainment news pop culture TV music DVD Blu-ray reviews fashion celebrity USA Asia UK |publisher=Nt2099.com |date=2010-03-26 |accessdate=2011-02-11 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100606165423/http://www.nt2099.com/J-ENT/news/world-groove/miranda-cosgrove-kissin-u-a-j-ent-world-groove-digital-single-review/ |archive-date=2010-06-06 |url-status=dead }}</ref> Idolator.com also praised the song, as well as compared it to releases by major label artist [[Kesha]], saying "[Kissin' U] is a zippy if cookie-cutter pop song—not terribly exciting or risky, but with enough listens you'll find yourself singing along with the chorus.

Musicreviews10 had a less than positive opinion about the songs lyrics and music, stating that "Cosgrove's debut single outside of [[iCarly]] and the Nickelodeon machine is Kissin' U, a safe, pop number that's easy on the ears. While Cosgrove is fitting into the pop/rock vibe, if a young pop/rock number is what you want, Disney's [[Demi Lovato]] has far more substance.. and range. Kissin' U plays it safe, and should go on to be a moderate hit, but doesn't break any new ground. But at least it works."<ref>{{cite web|url=http://musicreviews10.blogspot.com/2010/05/miranda-cosgrove-kissin-u-single-review.html |title=Music Reviews 10 |publisher=Musicreviews10.blogspot.com |date=2010-05-03 |accessdate=2011-02-11}}</ref>

"Kissin U" is a song by American recording artist Miranda Cosgrove, released as the sole single from her debut studio album, Sparks Fly. Cosgrove co-wrote the song with Claude Kelly and Dr. Luke; the latter also co-produced it with Ammo. It was released on digital download format on March 22, 2010, and to mainstream radio on May 11, 2010.[2]

The song was well received critically and was a moderate chart success. The song is her first to enter the U.S. Mainstream Top 40 chart, where it peaked at number 19. The single peaked at number 54 on the Billboard Hot 100. It also charted in several international music charts, including Germany and Austria. The song appeared on the 2010 compilation album Now That's What I Call Music! 35.

Background

[edit]

"Kissin U" was first announced in late February 2010. The single was previewed on Ryan Seacrest's radio show, On Air with Ryan Seacrest on March 12, 2010, and was released on digital download format on March 22, 2010.[3] During an interview with MTV about the song, Cosgrove stated that

[...] "The song's about your first love or thinking you're falling in love, so it's just kind of a really happy, sweet song. I did write it about a guy, and I'm afraid he might have heard it and he's going to figure it out!"[4]

During the same interview, Cosgrove stated the song provided her with the inspiration to title her debut album Sparks Fly, saying that "The reason I ended up naming it Sparks Fly [is because] those are the first two words you hear when you pop my album in."[1] The single was released for radio airplay on May 11, 2010. On June 29, 2010 a remix EP containing three remixes of the song was released for digital download.[5][6]

Critical reception

[edit]

Idolator.com praised the song and compared it to releases by Kesha, and noted that the song "is a zippy if cookie-cutter pop song—not terribly exciting or risky, but with enough listens you'll find yourself singing along with the chorus."[7] Commonsensemedia praised the song's "purely poppy sounds and Cosgrove's limitless enthusiasm" but was also critical of the song's lyrics.[8]

The song ranked number eighty-eight on Bill Lamb's List of Top 100 Songs of 2010.[9]

Commercial performance

[edit]

"Kissin U" peaked at number 54 on the Billboard Hot 100. The song was also a top twenty hit on the US Mainstream Top 40 chart. On January 14, 2011, it was announced that "Kissin U" had been certified gold by RIAA for sales of over 500,000 units.[10] The song peaked at number 67 in Germany and at number 51 in Austria.[11][12]

Promotion and performances

[edit]

Cosgrove performed "Kissin U" live at the Nickelodeon Kids' Choice Awards pre-show.[13] On September 6, 2010, she performed "Kissin U" on Today.[14]

Music video

[edit]

The music video was shot in Santa Monica, California and debuted on March 19, 2010. It was directed by Alan Ferguson. The video shows Cosgrove on the beach singing and walking, to meet her love interest who is a sidewalk artist. They go to his house and she sees all the paintings he has painted, as well as trying to teach her how to draw, and later washing his car in front of her house, she splashes him with the hose and he chases her around the car. Later they are seen at a party where it seems they kiss. When she wakes up that morning she looks out the window to see a drawing of a butterfly with images of her and him in the wings on the sidewalk.[15][16][17]
