"Kiss and Make Up" is a song by English-Albanian singer

promotional single
from all editions of the album on 19 October 2018, alongside the reissue's release.

The song was commercially successful, charting within the top 40 of nineteen countries, and topped the charts in Malaysia and Singapore. Additionally, it reached number 36 on the

Gaon Digital Chart. The song has since been certified
platinum in Australia, gold in Italy and Portugal, and silver in the United Kingdom.

"Kiss and Make Up" was included on the set list of Blackpink's In Your Area World Tour (2018–2020). A pop-funk remix of the song appears on Lipa and the Blessed Madonna's remix album Club Future Nostalgia (2020), that contains elements of Herb Alpert's "Rise" (1979).

Writing and production

"Kiss and Make Up" was written by Dua Lipa, Chelcee Grimes, Mathieu Jomphe-Lepine, Marc Vincent, Teddy Park, Yannick Rastogi and Zacharie Raymond, with production from the latter two as Banx & Ranx.[1] It was originally written about a year and a half before it was released, as a solo song for Lipa; the song did not fit her album at the time, and she wanted it be a collaboration so she ultimately left it off the track list for her eponymous debut studio album (2017).[2] After the album's release, Grimes pitched the song to other singers including Demi Lovato, Britney Spears, and Miley Cyrus, but all turned it down thinking the lyrics were too immature.[3]

On 6 May 2018, Lipa performed a concert in

Sterling Sound in New York City.[1][7]

Following the release of her second studio album, Future Nostalgia in March 2020, Lipa intended to create a mixtape with remixes of songs from the record. She enlisted the help of The Blessed Madonna to create what would eventually become the remix album, Club Future Nostalgia (2020).[8] Lipa wanted to somehow include some of her past collaborations and The Blessed Madonna wanted to introduce a younger crowd to the music of American trumpeter Herb Alpert, by creating an extended version of one of his songs. She took the vocals of "Kiss and Make Up" and parts of Alpert's "Rise" (1979) to create a remix. The Blessed Madonna thought that the two songs were "totally in key" and "a perfect fit." Andy Armer and Randy Alpert are credited on the remix due to elements of "Rise" being used.[9][7]

Music and lyrics

"Kiss and Make Up"
A dance, electropop and reggaeton song, "Kiss and Make Up" makes use of vocoders and bass synths in the production. The lyrics see the two artists singing about using physical affection to solve issues between two lovers.

Musically, "Kiss and Make Up" is a

percussion, and a bouncing backbeat.[15][16][17] The structure includes a vocodered intro, an early-2010s hook and a rhythmic chorus.[15][17]

Lipa begins the song, before Jennie raps in the second

urban roots of remix culture, that uses elements of "Rise" by Herb Alpert, including its bass.[9][7][12][19][20] It was compared to Madonna's 1989 song "Express Yourself".[21]

Release and promotion

"Kiss and Make Up" was first teased in the

Jisoo sang her parts.[26] At the Prudential Center show on 1 May 2019 in Newark, New Jersey, Lipa joined Blackpink to perform the song.[27][28][29] The remix of the song is included on Lipa and The Blessed Madonna's Club Future Nostalgia remix album as the fifteenth track, released on 28 August 2020.[30] It was accompanied by an animated visualizer that features a livestream of a mushroom man dancing on a chair.[31]

Critical reception

Mike Nied of

Idolator praised Blackpink's "commendable performance" and the song's "fierce lines."[16] For Billboard, Jeff Benjamin labelled it an "excellently crafted electro-pop throbber," while Uproxx's Chloe Gilke called it "anthemic pop perfection."[11][27] In NME Rhian Daly named it Blackpink's eighth best song, complimenting the mix of "East meets West," that "elevates the song beyond the typical." He concluded by praising Lipa and Blackpink's chemistry, stating the latter's voices "[bounce] smoothly" off the former's.[18] Writing for Paper, Emlyn Travis complimented how the English and Korean languages "weave together" and declared it "fits seamlessly" within both artist's discographies. She concluded by calling it "undeniably addictive."[17] In O, The Oprah Magazine, Monica Chon praised how the two artist's English and Korean vocals work together "seamlessly," while also opining that it makes a "strong case that language barriers should not be an impediment to enjoying pop music."[32]

Commercial performance

"Kiss and Make Up" debuted and peaked at number 36 on the

Gaon Digital Chart, peaking at number 75.[41][42]

"Kiss and Make Up" spent one week on the US Billboard Hot 100 at number 93, becoming Blackpink's second and Lipa's seventh entry on the chart, with first-week sales of 11,000 downloads and seven million on-demand streams.[43][44] The song additionally entered the top 40 of charts in Austria,[45] Czech Republic,[46] Estonia,[47] Finland,[48] Greece,[49] Hungary,[50] Ireland,[51] New Zealand,[52] Poland,[53] Portugal,[54] Romania,[55] Scotland,[56] Slovakia,[57] Sweden,[58] and Switzerland,[59] as well as Malaysia and Singapore, where it reached the summit.[60][61] It was also awarded respective gold certifications in Italy and Portugal by the Federazione Industria Musicale Italiana (FIMI) and Associação Fonográfica Portuguesa (AFP), for respective track-equivalent sales of 25,000 and 5,000 units.[62][63]
