The song also peaked at number one on the Dance Club Songs chart.[1]

Background

In an interview with Capital FM, Nathan said, "It just came around, when we were out just outside of London in the countryside, I was working with LDN Noise and we were just chatting about nonsense and I just said, I'm really bad at flirting, honestly. Revealed during his shoot for Schön magazine. "So we wrote a song that can flirt for me, it's as simple as that. "Obviously with the album there are songs that are a lot deeper lyrically and a lot are very personal to me about relationship and things that I've gone through and this was just as simple. We were just laughing and joking about the fact that I can't flirt. So that's what we wrote "Kiss Me Quick" about and it ended up being my debut single."[2]

Live performances

Sykes performed the song live for the first time on 8 April 2015 at O2 ABC Glasgow.[3] In June 2015, he performed an acoustic version of the song in a special session for Shazam.[4]

Music video

A music video to accompany the release of "Kiss Me Quick" was first released onto YouTube on 21 May 2015 at a total length of three minutes and eighteen seconds.[5] Talking about the video Nathan said, "I had a very clear vision for the video and worked with Emil to develop the idea. It was important to me to highlight the musicality of the track because "Kiss Me Quick" has such a big, brass sound and I wanted that to be a focus, I'm really happy with the result!".[6]
