“Kiss My (Uh Oh)” by Anne-Marie and Little Mix
Sampling Lumidee’s “Never Leave You (Uh Oh)”, “Kiss My (Uh Oh)” portrays the freedom after getting out of a toxic relationship and the celebration it deserves.
Verse 1:
Having heard enough lies from their partners, Anne-Marie and Perrie have packed their bags and heading out of the door.
Pre-Chorus:
Leigh-Anne pretty much describes the gist of a toxic relationship in these few lines. When one gives their all to a selfish partner, it often gets looked over. It’s only until they’re gone that they realise their mistakes and “do the most” to get their partners back.
Chorus:
The narrators have had enough at this stage and embrace the liberation from moving away from the toxicity. They’re “not ever looking back” while their partners can watch them walk away and kiss their behinds goodbye.
Verse 2:
When loneliness strikes, it leaves one thinking about a thousand “what if’s”. We see here that the “what if” question the narrators’ ex-partners face now is wondering if the girls were The Ones for them. This leads to them trying every possible way to get them back such as “send(ing) (them) roses every day”.
Does it work, though? No, because it’s probably been done many times on similar incidents that Anne-Marie and Little Mix can see through all the bullsh*t now. In fact, the only good thing their partners did was making them stronger.
