[2] Lovato played the then-unreleased song "Kiss" at several parties, including at the Loose club in Los Angeles, an album-themed Paper launch party, and at the Silencio club in Paris, France. [3]

Lovato announced the release of "Kiss" on October 8, 2025, with a cryptic post captioned "let's kiss... friday".

Reception

Billboard 's Stephen Daw included "Kiss" on their Queer Jams of the Week list, and described it as an electropop track that aligns with the theme of the album: "Demi is here to have a good time, period." The critic found resemblance with the "carefree vibes" of Lovato's songs "Really Don't Care" (2014) and "Cool for the Summer" (2015), "but this time with her tongue firmly planted in her cheek and her lips curled into a smirk". [8]
