"Kiss This" is a song by English rock band the Struts. It was released April 7, 2014, as the second single from their debut studio album Everybody Wants . The song began to climb the charts in America in 2015 and 2016 causing an increase in popularity. Lyrically, the song recalls a personal experience of lead vocalist Luke Spiller, whose girlfriend at the time had been cheating on him with one of his close friends. He was not particularly fond of the idea of the song indulging in self-pity. [1] [2] Instead, the band uses power riffs and an in-your-face chorus. Due to this shift in perspective, the song became a liberating anthem about standing up on your own two feet. [2] [3] The band describes "Kiss This" as having a typical rock and roll progression. For the song, the band took the feeling of the Rolling Stones' song "Sympathy for the Devil" and mixed a hip-hop element in it. [4] The band believes the song is their version of a ‘Young Hearts Run Free’-type song but in a rock mentality. [5]
The second music video was released on 8 February 2016. [6]

"Warped" is a song by the American alternative rock group Red Hot Chili Peppers, from their 1995 album, One Hot Minute. It was released as the first single from the album. It is the first track on One Hot Minute, beginning with an unusually quiet intro, before suddenly kicking into a very heavy, crunching riff, and ends with a mellow, melodic outro. Anthony Kiedis' vocals are distorted and echoed throughout, and contrast dramatically with the rapping present on the band's previous material, especially on their more fast-paced songs such as this; short lines are stretched to fill an entire measure. The musical style is of an unpredictable and unsettling nature, which is generally maintained throughout the entire album. The lyrics describe Kiedis' confused feelings about drugs, starting already in the first lines with: "my tendency/for dependency/is offending me".
