Kiss was the first single to be released from Prince’s eighth album Parade, the third and final album credited to Prince and the Revolution, and was released seven weeks before the album’s release. The title track includes an additional ending not included on the album version (which cuts directly into Anotherloverholenyohead). The b-side, ♥ Or $, is unique to this release.
The single became Prince’s third US Billboard Pop Chart number 1 single (following When Doves Cry and Let’s Go Crazy). It also reached number 1 on the Billboard Black Chart.
