on March 12, 2010, with the song being released to iTunes on March 22, 2010. During an interview with MTV
about the song, Cosgrove stated that
During the same interview, Cosgrove stated the song actually provided her with the inspiration to title her debut album Sparks Fly, saying that "The reason I ended up naming it Sparks Fly [is because] those are the first two words you hear when you pop my album in." The single was released for official radio airplay on May 11, 2010, while Australia saw the release of the single on July 9, 2010. On June 29, 2010 a remix EP containing three remixes of the song was released for digital download. The first track on the extended play
, the Jason Nevins remix of the song, was released to several US radio stations in the place of the original version.
by several critics, however it also features prominent drums and bass
. Several critics have noted the use of auto-tune used in Cosgrove's voice throughout the song, as well as other tracks on Sparks Fly
. The song's melody runs through a downtempo pop
beat
. The song has been compared to releases by Avril Lavigne
and Miley Cyrus
, among others. The lyrics of the song deal with love and relationships, and the feeling that comes when Cosgrove is kissing her boyfriend. During their review of the single, commonsensemedia stated on the songs lyrics that "Young love can be innocent, sweet, and irrepressible. It can also be incredibly annoying when taken to a super-sweet extreme. That's where we're at with this single. Lovebirds not jaded by love's letdowns can celebrate the purely poppy sounds and Cosgrove's limitless enthusiasm here. The rest of us will be left with a headache from constant eye rolling. After one listen you'll forever understand the meaning of "bubblegum pop."
On the other hand, portraitmagazine praised the songs lyrical content as well as the music, saying "Kissin U was the first single from the album, and it really isn't that bad. It's very bubblegum, but that isn't really all that surprising given Miranda's good girl image and Nickelodeon backing. It's also the only track on the album that she had a hand in writing, so it was a good decision for a single. It allows the record label to see how her fans respond to her music, gauge whether or not they should have more of her own writing on her next album. And it's a good effort for her first released song, though I think it's got some of the weakest vocals on the CD. She'll probably do a lot of cowriting with much more experienced musicians the next time around, which will help her grow as a singer/songwriter if she chooses to continue pursuing music."
but with a rock edge." They also stated the song proves that Cosgrove has potential as a musical artist. Idolator.com also praised the song, as well as compared it to releases by major label artist Kesha
, saying "[Kissin' U] is a zippy if cookie-cutter pop song — not terribly exciting or risky, but with enough listens you’ll find yourself singing along with the chorus. Add some Auto-Tune and maybe throw in a line or two about falling out of the closet without wearing pants, and we could imagine Ke$ha singing it." Popboi.com compared the single to a recent release by Selena Gomez & the Scene
, Naturally
, stating "The first single, ‘Kissin U’ is actually quite a nice pop track, too! It’s not as perfect a pop gem as Selena Gomez and the Scene’s ‘Naturally’ is, but it’s pretty damn close. The melody is really lovely and catchy and the lyrics are just as cute, if tweeny-bopper in nature."
Musicrevies10 had a less than positive opinion about the songs lyrics and music, stating that "Cosgrove's debut single outside of iCarly
and the Nickelodeon machine is Kissin' U, a safe, pop number that's easy on the ears. While Cosgrove is fitting into the pop/rock vibe, if a young pop/rock number is what you want, Disney's Demi Lovato
has far more substance.. and range. Kissin' U plays it safe, and should go on to be a moderate hit, but doesn't break any new ground. But at least it works."
The song ranked number eighty-eight on Bill Lamb's List of Top 100 Songs of 2010.

When she wakes up that morning she looks out the window to see a drawing of a butterfly with images of her and him in the wings on the sidewalk.
