The Truth about “Kiss”

92.9 The Torch | March 28, 2025



Prince’s song “Kiss” is an undeniable classic, but did he actually write it? It was his third number one single, released in 1986, and it gave his already substantial career new life. It’s got that iconic guitar riff, a danceable feel, and it’s so good.. but did he actually write it though?

Today I’m talking all about Prince’s hit song “Kiss”, how different it was when it started, how it became a classic, and answering the question of who actually wrote it.
