The change of title and music video went against copyright terms, and Des'ree's publishers filed a lawsuit against Beyoncé and her representatives.
The string instruments were arranged by Craig Armstrong, while Andy Todd and Jim Abbiss engineered the record.
[12] In a review of Supernatural for Entertainment Weekly, Considine later commended the "throaty emotionalism" with which Des'ree sang "Kissing You".
"[14] The Richmond Times-Dispatch's Kate Lipper called the record "an excellent slow song that you can play nonstop".
"[17] "Kissing You" debuted on the Australian ARIA Singles Chart at number 42 on the week ending 9 March 1997.
[19] In 2013 Abbey Clancy waltzed to "Kissing You" on the 11th series of Strictly Come Dancing,[20] and the song reentered the UK Singles Chart at number 91.
Towards the end of the video, some of the final scenes of the film are displayed, and the building that Des'ree is in is illuminated through the windows.
[23] "Kissing You" was covered by American R&B singer Beyoncé, included on the 2007 deluxe edition of her second studio album, B'Day.
[25] Des'ree's publishers, the Royalty Network, filed a lawsuit against Sony BMG, Sony BMG Sales Enterprise, Beyoncé, B-Day Publishing and EMI April Music, claiming that Beyoncé's cover of the song infringed copyright conditions.
Nevertheless, the album was released on 3 April 2007; the Royalty Network considered the action "willful disregard", and retracted their permission to use the song.
[30] Later reissues of the albums did not include "Still in Love (Kissing You)" and its video, with "If" replacing the track on the B'Day deluxe edition.
[33] Beyoncé's father and manager, Mathew Knowles, stated that his daughter did not know about the copyright issues prior to the legal action, and that recording artists rarely involve themselves with such matters.
