Wear My Kiss

"Wear My Kiss" is a song by British girl group Sugababes, released as the third and final single from their seventh studio album, Sweet 7 (2010).

The Sugababes performed "Wear My Kiss" at the Fight Cervical Cancer in Style fundraising event, on Eurovision: Your Country Needs You, and at Chester Rocks in 2011.

The Sugababes travelled Los Angeles and New York City in April 2009 to work on their seventh studio album Sweet 7 (2010).

[2] Dave Pensado mixed "Wear My Kiss" at Larrabee Sound Studios in North Hollywood, California; AJ Nunez was the assistant.

[4] The chorus features a chanted 'da-da-da' hook,[3][5] which according to Al Fox of BBC Music is evocative of the group's 2003 single "Hole in the Head".

[6] Andy Gill of The Independent noted that the song sees the Sugababes "effectively subjugated to the status of accessories"; lyrically, the singers compare themselves to a [tie, watch and shoes of a man's outfit.

[15] During an interview with David Balls of Digital Spy, group member Heidi Range explained the reason for the song's release as the album's third single, saying: "It's had a really good response from radio and our fans on the website.

[6] Alice Wyllie of The Scotsman and David Balls of Digital Spy called the song radio-friendly, while the latter described it as "more comfortably more Sugababes-sounding" than the group's previous two singles, "Get Sexy" and "About a Girl".

[3] A writer from Daily Record shared a similar opinion, writing: "The big chanted hook won't go away once it's in your head".

[18] Andy Gill of The Independent regarded "Wear My Kiss" as one of the album's better tracks and noted that it practices "a craven form of extreme self-objectification".

[7] Caroline Sullivan of The Guardian noted that while the album was significantly Americanised, "Wear My Kiss" had "escaped with some quirky Britishness intact".

[19] Khaleej Times wrote that the song proves the Sugababes are "feisty and seductive as ever" and elaborated, "the cut-glass industrialism of the backing track belies the dedication of the trio to the permanent touchpoints of pop music".

[8] Johnny Dee of Virgin Media named it one of Sweet 7's standout tracks but in contrary felt that "trimmed of their former member's vocals could be by absolutely anyone".

[21] A critic from The Visitor regarded "Wear My Kiss" as "limp" in comparison to the group's older material which he described as "feisty, sassy pop".

[23] "Wear My Kiss" debuted and peaked at number seven on the UK Singles Chart for the issue dated 6 March 2010, with sales of 38,209.

[30] The song's commercial performance throughout Europe allowed it to appear on the European Hot 100 Singles chart, where it peaked at number 27.

[36]The music video begins with Amelle Berrabah singing the first verse, in which objects appear in the background in reference to the lyrics, including a gold tie and silver watch.

[42] The Sugababes performed "Wear My Kiss" at Chester Rocks on 2 July 2011 as part of a set list, which included their number one singles "Freak like Me", "Hole in the Head" and "Push the Button".
