Music Video
The music video for "My First Kiss" was filmed in New York City by director, Isaac Ravishankara.[3] The song's music video is relative to the song's theme: kissing.[2] Foreman explained, "[And] the video is a play on kissing in general, and lips, and getting close up to a bunch of lips, and people coming out of mouths and just, like, really cool transitions."[2] The video follows a similar theme that is relative to the song's title, "My First Kiss". It features a lot of people (punks, teachers, sailors, soldiers, lesbians, nerds, an elderly couple and hirsute rockers) "smooching, kissing, and making out."[17] The video is made up of different scenes all using multi-colored backdrops as the video's dominant backing. The main scenes present are of "3OH!3 bouncing around and throw[ing] punches at the camera"[17] while singing their versus and occasional close-ups of different pairs of lips that are mouthing different lyrics of the song. Kesha is also present throughout the video, mainly on her verses where she is seen in close-ups of her lips and dancing around the screen on the chorus. At the end, the camera quickly zooms out to reveal that 3OH!3 are inside Ke$ha's mouth. She then eats them before kissing at the camera. James Montgomery from MTV News reviewed the video for "My First Kiss" positively. Montgomery commented on how simple the song's video was but noted that wasn't a negative, he commented, "like pretty much everything 3OH!3 do, there's an undeniable charm to both the song and the video. Perhaps it's the power-tool chorus, or the "ooh-ooh-ooh" vocal harmonies. Maybe it's Kesha's sexy ass. Or maybe I just like watching a whole bunch of people lock lips. The whole thing is a lot of fun. It gets in your head. And hey, it's the summer — school's out, and gleefully stupid is in."
Notes
This is the first single from Colorado electronic duo 3OH!3's third studio album, titled Streets of Gold. The song features pop singer Kesha. The song was debuted on the band's website at 3:03 PM EST on May 3 2010. 3OH!3's Sean Foreman told MTV News: "The song is about a girl you really like, and the story line of going through your first kiss with a girl to exploring further parts of the relationship." Foreman told MTV News about the song's music video: "The video is a play on kissing in general, and lips, and getting close up to a bunch of lips, and people coming out of mouths and just, like, really cool transitions." The 3Oh!3 duo also collaborated with Kesha on her hit single "Blah Blah Blah." This song was recorded first and was actually the backdrop for the first meeting between them. Foreman told MTV news how he and bandmate Nathaniel Motte were first introduced to the "TiK ToK" singer. He recalled: "We were working with our buddy Benny Blanco and Dr. Luke [on 'Kiss'], and we had a line for the song. It's kind of a call and response, and Luke's like, 'I know this girl.' We worked with her and we got a friendship since then." Foreman discussed working with Kesha in an interview with UK's Channel 4 TV station: "What basically happened was, about two years ago, we were working on My First Kiss. I wrote the first tag line and we thought it would be cool if it was a guy and a girl response. The producer was working with Kesha at the time and brought it in. She was a little bit overly aggressive and a little bit crazy. For me, she's cool and she came straight from dodgeball practice and I just thought she was a kooky girl living in LA. But then her career jumped off and it's crazy listening to her music. Basically, the production and songs are her style. She asked us to work on Blah Blah Blah and it's been a good relationship. Whenever she's around, we hang out and it's cool to see her work."
My first kiss went a little like this [Kiss] and twist [kiss kiss] and twist [Ke$ha:] Well my first kiss went a little like this [Kiss] and twist [kiss kiss] and twist I said no more teachers and no more books I got a kiss under the bleachers hopin' that nobody looked Lips like licorice, tongue like candy Excuse me miss, but can I get you out your panties? In the back of the car On the way to the bar I got you on my lips (I got you on my lips) At the foot of the stairs With my fingers in your hair, baby this is it... [Chorus:] She won't ever get enough Once she gets a little touch If I had it my way You know that I'd make her say Ooooooooooooooh Ooooooooooooooh She won't ever get enough Once she gets a little touch If I had it my way You know that I'd make her say Ooooooooooooooh Ooooooooooooooh [Ke$ha:] My first kiss went a little like this... I said no more sailors and no more soldiers With your name in a heart tattooed upon their shoulders Kisses like whiskey, it gets me drunk And I wake up in the morning with the taste of your tongue In the back of the car On the way to the bar I got you on my lips (I got you on my lips) At the foot of the stairs With my fingers in your hair, baby this is it... [Chorus:] She won't ever get enough Once she gets a little touch If I had it my way You know that I'd make her say Ooooooooooooooh Ooooooooooooooh She won't ever get enough Once she gets a little touch If I had it my way You know that I'd make her say Ooooooooooooooh Ooooooooooooooh My first kiss went a little like this [Kiss] and twist [kiss kiss] and twist Well my first kiss went a little like this [Kiss] and twist [kiss kiss] and twist Yeah, she won't ever get enough Once she gets a little touch If I had it my way You know that I'd make her say... Ooooooooooooooh [Chorus:] She won't ever get enough Once she gets a little touch If I had it my way You know that I'd make her say Ooooooooooooooh Ooooooooooooooh She won't ever get enough Once she gets a little touch If I had it my way You know that I'd make her say Ooooooooooooooh Ooooooooooooooh She won't ever get enough Once she gets a little touch If I had it my way You know that I'd make her say...
