Backgroud[]
In an interview with Capital FM, Nathan said, "It just came around, when we were out just outside of London in the countryside, I was working with LDN Noise and we were just chatting about nonsense and I just said, I'm really bad at flirting, honestly. Revealed during his shoot for Schön magazine. "So we wrote a song that can flirt for me, it's as simple as that. "Obviously with the album there are songs that are a lot deeper lyrically and a lot are very personal to me about relationship and things that I've gone through and this was just as simple. We were just laughing and joking about the fact that I can't flirt. So that's what we wrote "Kiss Me Quick" about and it ended up being my debut single."
Live performances[]
Sykes performed the song live for the first time on 8 April 2015 at O2 ABC Glasgow. In June 2015, he performed an acoustic version of the song in a special session for Shazam.

A music video to accompany the release of "Kiss Me Quick" was first released onto YouTube on 21 May 2015 at a total length of three minutes and eighteen seconds. Talking about the video Nathan said, "I had a very clear vision for the video and worked with Emil to develop the idea.

Lyrics[]
Baby I've been searching
Searching through these crowds
To make my find someone who knows what I'm about
All these excuses, too young to settle down
So it's crazy what you got me doing now
Hold up baby
You know you drive me crazy
And I want everybody to know
I'm down
Nobody's looking right now
Ain't not time for messing around
But it won't take a minute
Baby come kiss me quick
The satire feeling right here
Make this unforgettable
Baby come kiss me quick
No we don't know what tomorrow's gonna bring
So don't put the pause when giving everything
You got me hooked on your VDA
Wait a minute, wait a minute
Before you go away
Hold up baby
You know you drive me crazy
And I want everybody to know
I'm down
Nobody's looking right now
Ain't not time for messing around
But it won't take a minute
Baby come kiss me quick
The satire feeling right here
Make this unforgettable, yeah
Baby come kiss me quick
Kiss me quick baby
Kiss me quick baby
Kiss me quick baby
Baby come kiss me quick
Put your lips right here
Then your body will follow
Put your hands on my face
Don't worry about tomorrow
Make sure you're feeling that magic
Before you disappear
You got me baby, you got me baby
I'm down
Nobody's looking right now
Ain't not time for messing around
But it won't take a minute
Baby come kiss me quick
The satire feeling right here
Make this unforgettable, yeah
Baby come kiss me quick
Kiss me quick baby
Kiss me quick baby
Kiss me quick baby
Baby come kiss me quick
