Music video by One Direction performing, Kiss You. 2013- Simco Limited under exclusive licence to Sony Music Entertainment UK Limited.  It was released as the record's second single in Germany and the third overall single on February 8, 2013. The song was composed by Kristoffer Fogelmark, Kristian Lundin, Albin Nedler, Savan Kotecha, Shellback and its producers, Carl Falk and Rami Yacoub. "Kiss You" is an upbeat power pop song withelectronic effects; the lyrics detail a protagonist's infatuation with a significant other. Critics praised the song for its production, calling it a stand-out track on Take Me Home.
Personally, I feel this video was successful because of the artists and the video itself. The clip depicts the band shooting various scenes via a green screen, which include sequences reminiscent of iconic music videos of songs such as the Beach Boys' "Surfer Girl", Elvis Presley's "Jailhouse Rock" and Rammstein’s "Mein Land".  One the other hand, in the words of Richard Dyer who believes that stars are manufactured to make money for their record labels by appealing to target audiences. For example: boy bands such as one Direction are made to appeal to the younger audience, which makes them more successful.
