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.
