Composition

"Kiss Me" is a song with a length of three minutes and eighteen seconds.[2] Samantha Oneil of Renowned for Sound wrote that the song has a mid-tempo beat and a retro sound accompanied with "enticingly catchy lyrics".[8] She described the composition of the single as a combination of Murs' "uplifting fast moving" past singles like "Troublemaker" and "Up" and "his emotionally powered ballads" like "Dear Darlin'".[8] According to her, "The song manages to keep an authentic Olly Murs sound about it while also finding new ground."[8] Idolator's Robbie Daw compared "Kiss Me" to the 2014 single by Nick Jonas, "Jealous".[9]
