"The Kiss of Venus" is a song by the English musician Paul McCartney from his 2020 album McCartney III and later remixed by Dominic Fike on McCartney III Imagined.[1]
Background
McCartney once stated during an interview with CBS News: "On one of the songs off the new album, called 'Kiss of Venus,' I wrote it one summer's day, and I got the beginning of it – The Kiss of Venus, da, da, da, da – and I thought, 'Oh, that's OK, I'll record it, I'll finish it someday.' But then I said to myself, 'No, what have you got? You haven't got anything on [right now]. Sit here and finish that bloody song!"[2]
Promotion
The song was previewed before McCartney III's release on 19 November 2020.[3] To celebrate the third anniversary of McCartney III, titled McCartney III 3x3, the set featured a lyric draft of the song.[4]
