“Blow Me (One Last Kiss)” is a song by American recording artist and songwriter Pink, released as the lead single from P!nk’s forthcoming sixth studio album The Truth About Love, due September 18th 2012.

The song was scheduled for a July 9 premiere but was delivered a week earlier after an initial version was leaked online. Produced by Greg Kurstin (Marina and The Diamonds, Kelly Clarkson), the song was named as “classic P!nk,” and was very well received by music critics who compared it to previous hits by P!nk including “So What” and “Raise Your Glass.” A viral lyric video also premiered in early-mid July 2012.

With “Blow Me (One Last Kiss),” P!nk ranks third among women with most Top 10’s since 2000, behind Rihanna and Beyoncé, with twelve Top 10 hits in the USA, after scoring a massive jump on the Hot 100 during the song’s second week, leaping from #58 to #9 after promotion on the iTunes store.

“Blow Me (One Last Kiss)” is an uptempo pop rock and dance-pop song with dance music influences with a duration of four minutes and 16 seconds, produced by Greg Kurstin. The song begins with some electronic arrangements before evolving into pop rock, basically on instrumentation sampled from the American Indie rock band Modest Mouse’s “Float On.” Jessica Sager commented that “from the harmonies to the rock-style drums to ‘Raise Your Glass’-esque shout-along chorus to the liquor references”, the song is musically “signature Pink”. The song was named as “classic Pink”, with a “swear-jar-worthy chorus” and an “an abrupt key change that only a singer like her could pull off.”

Lyrics for Pink – Blow Me (One Last Kiss)

White knuckles and sweaty palms from hanging on too tight
Clench of jaw, I’ve got another headache again tonight
Eyes on fire, eyes on fire, and the burn from all the tears
I’ve been crying, I’ve been crying, I’ve been dying over you
Tie a knot in the rope, trying to hold, trying to hold,
But there’s nothing to grab so I let go

I think I’ve finally had enough, I think I maybe think too much
I think this might be it for us (blow me one last kiss)
You think I’m just too serious, I think you’re full of sh-t
My head is spinning so (blow me one last kiss)

Just when I think it can’t get worse, I had a sh-t day (no!)
You had a sh-t day (no!), we’ve had a sh-t day (no!)
I think that life’s too short for this
I’ll pack my ignorance and bliss
I think I’ve had enough of this, Blow me on last kiss.

I won’t miss all of the fighting that we always did,
Take it in, I mean what I say when I say there is nothing left
I am sick, whiskey-dick, no more battles for me
You’ll be calling a trick, cause you’ll no longer sleep
I’ll dress nice, I’ll look good, I’ll go dancing alone
I’ll laugh, I’ll get drunk, I’ll take somebody home

I think I’ve finally had enough, I think I maybe think too much
I think this might be it for us (blow me one last kiss)
You think I’m just too serious, I think you’re full of sh-t
My head is spinning so (blow me one last kiss)

Just when I think it can’t get worse, I had a sh-t day (no!)
You had a sh-t day (no!), we’ve had a sh-t day (no!)
I think that life’s too short for this, I’ll pack my ignorance and bliss
I think I’ve had enough of this. Blow me on last kiss.

I will do what I please, anything that I want
I will breathe, I won’t breathe, I won’t worry at all
You will pay for your sins, you’ll be sorry my dear
All the lies, all the wise, will be crystal clear

I think I’ve finally had enough, I think I maybe think too much
I think this might be it for us (blow me one last kiss)
You think I’m just too serious, I think you’re full of sh-t
My head is spinning so (blow me one last kiss)

Just when I think it can’t get worse, I had a sh-t day (no!)
You had a sh-t day (no!), we’ve had a sh-t day (no!)
I think that life’s too short for this, I’ll pack my ignorance and bliss
I think I’ve had enough of this. Blow me one last kiss

Blow me one last kiss
Blow me one last kiss

Just when I think it can’t get worse, I had a sh-t day (no!)
You had a sh-t day (no!), we’ve had a sh-t day (no!)
I think that life’s too short for this, I’ll pack my ignorance and bliss
I think I’ve had enough of this. Blow me one last kiss…
