"Blow Me (One Last Kiss)" is a song by American singer-songwriter Pink from her sixth studio album, The Truth About Love (2012). Pink wrote the song with its producer Greg Kurstin. The song was released as the lead single from the album on July 2, 2012, by RCA Records, shortly after a demo version leaked on to the internet. It is an uptempo electropop song with synthesizers, keyboards, and bass drums as part of the instrumentation. Lyrically, it finds Pink reflecting on past relationships and life situations.

The song received generally positive reviews from music critics, who praised the production. Some complimented its lyrics and anthemic nature, with comparisons being drawn to Kelly Clarkson's music. Commercially, "Blow Me (One Last Kiss)" attained success, peaking at number five on the US Billboard Hot 100 and becoming Pink's 12th top-10 single on the chart. The song topped the charts in Australia, Hungary, and Scotland, while peaking within the top-10 in other countries, including Canada, Germany, and the United Kingdom. The song has received several certifications, including being certified quintuple platinum in Australia by the Australian Recording Industry Association (ARIA).

The accompanying music video was directed by Dave Meyers and released on July 26, 2012. It depicts Pink taking revenge and crashing the wedding of a former lover. To promote The Truth About Love, the singer performed the song on several occasions, including the 2012 MTV Video Music Awards. Pink included "Blow Me (One Last Kiss)" on the set lists for two of her world tours, The Truth About Love Tour (2013–2014) and the Beautiful Trauma World Tour (2018–2019) and Summer Carnival Tour (2023–2024) and the Trustfall Tour (2023-2024)

Background and development

While conceiving The Truth About Love, Pink worked with longtime collaborator Greg Kurstin, who had previously contributed to her fourth studio album I'm Not Dead (2006).[2] Pink commented on the experience of reuniting with Kurstin, saying she was keen on working with him again and waited for the right opportunity.[2] "Blow Me (One Last Kiss)" was developed from a nine-day songwriting session between Pink and Kurstin.[3] Upon hearing the instrumental composition, Pink felt inspired and started penning the song's lyrics.[2] She pictured herself "at 2 a.m., in New York, dancing, drunk, letting off steam [with] all [her] punk-rock friends" while they sang along.[4]

In an interview with Billboard, Kurstin revealed that he and the singer faced difficulty in coming up with a title for the track, which also had different lyrics.[3][5] He detailed, "[Pink] kept coming back to 'Let's throw in the towel,' and it was one of those things where we had to say, 'Is that line really the song?'"[3] Kurstin later suggested using the phrase "Blow me … one last kiss", which ignited her interest.[3] The writing and recording process was completed over the course of one day in 2012.[3][6] Prior to the song's release, Pink considered titling it "Blow Me", but RCA Records added the bracketed "One Last Kiss" to avoid a double entendre.[4][5]

Musically, "Blow Me (One Last Kiss)" is an upbeat electropop song.[7] It has a length of four minutes and fifteen seconds (4:15).[8] The song's instrumentation incorporates synthesizers, keyboards, bass drums, guitars, and sirens.[9][10][11] Marc Hogan of Spin and Jonathan Bogart of The Atlantic both noted similarities between "Blow Me (One Last Kiss)" and Modest Mouse's 2004 song "Float On", referring to the "punchy" rock riffs used.[7][12] Musicnotes.com published this song in the key of G major and set in the time signature of common time with a moderate tempo of 116 beats per minute.[13] The verses have a G6–G–Bm–Em–C chord progression, and the chorus follows a G–Bm–Em7–C sequence.[13] Pink's vocal range spans from E3 to G5.[13]

Various contemporary critics viewed the song as a breakup anthem.[5][14][15] Helena De Bertodano of The Daily Telegraph summed the song up as an "angry, defiant ode to the implosion of a relationship".[16] Greg Kot of the Chicago Tribune characterized "Blow Me (One Last Kiss)" as "bittersweet" and described the song as a representation of "heart-break, exasperation and [Pink's] desire to move on" from a relationship.[14] On a similar note, Andrew Hampp from Billboard wrote that the song "finds the singer contemplating the end of her tumultuous 10-year relationship" with her husband Carey Hart.[17]

Pink explained that the lyrics were partly inspired by the year-long separation from her husband, as well as feeling frustrated over different situations in love or life.[2][18][19] The opening lines, "White knuckles / And sweaty palms from hangin' on too tight / Clenched shut jaw / I've got another headache again tonight", describe self-destructive behavior and people's fear of losing something important.[16][18][20] The chorus finds Pink singing "I think I finally had enough / I think I maybe think too much / I think this might be it for us / Blow me one last kiss" over a "pumping" pop beat.[9]

On June 19, 2012, Pink announced "Blow Me (One Last Kiss)" as the lead single from The Truth About Love, confirming that it would be released on July 9.[21][22] However, the demo version of the song leaked onto the Internet one week ahead of schedule.[9] In response, the release date had to be pushed forward.[23] "Blow Me (One Last Kiss)" was released for streaming via Pink's website on July 2, 2012,[5][23] and for digital download in various countries the following day, through RCA Records.[8] In Germany, the song was released for digital download and serviced to contemporary hit radio stations on July 6, 2012, through Sony Music.[24] It impacted US hot adult contemporary and contemporary hit radio on July 10, 2012.[25][26] A CD single version of the song was released in Australia and Germany on July 27, 2012, by Sony Music.[27][28] The release of "Blow Me (One Last Kiss)" was delayed in the United Kingdom. RCA Records distributed the song to UK mainstream radio stations on August 22, 2012, before releasing it for digital download on August 31, 2012.[29][30]

Upon release, "Blow Me (One Last Kiss)" was met with generally positive reviews from music critics. In her review of The Truth About Love, Sarah Grant from Consequence of Sound compared the song to Kelly Clarkson's 2009 single, "My Life Would Suck Without You", and noted that Pink "has a special knack for filtering the current trend through her own musical lens".[31] Hogan applauded the song's catchiness and the "mix of bawdiness and earnestness".[7] Writing for MTV News, Jocelyn Vena highlighted the song's "anthemic chorus" and "lyrical edge", further commenting that it contains "the signature girl-power sass that Kelly frequently has on her own tracks".[9] While reviewing the album, USA Today's writer Elysa Gardner praised the song's lyrics for portraying "a blunt, graphic assessment of a failed relationship".[32] In his review of the song, Andrew Hampp of Billboard awarded a rating of 85 out of 100 and deemed it as a return to form, and an "empowering breakup anthem in the vein of 'So What'".[15] Hampp later opined that "Blow Me (One Last Kiss)" captures the essence of The Truth About Love.[17]

The Guardian's Caroline Sullivan lauded it as an "irresistible, hobnailed kiss-off".[33] Bogart spotlighted "Blow Me (One Last Kiss)" among instances where "Pink's rock fetish remains as strong as ever".[12] Tanner Stransky of Entertainment Weekly viewed the song's lyrics as "sharp" and described its music direction as "something that Clarkson could have featured on her own album".[34] Similarly, Melissa Maerz from the same publication gave "Blow Me (One Last Kiss)" a B+ rating and positively compared it to Clarkson's 2004 song "Since U Been Gone".[35] Robert Copsey of Digital Spy selected the song as an example for "[putting] to bed any notion that [Pink] lost her sense of humour or the ability to laugh at herself".[10] In a mixed review, Sal Cinquemani from Slant Magazine commended the song's "catchy" production, but criticized Pink for "playing it safe".[36]

The music video for "Blow Me (One Last Kiss)" was directed by Pink's longtime collaborator Dave Meyers and filmed at Malibu Creek State Park, California.[57] It is entirely in black and white, with splashes of red.[58] According to Meyers, the video is based on a "French countryside love story".[57] Sebastian de la Forza appears in the video as Pink's love interest.[59] It premiered via MTV on July 26, 2012.[60] A colored version was also released on August 30, 2012.[61]
