"Kick Ass" is a song recorded by Bryan Adams. It was released as the third single from the album, So Happy It Hurts, on December 9, 2021.[1][2]

Background[edit]

The song has a strong rock connotation and was written and composed by Adams and Robert John "Mutt" Lange.[3] "Kick Ass" also features a spoken word introduction, recorded by John Cleese: "In the beginning, God created the heavens and the Earth, then he created the waters and the land, and then he created man", Cleese says in his introduction. "But man degenerated and descended into the black hole of creating bad music… There was no rock music!"[1]

Adams said, "'Kick Ass' begins with an introductory sermon by John Cleese that sums up the song. There is not enough rock and roll in the world… period! More guitars, more drums, let's clap our hands… let's rock!"[1]

The song premiered as the opening of Adams' concerts November 10-20, 2021, at Encore TheaterinLas Vegas.[citation needed]
