"Save a Kiss" is the fifth single by English singer-songwriter Jessie Ware from her fourth studio album, What's Your Pleasure? It was released 7 May 2020. It was written by Ware, James Ford, Shungudzo Kuyimbia and Danny Parker. Ford also produced the song.

Background[edit]

The song premiered on Annie Mac's BBC Radio 1 segment Hottest Record on 7 May 2020 as the fifth single off Ware's fourth studio album, What's Your Pleasure?.[6] It was released during the COVID-19 pandemic and Ware explained that the song "has taken on a new meaning during these weird times and it seems like the right time to put it out. This track is an optimistic one for me, I hope it resonates with people wherever they are right now. It's an upbeat song to dance along to and have fun with. I know I've got plenty of kisses I'm saving up for everyone when this is all over."[7][8] Multiple critics compared the song to Robyn's 2018 studio album Honey.[2][9]

Music video[edit]

On 8 May 2020, Ware announced on her Instagram account that there would be a music video accompanying the song. She asked fans to learn the choreography, by Olivier Casamayou, and win the chance to be in the video. Ware and the dancers filmed themselves individually at home because of the COVID-19 pandemic.[10][11] Vicky Lawton directed the video, which was released on 26 May 2020.[12][13]
