"Blow Me (One Last Kiss)" is a song by American recording artist and songwriter Pink, released as the lead single from her sixth studio album, The Truth About Love (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, the song was critically acclaimed and named as "classic Pink". With "Blow Me (One Last Kiss)", at the time Pink ranked third among women with the most top tens since 2000, behind Rihanna and Beyoncé, with twelve top ten hits in the United States. The song scored a massive jump on the Hot 100 during its second week, leaping from number 58 to number 9 after promotion on the iTunes Store. The music video for "Blow Me (One Last Kiss)" features a black and white picture and was directed by longtime collaborator Dave Meyers who directed almost half of her career's 33 videos. It premiered on July 26, 2012 on MTV and VEVO.
In March 2013, "Blow Me (One Last Kiss)" competed in Billboard Magazine's online March Madness poll. The song came in third behind will.i.am and Britney Spears' "Scream & Shout" and Kelly Clarkson's "Stronger (What Doesn't Kill You)". Its success also led to its appearance as the opening song of the 44th release of the American series of Now That's What I Call Music!
On October 7, 2011, RCA Music Group announced that it would be disbanding Jive Records, along with Arista and J Records. With the shutdown, Pink and all other artists previously signed to the labels, would release any future material through RCA Records. In 2011, Joe Riccitelli, an executive with the label, announced that Pink was preparing to enter the studio to begin work on her sixth studio album, to be released in September 2012. On February 29, 2012, Pink took to her Twitter account and confirmed that she is currently in the writing process for her new record. On June 19, 2012, Pink announced via a video on Twitter that the first single from her upcoming album will be called "Blow Me (One Last Kiss)" and that it would be released on July 9, 2012. She added, "I think you're going to like it, because I really like it, and I like it enough for all of us." However, the demo version of the song leaked on July 1, 2012, a week before its scheduled release. The next day, it was released via Pink's official page and her YouTube account. On July 4, 2012, Pink announced that her sixth studio album will be titled The Truth About Love.
