"Good Kisser" is a song by American singer Usher. The single was released on May 5, 2014, by RCA Records. The accompanying music video debuted the same day. The song was written by Andrew Wansel, Bobby Bloom, Jeff Barry, Ronald "Flippa" Colson, Jameel Roberts, Terry Sneed and Warren Felder, with co-writing done by Usher, produced by Pop Wansel and Co-produced by Pop, Ronald "Flippa" Colson, Jproof, Terry "Tru" Sneed, Natural and Oak. "Good Kisser" contains the sample of a cover of Bobby Bloom's song "Montego Bay", which was performed by Foster Sylvers. Originally intended to be the lead single from his eighth studio album, Hard II Love, the song was scrapped from the standard edition track listing, with the track only being included on the Japanese edition of the album.

According to Rolling Stone, the R&B song has lyrics of "praising one particular set of lips", and sets the scene with lots of "specific imagery". In North America, the song reached number 65 on the US Billboard Hot 100 chart, number one on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Airplay chart, and number 14 on the Rhythmic Songs chart. It also charted in Australia, Flanders, France, Germany, the Netherlands and South Korea. "Good Kisser" was ranked at number 2 on Billboard's "10 Best R&B Songs on 2014" list.

"Good Kisser" was supposed to be a track from his upcoming eighth studio album, Flawed, which Usher announced was in the works on March 19, 2013. Talking to The Fader, he described the album as "everything you can imagine", saying that it's "gonna be freaking out of here". In an interview with Eric Bellinger by Rap-Up, the former explained that he, along with Jermaine Dupri, Bryan-Michael Cox, and Brian Alexander Morgan, were working on Usher's next album. Bellinger compared the album's music to Usher's Confessions (2004), saying that it is "more R&B, more urban" than Usher's Looking 4 Myself. The latter declared that his next album would show that he is "still Usher". The official remix features an additional verse from Rick Ross.
