"Kiss the Stars" is a song by English singer Pixie Lott from her second studio album, Young Foolish Happy (2011). The song was released digitally in the United Kingdom on 29 January 2012 as the album's third and final single. The dance-pop song was written by Lott in collaboration with its producers Mads Hauge and Phil Thornalley. "Kiss the Stars" received mainly negative reviews from contemporary critics who criticised the song's lyrics and close similarities to Katy Perry's "Firework" but praised its catchiness and dance-pop rhythms. The song peaked at number eight on the UK Singles Chart.

The song has been accompanied by a futuristic-themed music video, which was released on 10 January 2012. The video was met with mainly positive reviews. It features Lott dancing alongside CGI robots and dancers, sporting funky hairstyles and outfits that resemble those of American recording artist Madonna. Lott has promoted the single by performing it at the Jingle Bell Ball, The National Lottery and the seventh series of Dancing on Ice.

"Kiss the Stars" was written by Lott in collaboration with the track's producers Mads Hauge and Phil Thornalley. The trio previously worked together on Lott's number-one singles "Mama Do (Uh Oh, Uh Oh)" and "Boys and Girls".

"Kiss the Stars" has received mainly negative reviews, being criticised lyrically and for being too similar to the singles released by American singer Katy Perry. Fraser McAlpine of the BBC said that the song is essentially Perry's "Firework" (2010). While Ian Gittins of Virgin Media felt that the song "apes Katy Perry down to its nudge-nudge lyrics: 'When you turn it on, I can go for hours.'" The song was negatively reviewed by Alex Jackson of The Yorker who called it "cheesy centric" and "a track one may expect at a 5 year-old's birthday party."
