"This Kiss" is an up-tempo song where the female narrator expresses the joys of being in love through the act of her lover's kiss.
The song's B-side, "Better Days", was previously recorded by Bekka & Billy, a duo composed of former Fleetwood Mac members Billy Burnette and Bekka Bramlett.
A video was shot to accompany the song, featuring Hill in a colorful fantasy-like sequence. She was featured swinging on a nectarine, jumping from flower to flower, and riding flying bees and butterflies. In her CMT Video Bio, Faith revealed that clothing she tried on and approved for the video just days prior to the shoot, was already too small because of her pregnancy when she arrived on set.
Hill was pregnant with her second daughter Maggie at the time and she was forced to alter her costuming for the video as a result. The video is notable for its extensive use of CGI technology, and won numerous awards for its creativity. A few months after the video's release, Faith (who was further along in her pregnancy by then) performed the song live at the 1998 ACM awards while dancing in a giant flower in the center of the stage, as a tribute.
