It was written and produced by Jeff Bhasker and Glass John, with additional writing by Teddy Sinclair and Rihanna. The song was serviced to radio stations in the United States on March 30, 2016, together with " Needed Me ". "Kiss It Better" is a pop , synth-rock and R&B ballad , which features influences from the 1980s and 1990s -music ballads. The song's lyrics focus on a destructive relationship that the singer finds irresistible. It also deals with themes of mending broken fences and getting back together with a lover.

The single received critical acclaim, with critics praising its '80s throwback, lyrics, and Rihanna's vocals. It received a Grammy Award nomination for Best R&B Song at the 59th ceremony . "Kiss It Better" peaked at number 62 on the US Billboard Hot 100 chart and was certified 2× Platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). It also reached number four on the South African radio chart . The song's music video was directed by fashion photographer Craig McDean and premiered on March 31, 2016. The video was inspired by dadaism and surrealism , and depicts Rihanna against a dark background. The song was included on the Anti World Tour setlist as the closing song.

In January 2021, the song gained notoriety again on radio and TikTok with the release of rapper Fat Joe's single, "Sunshine (The Light)" featuring DJ Khaled and amorphous. The song heavily samples the first verse of "Kiss It Better" as its chorus, using Rihanna's vocals.

On December 8, 2014, "Kiss It Better" was registered through Harry Fox Agency , an agency "who handles publishing rights for physical and digital music formats." [1] The same day, Australian FM radio station 2Day FM and other websites reported that the song was allegedly going to be released as the lead single of her then-upcoming eight studio album. [1] [2] A day later, Rihanna teased a snippet of the track on her Instagram account, featuring Extreme 's guitarist Nuno Bettencourt working on a solo electric melody. [3] [4] On July 7, 2015, English singer Teddy Sinclair confirmed she was one of the songwriters of the song. [5]

On December 27, 2015, Glass John, who also co-wrote and co-produced the song, via Twitter expressed his dissatisfaction about the delay of the song's release and its parent album. He eventually leaked a minute-long demo of the song and also described it as "the best damn song." [6] [7] Through her Twitter account, Rihanna confirmed that "Kiss It Better" alongside "Needed Me" were going to be released as the follow-up singles from Anti (2016) and impacted radio on March 30, 2016. [8] She also revealed the artwork for both singles, with the former having a close-up of Rihanna's face and the latter having Rihanna wearing a giant pair of jeans. [9]

"Kiss It Better" was written and produced by Jeff Bhasker and Glass John, while Sinclair and Rihanna provided additional writing. The song was recorded at the Jungle City Studios in New York City. American producer Kuk Harrell provided the vocal recording and vocal production of the song. Blake Mares was responsible for additional recording, while Brendan Morawski was the recording assistant. The mixing of the single was done by Manny Marroquin at the Larrabee Studios in North Hollywood ; Chris Galland and Ike Schultz served as the mixing assistants. Bettencourt played the guitar and Chris Gehringer mastered it at the Sterling Sound Studios in New York City. [10] "Kiss It Better" is a pop , synth-rock and " electro -charged R&B " power ballad [11] [12] [13] [14] [15] that lasts 4 minutes and 13 seconds. [16] It is written in the key of F ♯ major [17] with an andante moderato tempo of 95 beats per minute. [18] It features "deep snaking synths", [19] [20] "gleaming" electric guitar riffs and drums, [21] that were influenced by 1980s and 1990s power ballads. [11] [19]

Lyrically, the song focus on a destructive relationship that the singer knows is wrong for her, but one she finds irresistible, which can be seen in the lines, "Who cares when it feels like crack?." [19] In the chorus, she "hauntingly asks over and over, 'What are you willing to do? / Oh, tell me what you’re willing to do,'" [11] in which she responds, "Kiss it, kiss it better, baby." [21] During the song, she seeks reconciliation from a lover, [15] and "relies on [sex] to smooth over a conflict," singing: "Mmm, do what you gotta do, keep me up all night." [22] Julianne Shepherd of Billboard and Adam R. Holz of Plugged In also noted that the song has themes of sex. [22] [23] Patrick Ryan of USA Today noted that her "sultry, towering vocals call to mind past hits ' Take a Bow ' and ' Cheers (Drink to That) '. [21] Billboard 's Shepherd and Rolling Stone 's Brittany Spanos found similarities between "Kiss It Better" and Prince 's " Purple Rain ", [23] [24] with Bianca Gracie of Idolator agreeing, adding that it also resembles TLC 's " Red Light Special ". [25]

"Kiss It Better" was highly acclaimed by music critics. Brittany Spanos of Rolling Stone called it "the album's most direct pop moment by far," describing it as a "shimmering, funky" track. [24] Jordan Bassett of NME agreed, calling it "the album’s best and most full-bodied track, replete with snaking synths and two swooning, overlapping vocal refrains." [19] AllMusic 's Stephen Thomas Erlewine and USA Today's Patrick Ryan both agreed that the song was an album highlight, [21] [27] with Ryan adding that it was "perhaps Rihanna's best shot at scaling the pop charts with Anti and praised the "effectively catchy" hook. [21] Chris Gerard of PopMatters defined it as "a moment of classic Rihanna—edgy, soulful and confident, complimenting the "sinuous melody" and the "terrific vocal arrangement." [12] Spin 's editors Safy-Hallan Farah and Eve Barlow named it "a highlight" and "as triumphant a Prince jam as it gets" respectively. [26] Zach Bernstein of Pretty Much Amazing observed that the song is "one of ANTI’s best offerings and a pure shot of old-school Rihanna—a stuttering, hypnotic beat, complimented [ sic ] by a hard-rock guitar riff and an innuendo about as subtle as a sledgehammer." [28]

Corbin Reiff of The A.V. Club was very positive with the "gorgeous array of ’80s power rock electric guitar lines," [29] with Bianca Gracie of Idolator sharing the same sentiment, writing that "th[e] heartbreaking electric guitar riff alone deserves a couple of future nominations," and labelled it "one of the strongest tracks off ANTI" and "all-around beautifully intimate." [25] Jeff Benjamin of Fuse also commended the "mesmerizing electric guitar riff." [11] For Alexis Petridis , a writer of The Guardian , "Kiss It Better" is the "closest it comes to the stuff that Stargate or Sia Furler have sold her in the past," due to the "ineffaceable chorus." [30] Jon Caramanica of The New York Times considered it "an ostentatious sex jam" and "one of several songs on 'Anti' on which Rihanna's singing takes center stage." [14] In a positive note, Nolan Feeney of Time went on to call it a "stellar slow-jam [that] opens with a guitar solo straight out of the ‘80s, but if today’s high school seniors are smart, they'll put this on their prom playlists." [31] Jessica McKinney of Vibe appreciated the track due to "the rock-inspired vibe [and] the desperation in her voice that makes the song feel so heavy and ultimately enjoyable." [32] Claire Lobenfeld of Fact defended the song for being "one of many examples of how Rihanna has refined her ability to do romantic despondency wit
