Single Release
The year after the release of the album Sixpence None the Richer, "Kiss Me" was release as a single on August 11, 1998. Exactly 3 months after the debut release of the single, The WB's popular teen drama Dawson's Creek played "Kiss Me" as a background music in two of its episodes from Season 2 (common during the late '90s, TV shows often integrate fresh pop songs to provide dramatic underscore for scenes). "Kiss Me" was later included as the first soundtrack on Songs from Dawson's Creek, released on April 27, 1999 and made #7 on the album charts.
The following year after the single's release, Miramax used "Kiss Me" as the main theme song of its sleeper hit romantic comedy film She's All That, whose runaway box office success helped "Kiss Me" to gather more widespread mainstream attention. "Kiss Me" subsequently climbed to #2 on Billboard's Hot 100 list, and stayed among Top 10 for a consecutive 24 weeks. Later that year, BBC used the song as a closing theme during its broadcast coverage of Prince Edward's royal wedding.
