About Kiss & Tell

"Kiss & Tell" is a song by the American rock band, Angels & Airwaves. The song was released on August 29, 2019, as a promotional single for the band's 2019 North American Tour, and was confirmed by Tom DeLonge to not be the second single from the band's album, Lifeforms, but does appear on the album. The song was written by DeLonge, Ilan Rubin, and Aaron Rubin.

Many months before its release, small portions of "Kiss & Tell" were originally used as promotional music for the band to tease the release of their previous single, Rebel Girl, and the announcement of their 2019 North American Tour on their social media profiles. While it hadn't been confirmed as a song from the album yet, DeLonge briefly discussed the song in an interview with Rolling Stone, feeling that it could have "lived on the I-Empire and We Don’t Need to Whisper records." The song's lyrics address doing something dangerous or something a person knows they shouldn't be doing, all while feeling nothing but excitement from their actions. DeLonge specifically cites The Beach Boys as his main influence, stating he "wanted to create a sound that had electronic elements right alongside classic rock and pop punk melodic structures.
