Kiss is the second studio album by Canadian singer and songwriter Carly Rae Jepsen. It was released on September 14, 2012, by 604, Schoolboy, and Interscope Records. After her debut studio album, Tug of War (2008), Kiss became Jepsen's first internationally released album. Songs on the album are in the nu-disco, dance-pop, and teen pop genres, drawing inspiration from the Cars, Madonna and Robyn. Featuring production from a wide collection of producers including Dallas Austin, Josh Ramsay of Marianas Trench, GoonRock, Max Martin, Toby Gad and Redfoo of LMFAO, the album includes guest vocals from Justin Bieber and Owl City.

Kiss was generally positively reviewed by critics. Critics praised Jepsen for her vocal performance and songwriting, and complimented the album's upbeat production. However, some deemed it immature content for her age, which was 26 at the time. The album debuted at number six on the Billboard 200, selling over 46,000 copies in its opening week and debuted at five on the Canadian Albums Chart. It also charted in numerous international markets, including Europe, Australia, New Zealand, Japan, and the UK, and it has sold more than 1 million copies worldwide as of 2021. The album and its singles earned Jepsen two Grammy Award nominations including Song of the Year, as well as winning Album of the Year and Pop Album of the Year at the Juno Awards of 2013.

Four singles supported Kiss; a massive commercial success "Call Me Maybe" which reached number one in over 15 countries and sold more than 18 million copies worldwide, a collaboration with Owl City "Good Time" which peaked in the top ten of the Billboard Hot 100 alongside topping Jepsen's home chart of the Canadian Hot 100, "This Kiss" which reached top 40 in Canada, and "Tonight I'm Getting Over You". "Almost Said It" and "Picture" were also released as the album's two promotional singles.

The album was promoted with the Summer Kiss Tour, which ran from May 24 to October 12, 2013. She also participated as a supporting act for Justin Bieber's Believe Tour from 2012 to 2013, alongside Cody Simpson, Jaden Smith, The Wanted, and Owl City. She also promoted the album through various televised appearances. Kiss was accompanied with a Japan-exclusive remix album, entitled Kiss: The Remix, which was released on June 12, 2013.

Kiss received generally positive reviews from music critics with an aggregated metascore of 63 of 100 in Metacritic based on 13 reviews.[35]

Heather Phares of AllMusic said: "After a string of fantastical glamazon pop stars like Rihanna, Lady Gaga, and Nicki Minaj, there's something to be said for Jepsen's girl-next-door persona, which helps make Kiss one of 2012's best, and sweetest, pop albums."[36] AllMusic also named Kiss as one of its top 10 albums of 2012 citing its "solid songwriting and fizzy melodies to prove her success [with 2012-defining single 'Call Me Maybe'] wasn't a fluke."[46] Adam Markovitz of Entertainment Weekly noted that the album "makes a mad dash for good-enoughness".[39] Mikael Wood of Los Angeles Times evoked how the album "...feels like a successful attempt to invest pheromone-rush dance pop with a bit of old-soul wisdom."[41] Benjamin Boles of Now proclaimed the album for containing "...two just okay songs and 14 great ones is better than most acts can manage on their greatest hits packages, let alone their second album."[42] Evan Sawdey of PopMatters surmised: "Kiss will not be looked at as one of the all-time great pop albums. Yet song-for-song, Jepsen proves she has more talent than half of the stars out there, managing to not only sell virtually every word on the album but also managing to make it all sound off-the-cuff and effortless, ultimately creating a bubbly pop playground that is both catchy and endearing without having to turn base or crude to get there...If she keeps putting out quality material like virtually all of Kiss, that thankfully will not be the only thing that defines her."[47] Ben Rayner of the Toronto Star complimented it for being "...almost as insidiously easy on the ears", but also criticised its use of the "Call Me Maybe" template: "It's all so bright and immediate and perfectly pleasurable, though, that you don't really realize that you've essentially just listened to the same tune eight times in a row". Rayner ended the review by saying: "Get over the guilt and give in to the pleasure."[48] Brian Mansfield of USA Today said that Carly Rae Jepsen "doesn't always lay herself open the way she does in Call Me Maybe. Much of her album is prefab dance-pop." To this, Mansfield wrote that "There's not another hit like 'Call Me Maybe'. But there's enough substance to ensure she's more than a one-hit wonder."[45]

However, some critics gave Kiss less positive reviews. Jim Farber of the Daily News wrote: "No doubt Jepsen's handlers know this, but they didn't feel they could risk switching things up. Instead, they confined her more than ever, tethering her to a role that renders Kiss this year's most redundant disc."[38] Caroline Sullivan of The Guardian stated: "On this album, her voice is still her Achilles' heel; she's a 26-year-old who sounds 16, and a colourless 16 at that." Sullivan however noted that she liked "Beautiful" the most, which she called a "faux-folk ballad" and "a sweet duet with Justin Bieber [...] that suggests that neither artist is completely irredeemable".[40] Blair Kelly of MusicOMH criticised the album as "a huge disappointment. It could have been a real gem for fans of guilty pleasure pop, but even Taylor Swift comes across as dark and edgy compared to the squeak of this overproduced laziness. Perhaps the global impact of the massive 'Call Me Maybe' is what makes the album as a whole feel like a damp squib, but with or without US Marine parody videos, the rest of the album fizzles out into synth-pop oblivion."[49] Jon Dolan of Rolling Stone said: "... Kiss too often defaults to mediocre dance pop like the Owl City collaboration 'Good Time' – heavy on Disney-fied thump, light on memorable hooks that might highlight her unassuming adorableness."[43] Despite noting Jepsen for "her simplicity and directness", Yorgo Douramacos of Slant Magazine felt "The fact that it's often expressed in seemingly direct, if dramatically overstated, elements should deceive no one. These are mythically complex creatures. Don't believe me? Ask a teenage boy."[44]

In the years since Kiss's release, various publications like Time,[50] MTV,[51] Stereogum,[52] and Billboard[53] have labelled the album as underrated. The album was voted as the 10th best album of 2012 by AllMusic.[54] Oricon in Japan ranked the album at number 63 for the year 2013.[55]
