Music Video[]

The music video for "My First Kiss" was filmed in New York by director, Isaac Ravishankara. The song's music video is relative to the song's theme: kissing. Foreman explained, "[And] the video is a play on kissing in general, and lips, and getting close up to a bunch of lips, and people coming out of mouths and just, like, really cool transitions." The video follows a similar theme that is relative to the song's title, "My First Kiss". It features a lot of people (geriatrics, punks, teachers, sailors, soldiers, lesbians, nerds and hirsute rockers) "smooching, kissing, and making out." The video is made up of different scenes all using multi-colored backdrops as the video's dominant backing. The main scenes present are of "3OH!3 bouncing around and throw[ing] punches at the camera" while singing their versus and occasional close-ups of different pairs of lips that are mouthing different lyrics of the song. Kesha is also present throughout the video, mainly on her verses where she is seen in close-ups of her lips and dancing around the screen on the chorus.

James Montgomery from MTV News reviewed the video for "My First Kiss" positively. Montgomery commented on how simple the song's video was but noted that wasn't a negative, he commented, "like pretty much everything 3OH!3 do, there's an undeniable charm to both the song and the video. Perhaps it's the power-tool chorus, or the "ooh-ooh-ooh" vocal harmonies. Maybe it's Kesha's sexy ass. Or maybe I just like watching a whole bunch of people lock lips. The whole thing is a lot of fun. It gets in your head. And hey, it's the summer — school's out, and gleefully stupid is in."

Lyrics[]

[3oh!3:] My first kiss went a little like this [Kiss] and twist [kiss kiss] and twist


[Ke$ha:] Well my first kiss went a little like this [Kiss] and twist [kiss kiss] and twist

I said no more teachers and no more books
I got a kiss under the bleachers hopin' that nobody looked
Lips like licorice, tongue like candy
Excuse me miss, but can I get you out your panties?

In the back of the car
On the way to the bar
I got you on my lips (I got you on my lips)
At the foot of the stairs
With my fingers in your hair, baby this is it...

[Chorus:] She won't ever get enough
Once she gets a little touch
If I had it my way
You know that I'd make her say
Ooooooooooooooh
Ooooooooooooooh
She won't ever get enough
Once she gets a little touch
If I had it my way
You know that I'd make her say
Ooooooooooooooh
Ooooooooooooooh

[Ke$ha:] My first kiss went a little like this...

I said no more sailors and no more soldiers
With your name in a heart tattooed upon their shoulders
Kisses like whiskey, it gets me drunk
And I wake up in the morning with the taste of your tongue

In the back of the car
On the way to the bar
I got you on my lips (I got you on my lips)
At the foot of the stairs
With my fingers in your hair, baby this is it...

[Chorus:] She won't ever get enough
Once she gets a little touch
If I had it my way
You know that I'd make her say
Ooooooooooooooh
Ooooooooooooooh
She won't ever get enough
Once she gets a little touch
If I had it my way
You know that I'd make her say
Ooooooooooooooh
Ooooooooooooooh

[3oh!3:] My first kiss went a little like this [Kiss] and twist [kiss kiss] and twist
[Ke$ha:] Well my first kiss went a little like this [Kiss] and twist [kiss kiss] and twist

Yeah, she won't ever get enough
Once she gets a little touch
If I had it my way
You know that I'd make her say...

Ooooooooooooooh

[Chorus:] She won't ever get enough
Once she gets a little touch
If I had it my way
You know that I'd make her say
Ooooooooooooooh
Ooooooooooooooh
She won't ever get enough
Once she gets a little touch
If I had it my way
You know that I'd make her say
Ooooooooooooooh
Ooooooooooooooh

She won't ever get enough
Once she gets a little touch
If I had it my way
You know that I'd make her say...
