To promote The Truth About Love, the singer performed the song on several occasions, including the 2012 MTV Video Music Awards.

Background and development

While conceiving The Truth About Love, Pink worked with longtime collaborator Greg Kurstin, who had previously contributed to her fourth studio album I'm Not Dead (2006).[2] Pink commented on the experience of reuniting with Kurstin, saying she was keen on working with him again and waited for the right opportunity.[2] "Blow Me (One Last Kiss)" was developed from a nine-day songwriting session between Pink and Kurstin.[3] Upon hearing the instrumental composition, Pink felt inspired and started penning the song's lyrics.[2] She pictured herself "at 2 a.m., in New York, dancing, drunk, letting off steam [with] all [her] punk-rock friends" while they sang along.[4]

In an interview with Billboard, Kurstin revealed that he and the singer faced difficulty in coming up with a title for the track, which also had different lyrics.[3][5] He detailed, "[Pink] kept coming back to 'Let's throw in the towel,' and it was one of those things where we had to say, 'Is that line really the song?'"[3] Kurstin later suggested using the phrase "Blow me … one last kiss", which ignited her interest.[3] The writing and recording process was completed over the course of one day in 2012.[3][6] Prior to the song's release, Pink considered titling it "Blow Me", but RCA Records added the bracketed "One Last Kiss" to avoid a double entendre.[4][5]

Musically, "Blow Me (One Last Kiss)" is an upbeat electropop song.[7] It has a length of four minutes and fifteen seconds (4:15).[8] The song's instrumentation incorporates synthesizers, keyboards, bass drums, guitars, and sirens.[9][10][11] Marc Hogan of Spin and Jonathan Bogart of The Atlantic both noted similarities between "Blow Me (One Last Kiss)" and Modest Mouse's 2004 song "Float On", referring to the "punchy" rock riffs used.[7][12] Musicnotes.com published this song in the key of G major and set in the time signature of common time with a moderate tempo of 116 beats per minute.[13] The verses have a G6–G–Bm–Em–C chord progression, and the chorus follows a G–Bm–Em7–C sequence.[13] Pink's vocal range spans from E3 to G5.[13]

Various contemporary critics viewed the song as a breakup anthem.[5][14][15] Helena De Bertodano of The Daily Telegraph summed the song up as an "angry, defiant ode to the implosion of a relationship".[16] Greg Kot of the Chicago Tribune characterized "Blow Me (One Last Kiss)" as "bittersweet" and described the song as a representation of "heart-break, exasperation and [Pink's] desire to move on" from a relationship.[14] On a similar note, Andrew Hampp from Billboard wrote that the song "finds the singer contemplating the end of her tumultuous 10-year relationship" with her husband Carey Hart.[17]

Pink explained that the lyrics were partly inspired by the year-long separation from her husband, as well as feeling frustrated over different situations in love or life.[2][18][19] The opening lines, "White knuckles / And sweaty palms from hangin' on too tight / Clenched shut jaw / I've got another headache again tonight", describe self-destructive behavior and people's fear of losing something important.[16][18][20] The chorus finds Pink singing "I think I finally had enough / I think I maybe think too much / I think this might be it for us / Blow me one last kiss" over a "pumping" pop beat.[9]

Release and reception

Several critics opined that "Blow Me (One Last Kiss)" is reminiscent of Kelly Clarkson's music.

On June 19, 2012, Pink announced "Blow Me (One Last Kiss)" as the lead single from The Truth About Love, confirming that it would be released on July 9.[21][22] However, the demo version of the song leaked onto the Internet one week ahead of schedule.[9] In response, the release date had to be pushed forward.[23] "Blow Me (One Last Kiss)" was released for streaming via Pink's website on July 2, 2012,[5][23] and for digital download in various countries the following day, through RCA Records.[8] In Germany, the song was released for digital download and serviced to contemporary hit radio stations on July 6, 2012, through Sony Music.[24] It impacted US hot adult contemporary and contemporary hit radio on July 10, 2012.[25][26] A CD single version of the song was released in Australia and Germany on July 27, 2012, by Sony Music.[27][28] The release of "Blow Me (One Last Kiss)" was delayed in the United Kingdom. RCA Records distributed the song to UK mainstream radio stations on August 22, 2012, before releasing it for digital download on August 31, 2012.[29][30]

Upon release, "Blow Me (One Last Kiss)" was met with generally positive reviews from music critics. In her review of The Truth About Love, Sarah Grant from Consequence of Sound compared the song to Kelly Clarkson's 2009 single, "My Life Would Suck Without You", and noted that Pink "has a special knack for filtering the current trend through her own musical lens".[31] Hogan applauded the song's catchiness and the "mix of bawdiness and earnestness".[7] Writing for MTV News, Jocelyn Vena highlighted the song's "anthemic chorus" and "lyrical edge", further commenting that it contains "the signature girl-power sass that Kelly frequently has on her own tracks".[9] While reviewing the album, USA Today's writer Elysa Gardner praised the song's lyrics for portraying "a blunt, graphic assessment of a failed relationship".[32] In his review of the song, Andrew Hampp of Billboard awarded a rating of 85 out of 100 and deemed it as a return to form, and an "empowering breakup anthem in the vein of 'So What'".[15] Hampp later opined that "Blow Me (One Last Kiss)" captures the essence of The Truth About Love.[17]

The Guardian's Caroline Sullivan lauded it as an "irresistible, hobnailed kiss-off".[33] Bogart spotlighted "Blow Me (One Last Kiss)" among instances where "Pink's rock fetish remains as strong as ever".[12] Tanner Stransky of Entertainment Weekly viewed the song's lyrics as "sharp" and described its music direction as "something that Clarkson could have featured on her own album".[34] Similarly, Melissa Maerz from the same publication gave "Blow Me (One Last Kiss)" a B+ rating and positively compared it to Clarkson's 2004 song "Since U Been Gone".[35] Robert Copsey of Digital Spy selected the song as an example for "[putting] to bed any notion that [Pink] lost her sense of humour or the ability to laugh at herself".[10] In a mixed review, Sal Cinquemani from Slant Magazine commended the song's "catchy" production, but criticized Pink for "playing it safe".[36]

The music video for "Blow Me (One Last Kiss)" was directed by Pink's longtime collaborator Dave Meyers and filmed at Malibu Creek State Park, California.[57] It is entirely in black and white, with splashes of red.[58] According to Meyers, the video is based on a "French countryside love story".[57] Sebastian de la Forza appears in the video as Pink's love interest.[59] It premiered via MTV on July 26, 2012.[60] A colored version was also released on August 30, 2012.[61]

The video begins with Pink having a picnic with her love interest.

He sketches a portrait of her while Pink watches as many female guests arrive for a party the man has organized.[63] During the party, Pink is seen dancing with one of the women until she is interrupted by a marriage proposal from her love interest. However, Pink finds out that the proposal was meant for her dance partner.[62][63] Subsequently, Pink attends their wedding donning a black dress, resembling a funeral.[62][66] A flying bicycle appears above the guests, which is carrying a giant heart-shaped balloon.[62][63] After that, the balloon pops, and red liquid covers the guests as Pink laughs.[63] At the end of the video, she joins the driver of the flying bicycle and they fly away together into the sunset.[63][67]

Hogan described the video as "cinematic" and compared the black and white style with "an Instagram-style old-film look".[58] David Greenwald from Billboard opined that the video pays homage to "vintage French cinema".[64] Rolling Stone wrote that the music video "emphasizes [Pink's] personal strength".[66] Kyle Anderson of Entertainment Weekly said Pink "casts herself as a fancy lass" from the silent film era "who has had enough with the men in her life".[65] Caroline Frost from The Huffington Post called the video's style of black and white "sombre but stylish".[59] James Montgomery of MTV News called the video "a whimsical nod to classic French cinema" and praised the "overwrought emoting and smoky, dream-like scenery". Montgomery also noted that Pink "returns to the role she knows best: She's always the bridesmaid, never the bride".[63]
