"I Like the Way You Kiss Me" is a song by English-Cypriot[2] singer-songwriter Artemas. It was released independently on 19 March 2024 and follows his debut mixtape Pretty (2024).

Background

Following the release of his debut mixtape Pretty in February 2024 and having hosted two shows at The Lower Third in London, Artemas returned to the recording studio and created "I Like the Way You Kiss Me".[3] Artemas announced the single on 15 March on his social media.[4]

Composition

"I Like the Way You Kiss Me" is a "hyper-futuristic pop" song[3] fueled by "moody 80s and pulsating synths" featuring a "dark, retro-futuristic sound collage". Artemas lends his "crooning, gloomy" vocals on the chorus as a counterpart to the "kinetic energy" of the whole track. Lyrically, he presents a story of a strained relationship, being unsure of where he and his partner stand.[5] Eventually, he confesses that he favours sex over feelings "by pushing harder for the physicality".[6]
