I Like To Try And Move The Goalpost And Experiment With Different Sounds." Speaking To Idolator About Sia Furler's Involvement As Executive Producer Minogue Has Said That They Had Worked Together A Couple Of Times Writing Music. Minogue Stated "I Got On With Her So Well. I Asked Her If She Would Executive-Produce. I Was Hoping She Would Say Yes. I Didn’t Know If It Was Something She Had Done Or Was Interested In Or If Maybe She Just Preferred Writing And Doing Her Own Music." In An Interview With Billboard Minogue Expressed That She Had An Epiphany During Her "Kylie 25" Campaign In 2012 Stating "I Felt Like I Needed A New Landscape And Once You've Got Your Feet On The Ground You're Raring To Go. So Far The Support Has Been Great And It's Just Another Part Of This Amalgamation Of 'new' That I Had Wished For And Was Struck By. The First Song And First Single "Into The Blue" Was Written By Kelly Sheehan Mike Del Rio And Jacob Kasher. The Song Incorporates Instrumentation From Strings Guitars And Synthesizers As Well As Being Generalized As Part Of The Electronic Dance Music Genre It Has Been Called "a Winner Of A Pop Song Which Has A Damn Catchy Lightly Brushed With Electronic Dance Music Sound That Deep Down Is Pretty Much A Classic Kylie Minogue Pop Tune. It Will Make You Dance Even If You're Not A 40-Something Gay Man Or A Handbag Disco 30-Something Woman." The Second Song "Million Miles" Written By Peter Wallevik Daniel Heløy Davidsen Cutfather And Chelcee Grimes Begins With Guitars. The Musical Composition Was Compared To Material From Her 2000 Effort Light Years.

"I Was Gonna Cancel" Was Labelled The Most "interesting" Track On The Record And Was Written And Produced By Pharrell Williams Minogue's First Collaboration With Him. Minogue Described The Circumstances Which Inspired The Writing Of The Song "I Had Two Days With Him And Did Two Songs One Of Which Is On My Album And It's Called 'I Was Gonna Cancel' - Because I Was Having The Worst Day. Everything Was Too Much. So My Second Day Going In I Was Literally Talking To Myself Saying 'Keep It Together This Is A Very Important Day It's Pharrell.' And I Burst Into Tears As Soon As I Got There. That's Why He Wrote 'I Was Gonna Cancel' As I Didn't Feel Like Going But Had To." Musically The Song Is Influenced By Electro-Funk Music And Has Been Compared To The Neptunes. The Fourth Track "Sexy Love" Written By Peter Wallevik Daniel Heløy Davidsen Wayne Hector Autumn Rowe Cutfather Is "disco-Tinged And With A Hint Of Slap Bass" Minogue Sings "You Look So Sexy In My Head You Looks So Sexy In My Bed". The Guardian Compared Minogue's Performance To Barbadian Singer Rihanna But Her Image Was Perceived As "fun". The Song Has Been Frequently Referred To As The "offspring" Of Her Previous Singles "Love At First Sight" 2002 And "Wow" 2008 . "Sexercize" Was Written By Sia Furler Who Served As Executive Producer On The Album Along With Minogue And Is Inspired By Dubstep Music. Compared Again To Barbadian-American Singer Rihanna The Song Was Also Compared To Tracks From Her Tenth Studio Album X 2007 . "Feels So Good" Is A Remake Of "Indiana" Written By Tom Aspaul And Is "the Sort Of Feather-Light Modern Dance Pop That Kylie Does So Well. The General Air Of Luxuriousness Is The Perfect Compliment To Kylie's Airy Vocals." "If Only" Is An Electronic-Inspired Ballad That Was Said To Be "overproduced". The Song "Les Sex" Written By MNDR's Amanda Warner And Peter Wade Keusch Was Noted By The Guardian As The Best Song On The Album And Was Recommended By Many Music Critics As A Possible Future Single. The Title Song "Kiss Me Once" Was Appreciated By Music Critics For Its Lyrical Content Which Talks About The Celebration Of Romance Rather Than Sex A Common Theme On The Album. The Album's Only Duet "Beautiful" With Enrique Iglesias "fits In Well Thanks To The Electronic Sheen Of The Production And Vocals Performances In Which Both Singers Sound Like Robots Slowly Powering Down." In An Interview With The Huffington Post Minogue Said About The Recording "Sadly We Didn't Record Together I Remember I Was In Paris... And At The End Of The Day The Email Came Through With That Song And It Just Made Everything Slow Down And I Really Had Visions Of The Song. It's Very Moving And I Really Wanted To Be On It. Definitely. I Was A Little Fearful That He Might Change His Mind!". The Closing Song "Fine" Was The Only Song Co-Written By Minogue Herself And "perfectly Bookends Opener 'Into The Blue'’s Strain Of Self-Help Realism With Kylie Delivering Lines Such As 'You’re Going To Be Fine ' And 'It’s Going To Be Okay A Brighter Day Will Come.'"Musically "Fine" Incorporates "'90s House Processed Hand Claps And A Rousing Empowerment Theme. A Perfect Bookend For An Album Celebrating The Finer Things In Life. ‘Turn Your Face Into The Sun Sun Sun’ Rouses A Euphoric Kylie And With An Energy Such As This It’s Hard To Ignore The Word Of Minogue."
