(2004)"When You Kiss Me" is a song by Canadian singer Shania Twain. It was the fifth international single released from her 2002 album "Up!". The song was written by Mutt Lange and Shania Twain. Shania has admitted on several occasions that "When You Kiss Me" is her favorite ballad off "Up!"; in spite of that, it was excluded from Twain's "Greatest Hits" album. The song had mild success in Europe and Australia; however, it was the only non-released track to chart on the "Billboard" Country Chart in the US. A DVD release of "When You Kiss Me" marked Shania's first and only DVD single. The song was also released as the last single to Canadian country radio.

Music video

". Two versions of the video exist, one which is called the 'One-Take Version' is solely of Twain on a beach at night, with the camera only taking "one take". The main version is of Shania being filmed in a house, on a boat and on the beach by a young male. Both videos were filmed in black and white. The 'One-Take Version' is available on select CD singles and the DVD single.

The lower than usual peaks can be attributed to Twain's health, as she had to cancel several promotional performances since at the time she was sick.
