[edit] Music video

The "When You Kiss Me" video

The music video for "When You Kiss Me" was shot in Takapuna, New Zealand by director Paul Boyd. It was shot around the same time as "Forever and for Always" in March of 2003. It was originally released in Europe on October 17, 2003 and then in North America during the summer of 2004, to replace the video for "It Only Hurts When I'm Breathing". 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.

[edit] Chart performance

In the UK, "When You Kiss Me" was released as a double A-side single with "Up!". On November 29, 2003 it debuted at it is peak position at number 21, making it her lowest peaking single at the time. It only spent 5 weeks on the chart.^[1] While it underperformed in the UK, it managed to hit number four in Portugal and make the top forty in Germany and Austria. 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.^[2] When Up! was released in 2002, "When You Kiss Me" gained enough album play to reach number 60 on the Billboard Hot Country Singles & Tracks chart.
