Transcription

Background

The initial rumors about the single's release started in October, when a South Korean digital store put the single and the album Best Girls for pre-order, with the release day stated for November 27.[4][5] They were later confirmed by the group's Korean label, DSP Media,[6] and by their Japanese label, Universal Sigma, on October 31.[7] With the confirmation, they revealed track lists, jacket covers and prices for both single and album.

Editions

  • Limited CD+DVD (UMCK-9641): The limited CD+DVD edition includes the CD single and a DVD including music video of "French Kiss", a close-up version and making of it.[8]
  • Regular CD only (UMCK-5450): The regular CD only edition includes only the CD single itself.[9]
  • Limited Solo CD+DVD (PDCS-5907 - 5911): The limited solo CD+DVD editions includes the standard CD single track list and a DVD featuring solo shots and making of from the music video of "French Kiss", one edition per member.

Composition

"French Kiss" was written by Shirose, who also composed the song with Heroism and Hikki. "Girlfriend", b-side of the single, was written by Glory Face, who also composed and arranged the song, and Jam-9. This is the first time that a Japanese single of Kara does not include a bonus track.
