It was covered by Beyoncé for the deluxe edition of her second studio album, B'Day (2007). Beyoncé contributed to the writing and production. She called the song "a beautiful ballad". A music video was shot in Miami and was directed by Cliff Watts. It appeared on the B'Day Anthology Video Album.

Des'ree's publishers, the Royalty Network, filed a lawsuit against Sony BMG, Sony BMG Sales Enterprise, Beyoncé, B-Day Publishing, and EMI April Music, claiming that Beyoncé's cover of the song infringed copyright conditions. Two of the conditions of the proposal were that the song's title remain the same and that the song was not published in video form. Beyoncé made no further contact with the Royalty Network, and planned to release "Still in Love (Kissing You)" and its video, regardless of the two requested conditions, which the Royalty Network called "completely unacceptable". The lawsuit, filed on April 16, 2007, in the District Court for the Southern District of New York, sought US$150,000 in damages and a recall of the infringing material. The same day, Sony Music Entertainment ceased distribution of both the deluxe edition of B'Day and the anthology video album, although the editions had sold over 214,000 copies before the recall. Later reissues of the albums did not include "Still in Love (Kissing You)" and its video, with "If" replacing the track on the B'Day deluxe edition.

Still in Love
Beyoncé Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm so in love
I'm still in love

I never met love quite before
Until I saw your face
And watching stars
Without you my soul cries
My heaving heart is full of pain

When we're apart, the aching

I'm kissing you, oh oh
I'm kissing you, oh oh

You're my father, you're my soldier
You protect me, boy you save me, you're my best friend, you're my husband
You are my doctor, counselor, provider, professor, my everything

And I love you, I love you, I love you, yes I love you I
I need you, I need you, I need you, I can't live without you
I trust you, I trust you with every ounce of me
Just teach me, boy teach me, just take me

When we make love I can feel all your spirits deep inside of me yeah
Baby you're so pure

I'm kissing you, forever and ever and ever
I love kissing you (kissing you, kissing you, kissing you)

I love, everything about you baby
It's been so many years since we fell in love
We've got something special baby
We can cry together
We can grow together
Be ourselves together

And I love you, more than music
Yes I love you, more than music
I'd rather be kissing you, oh

I'm kissing you, ooh ooh, oh oh
(Kissing you)

It's a beautiful song and I like her version but She didn't write it, she sampled it from Desiree and Beyonce didn't adhere to the restrictions and that's why she had to remove it from her album. Beyonce had to pay a settlement.
