Schneider was a fan of pop music and hip hop when he was a child, but later he was attracted to the narrative aspect of country music and began singing at age 14. After meeting Brett Eldredge at a concert in the singer's hometown (Paris, Illinois), Schneider was invited to the stage by Eldredge to perform a song during the latter's performance at Terre Haute. He then began writing and playing songs in both Indiana and Nashville, Tennessee. Between 2014 and 2016, Schneider published a series of videos on YouTube of him making versions of popular country songs, which earned him attention online. The first video was published on May 18, 2014.
How Bad Could One Kiss Hurt
Dylan Schneider Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But, it looks like you're lookin' at me too
Why don't we take this party out onto them backroads
Find a little spot nobody else knows
And
Why don't you slide on over
Why don't you take my hand
And take a chance
I ain't askin' for a lot and I know it's a long shot
But I can't help but wonder
How bad could one kiss hurt
How bad could one kiss hurt
Gotta a little something low, bumpin' on the radio
Your favorite song, I could do this all night long
You get me higher every time your eyes meet mine
Your eyes meet mine
Why don't you slide on over
Why don't you take my hand
Why don't you close your eyes and lean on in
And take a chance
I ain't askin' for a lot and I know it's a long shot
But I can't help but wonder
How bad could one kiss hurt
How bad could one kiss hurt
The lyrics to Dylan Schneider's song "How Bad Could One Kiss Hurt" tell the story of a boy who has his eye on a girl at a party. He thinks that she's interested in him too and suggests they go somewhere private. He asks her to slide on over and take his hand, then prompts her to close her eyes and lean in for a kiss. He admits that he knows it's a bit of a long shot, but he can't help but wonder how bad one kiss could hurt.
The song is about taking a chance on love and seizing the moment. The singer recognizes that this opportunity may not come around again and wants to make the most of it. The chorus, "How bad could one kiss hurt," reflects his belief that even if things don't work out, a single kiss isn't the end of the world. He's willing to take the risk for the chance at something more.
Schneider's lyrics are simple and straightforward, but they evoke a sense of excitement and anticipation for what could happen between the two characters. The repeated phrase "Why don't you" creates a sense of urgency and encourages the girl to take the leap of faith with him. The song's catchy melody and upbeat tempo capture the joy of falling in love.
