I kissed a girl
Katy Perry Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

This was never the way I planned
Not my intention
I got so brave, drink in hand
Lost my discretion
It's not what I'm used to
Just wanna try you on
I'm curious for you
Caught my attention

I kissed a girl and I liked it
The taste of her cherry Chapstick
I kissed a girl just to try it
I hope my boyfriend don't mind it
It felt so wrong
It felt so right
Don't mean I'm in love tonight
I kissed a girl and I liked it
I liked it

No, I don't even know your name
It doesn't matter
You're my experimental game
Just human nature
It's not what good girls do
Not how they should behave
My head gets so confused
Hard to obey

I kissed a girl and I liked it
The taste of her cherry Chapstick
I kissed a girl just to try it
I hope my boyfriend don't mind it
It felt so wrong
It felt so right
Don't mean I'm in love tonight
I kissed a girl and I liked it
I liked it

Us girls, we are so magical
Soft skin, red lips, so kissable
Hard to resist, so touchable
Too good to deny it
Ain't no big deal, it's innocent

I kissed a girl and I liked it
The taste of her cherry Chapstick
I kissed a girl just to try it
I hope my boyfriend don't mind it
It felt so wrong
It felt so right
Don't mean I'm in love tonight




I kissed a girl and I liked it
I liked it

Overall Meaning

Katy Perry's song "I Kissed a Girl" was released in 2008 and quickly grabbed the attention of the public with its provocative lyrics. The song describes a heterosexual girl who kisses another girl just to try it out. The opening lyrics, "This was never the way I planned, not my intention," suggest the singer is not sure of what she is doing and is unsure of her own intentions. However, the line "I got so brave, drink in hand, lost my discretion" indicates that her bravery was fueled by alcohol.


The lyrics "It's not what good girls do, not how they should behave, my head gets so confused, hard to obey" depict the internal conflict of the singer. She is torn between what is socially acceptable and what she wants to explore sexually. The contrast of the lines "It felt so wrong, it felt so right, don't mean I'm in love tonight" suggests that, while the singer enjoyed the experience with the other girl, it does not necessarily mean that she is gay or in love with the girl.


The bridge of the song celebrates the idea of experimentation, stating, "Us girls, we are so magical, soft skin, red lips, so kissable, hard to resist, so touchable, too good to deny it." The line "ain't no big deal, it's innocent" reinforces the idea that the kiss was simply an experiment and did not have to carry any deeper meaning.

@Despair yes 1st few lines were outta tune,then she slayed it ..that happens when actually singing live I guess without a ton of playback so respect Katy

Lois Harach

@Jelica Marković I agree! I thought even the set was shabby. Then, the dancers! Two woman pretending to have sex, while trying to walk on their arms, & legs! I just had to shut her off. I was embarrassed for her, when the body shaming women, smacked her backside, & Katy didn't have enough about her to acknowledge she even got smacked. I'm very sad, that I desided to watch her ón one video...I'm so embarrassed for her mom, dad, any siblings she may have, & Grandparents, Aunties, Uncles, cousins, teacher's, & the list is endless.
