Appreciating
the ease with which he navigates the vocal acrobatics is the initial allure of
“Kiss Me” by TheStaRiders. That allure doesn’t fade with repeated
listens; instead, it’s expanded as other praiseworthy qualities of the song come
into focus. This attentiveness to both sweeping moments and subtle touches
distinguishes the track from its peers.
Thus, the first line of the verse that begins around 0:53 concludes with a striking display of vocal dexterity on the word “line.” Later in the same verse, the compositional sophistication of “Kiss Me” shines through, when the lyric “Now it’s autumn” is punctuated by the sound of a swirling, autumnal wind. The verse ends with an intimate down-tempo combination of piano and vocals.
Another highlight of TheStaRiders’ single emerges around 1:40, when the lead vocal yields to a choir-like presentation. Though the choral texture is teased during earlier choruses, its moment in command still lands as a surprise.
TheStaRiders are a project of Matt Springfield, a singer, songwriter, and composer whose music tastes are aligned with U2, Coldplay, Keane, and The Killers. TheStaRiders made their debut in 2025 with the album “The Wave,” showcasing infectious melodies and genre-blurring sounds. In January 2026, they will release their highly anticipated follow-up album, “Seasons,” led by the first single “Kiss Me.” Blending chamber pop, rock, R&B, funk, nu-disco, synth-pop, and dance-pop, “Seasons” promises to be a celebration of musical innovation and diversity.

Lyrics of “Kiss Me” by TheStaRiders
This is the end of summer
Nothing could last forever
I met the love of my life
You know, this girl's on fire
Now it's autumn
And the party's over
The season has begun
Kiss Me! Just Kiss Me!
You'll be whatever I need
You'll stay in my mind forever
Kiss Me! Just Kiss Me!
That’s all how it feels
This is the end of summer
This is the end of our time
We should stand behind the line
I miss the love of my life
You know, my girl's on fire
Now it's autumn
The game's over
The season might be fun
Kiss Me! Just Kiss Me!
You'll be whatever I need
You'll stay in my mind forever
Kiss Me! Just Kiss Me!
That’s all how it feels
This is the end of summer
Let me dream today
You know it's tough
Let me fly away
I still need your touch
Kiss Me! Just Kiss Me!
You'll be whatever I need
You'll stay in my mind forever
Kiss Me! Just Kiss Me!
That’s all how it feels
This is the end of summer
This is the end of summer
Nothing could last forever
I met the love of my life
You know, this girl's on fire
Now it's autumn
And the party's over
The season has begun
Kiss Me! Just Kiss Me!
You'll be whatever I need
You'll stay in my mind forever
Kiss Me! Just Kiss Me!
That’s all how it feels
This is the end of summer
This is the end of our time
We should stand behind the line
I miss the love of my life
You know, my girl's on fire
Now it's autumn
The game's over
The season might be fun
Kiss Me! Just Kiss Me!
You'll be whatever I need
You'll stay in my mind forever
Kiss Me! Just Kiss Me!
That’s all how it feels
This is the end of summer
Let me dream today
You know it's tough
Let me fly away
I still need your touch
Kiss Me! Just Kiss Me!
You'll be whatever I need
You'll stay in my mind forever
Kiss Me! Just Kiss Me!
That’s all how it feels
This is the end of summer
