Close

The 7-inch single was backed by the parent album's closing track "My Traveling Heart", a Celtic-flavored ballad^[3] that deals with Wiedlin's feelings about the breakup of the Go-Go's.^[4] An extended 12-inch single was also released, featuring an instrumental version of "Blue Kiss", along with two extended dance versions, one of which was remixed by English musician William Orbit.

Two music videos were produced for the song – one was not released, while the other features Wiedlin playing her guitar and singing in the back of a truck traveling a back-road.

"Blue Kiss" can be heard during the frat house party scene in the film Night of the Creeps (1986), and was used during the date montage scene in the sci-fi indie film The iDol (2007).^{[citation needed]}
