"It Started with a Kiss" is a 1982 song by Hot Chocolate, from their seventh studio album Mystery. It reached number 5 in the UK, making it their fifth-highest-charting single.
The song is sung from the perspective of a young man who has been in love with a young woman since they kissed as pre-teens. Now, when they are older, she no longer remembers him.
The Guardian's Mick Brown wrote that the single's appearance in the top 10 'confirms the resurrection of Hot Chocolate to their rightful place in the British charts'.
