The hit 1998 song “This Kiss” ultimately went on to become Faith Hill’s fourth solo number one, as Country Thang Daily notes, and the fifth in her career at the time on the US Billboard Hot Country Songs chart. It also peaked at number seven on the Billboard Hot 100, as well as number three on the Hot Adult Contemporary Tracks chart in the year of its release — and the following year in 1999.
And while Hill hasn’t outright revealed exactly who this song is about, Hill married Tim McGraw in 1996 and was pregnant with their second daughter Maggie during the filming of the iconic music video for “This Kiss” (via The Boot). So, it’s pretty clear that Hill was experiencing a lot of love at the time, which was subsequently transferred into her music and videos.
