"Kisses on the Wind" is the third single released from Swedish singer Neneh Cherry's debut album Raw Like Sushi. Like many songs on the album, "Kisses on the Wind" refers to Cherry's schooldays; the song is about a girl who matures before the other girls do, and as a result, she is the first to draw boys' attentions.[2] It peaked within the top 10 in New Zealand and Switzerland, and just reached the top 20 in the UK, peaking at number 20. In the US, it peaked at number 8 on the Billboard Hot 100.

"Kisses on the Wind" is one of many songs containing the sample "What we're gonna do right here is go back, way back, back into time" from the intro of the 1972 single "Troglodyte" by the Jimmy Castor Bunch.
