Common Sense Media says
Bubblegum pop song doesn't go beyond kissing; OK for tweens.

What parents need to know
Parents need to know that fans of iCarly aren't going to encounter anything more mature than what's already covered on the TV show. There's a lot of talk of kissing, but nothing explicit or sexual really, just a celebration of infatuation and how wonderful it is to smooch with someone special. That's probably a little too much for younger kids, but tweens probably won't bat an eyelash at this generally innocent song .
What's the story?
Tweens and their parents are probably more familiar with seeing Miranda Cosgrove acting on the set of iCarly rather than belting out love tunes. But like so many other teen TV sitcom stars (Miley, can you hear us?), Cosgrove is releasing her debut album, Sparks. But this isn't Cosgrove's first foray onto the music scene. Before this she has dueted with Drake Bell and contributed tracks to the iCarly soundtrack.
Is it any good?
Young love can be innocent, sweet, and irrepressible. It can also be incredibly annoying when taken to a super-sweet extreme. That's where we're at with this single. Lovebirds not jaded by love's letdowns can celebrate the purely poppy sounds and Cosgrove's limitless enthusiasm here. The rest of us will be left with a headache from constant eye rolling. After one listen you'll forever understand the meaning of "bubblegum pop."
What families can talk about
Families can talk about love and peer pressure. Do you ever feel pressured to have a boyfriend or girlfriend? Are tweens and teens ready for this level of commitment? What do you miss out on when you become exclusively involved with one person?
Families can talk about the media pressure to have sex. Do you see characters who equate love with having sex? Do you think you can have strong feelings for someone and maintain a responsible relationship? How do you really know who "the one" for you is? What are the benefits to waiting?
Talk about tween stars growing up. Do they go through the same issues you are dealing with? Does it help to see them change and grow, or do you feel pressure to live up to their looks and image?

typical song that is song by everyone!
Miranda Cosgrove is not the best actor but she is a pritty good singer. The only problem is what songs she picks. And this song wasn't the best. I mean all people seem to sing about nowadays is kisssing and realtionships. But to go as low as making a song called "kissing you"? No, not good. I like Miranda cosgroves singing but this song was just awful!

Tweens and Pretweens :D
It`s a really cute and sweet song by Miranda. It`s got a catchy tune too, and most of my friends love it like me. [I`m 11]
The only thing is that if a really little kid was listening to it and then started singing it, it would be kind of awkward. A little kid might follow the message of this song too. [Kissing] But compared to all of the other songs out there, like I said it`s really sweet and just tells about how Miranda feels when she`s kissing a boy. There are a lot worse songs kids could listen too! Miranda rocks! :D Perfectly clean celebrity.

Yuck! This is JUNK!
Get away from this piece. It is grose, stupid, and unreasonable. I see no reason why this was even prouduced. Please, don't listen. On a scale from 1 to 10, this is a 3, and a D-.
