Music video

The music video featured a cameo from Super Junior's Donghae as the shared love interest. The video followed a candy theme, with the group members dressed in white and dancing whilst holding a lollipop (both concepts that also feature in live performances of the song, including covers by other groups.) The music video was released on January 14, 2008.

Rhythmer Volume 1 remix single

In January 2008, it was announced that people could submit their remixes of "Kissing You" to a website for a chance to have them officially released.[3] The four chosen remixes were then digitally released in March 2008. The Skool Rock Remix Version, the top choice in the competition, was included in the re-release of their debut album, Baby Baby (2008).[4][5]
