"Kiss You Inside Out" is a song recorded by Canadian pop rock band Hedley, featured on a re-issue of their 2012 album Storms. It was written by Brandyn Burnette, Lauren Christy, and Adrian Newman, and was produced by Newman. The song was first released in Canada through Universal Music Canada as the album's third single on May 17, 2012 and was subsequently released in the United States on June 12, 2012 as the album's lead single in that market.[1][2] "Kiss You Inside Out" was also serviced to American hot adult contemporary radio on June 18, 2012.[3]

Featuring prominent pop music influences and suggestive lyrics, the song epitomizes Hedley's musical shift away from the rock and pop punk leanings of their earlier work. Having been certified 3× Platinum by Music Canada and reaching the No. 2 position on the Canadian Hot 100, "Kiss You Inside Out" is the group's most successful single to date. It is also their second hit on the Billboard Adult Pop Songs chart, where it peaked at 24, and first to hit number one on the Canadian adult contemporary chart.

A franglais version featuring Canadian singer-songwriter Andee (credited as Andrée-Anne Leclerc) was released June 26, 2012 and appears on Leclerc's debut studio album, Black and White Heart (2015). This version features additional songwriting by Marc Dupré.
