"Kissing Gate" is a song by English singer-songwriter Sam Brown, which was released on 23 April 1990 as the second single from her second studio album April Moon.[1] The song was written by Sam Brown, Pete Brown, Paul Bangash, Tina Warrilow and Sara Jones, and was produced by Pete Brown and Sam Brown.

"Kissing Gate" reached No. 23 in the UK and remained in the charts for eight weeks. It is Brown's last single to reach the UK Top 40.[2] The song also reached No. 57 on the Eurochart Hot 100 Singles chart.[3]

Speaking of the song in relation to "Stop!" in 1990, Brown said: "They've both got the same old-song-style feel to them. But "Kissing Gate" is more tongue-in-cheek; it's not as serious as "Stop!"."[4]
