"Kissing You" is a song written by British singer Des'ree and Timothy Atack, and recorded by Des'ree for the soundtrack of the 1996 film "William Shakespeare's Romeo + Juliet". It was released as a single in 1997 in Australia, where it reached number seventeen on the singles chart.

A cover version by Beyoncé Knowles, titled "Still in Love (Kissing You)", was released in 2007 on the deluxe edition of her 2006 second album, "B'Day", and the accompanying "B'Day Anthology Video Album". Knowles had recorded the song at the last minute and it was not originally intended for the album.

In the week of 22 April, the deluxe edition and anthology video album of "B'Day" were pulled from distribution because of a lawsuit filed by Des'ree's publishers, the Royalty Network. The lawsuit stated that Knowles was given permission on 5 March to cover "Kissing You", provided certain criteria were met—the song could not be used in a music video, and its title must stay the same. According to the complaint, the publishers discovered on 27 March that the cover was to be included on the re-release, despite no response from Knowles's team to follow-up letters from the publishers. The Royalty Network wrote to Knowles's lawyer and her distribution group, Sony, that the move was "completely unacceptable". [Vineyard, Jennifer.
