There you see her
Sitting there across the way
She don't got a lot to say
but there's something about her
And you don't know why
But you're dying to try
you wanna kiss the girl
Yes, you want her
Look at her, you know you do
Possible she want you too
There is one way to ask her
It don't take a word
Not a single word
Go on and kiss the girl
(sing with me, now)
Sha-la-la-la-la-la
My, oh, my!
Look like the boy too shy
He ain't gonna kiss the girl
Sha-la-la-la-la-la
Ain't that sad?
Ain't it a shame? Too bad
He gonna miss the girl

In 2006, when The Little Mermaid was re-released on DVD as a 2-Disc Platinum Edition, another rendition of the song was recorded by Ashley Tisdale. The song was first heard on Radio Disney on September 4, 2006 and the music video premiered on September 6, 2006 on Disney Channel, immediately following an episode of the sitcom The Suite Life of Zack & Cody. It was also included on Disneymania 5.
The song's music video consists of a girl at a school dance. As she hangs out with her friends, she notices a boy repeatedly glancing at her. The boy's friend encourages him to talk to Tisdale, but every time he gets close, she goes somewhere else. Scenes and clips from The Little Mermaid appear throughout the video. The video ends with Tisdale asking him to dance, and then at the end she kisses him on the cheek.
A shorter version of the music video also exist. It was even featured after Mike's Super Short Show's coverage of The Little Mermaid 2-Disc Special Edition DVD.
Tooth Tunes included the song in one of their products.
La Década
The Spanish group "La Década Prodigiosa" covered this song for their album: "La Década: DisneyMania"

Charts
- In the first week of April 2007, Ashley Tisdale 's version of "Kiss the Girl" managed to debut on the Billboard's Bubbling Under Hot 100 Singles at #16 (which is equivalent to #116). One week later, the song debuted on the Billboard Hot 100 at #81.
Trivia
- During the Kingdom Keepers book Disney at Dawn, Jessica, trapped in the sewers of the Tiger exhibit, manages to use her iPod to play Kiss the Girl and Under the Sea over Animal Kingdom's music speakers. This helped the other Kingdom Keepers find her (Kiss the Girl was used to identify it was Jessica, and Under the Sea because her hiding spot was under the "C" on the map).
- In an episode of Phineas and Ferb, this scene of the movie is parodied with Candace and Jeremy.
- A parody was also performed on the ABC show Galavant.
- The song makes a cameo in Descendants 2 as the song that Uma waltzes with a mesmerized Ben.
- At the 1990 Academy Awards, Geoffrey Holder performed this song.
