George Michael on His Song ‘Kissing a Fool’

Kissing a Fool

I don’t think I’ve ever really been influenced by other friends as to who I should or shouldn’t go out with. ‘Kissing A Fool’ isn’t really about that. It’s about a relationship I had with someone who couldn’t handle the situation because of who I was, George Michael. At the time it did surprise me. First I hadn’t realised how much I’d achieved and secondly I hadn’t realised it could have its limitations. I write it in that swing style because I think that period of music had that feeling of resignation. It’s very much a late night giving up feeling.
