The video for the song finds the boys paying homage to the King, Elvis Presley. The jailhouse jumpsuits and cute-sy surfing reference Jailhouse Rock and Blue Hawaii respectively, two of Elvis’ best movies! It seems that with the new video, Harry and Co. are taking the throne as the new Kings!
‘Kiss You’ Director On One Direction’s New Video
The director of the boys’ new video, Vaughan Arnell, spoke with MTV News about how the new video marks a major departure for One Direction:
“The ultimate tease, I think it’s as you’ve never seen the boys before, kind of studio-based. I wouldn’t say comedy, it’s all tongue-in-cheek,” he said. “And I think in the past, the boys have always been outside, it’s always been kind of quite location-based, and this is the first studio-based idea I’ve done with them,” Vaughan continued. “And as a tease you’re going to see them dressed as Hollywood [stars], you’re going to see them dressed as ’50s sailors, you got the boys surfing. There’s a lot going on in this one, so as a tease, it’s as you’ve never seen the boys before.”
We think this video just might be One Direction’s best!
