"One Kiss from Heaven" is the fifth and final single released from English singer Louise's debut album, Naked (1996). The song was written by Simon Climie, Denis Ingoldsby (Noel), and Oliver Smallman (George), and it was produced by Climie. Released on 18 November 1996 by EMI and 1st Avenue Records, it reached number nine on the UK Singles Chart the same month.
Critical reception Jon O'Brien from AllMusic noted "the sultry chill-out pop" of "One Kiss from Heaven". Kristy Barker from Melody Maker praised the song as "perfectly formed" and "perfectly executed swingbeat". A reviewer from Music Week gave it three out of five, stating that her "impressive solo track record will no doubt continue with this fifth single from Naked. It is her most sophisticated offering yet, but lacks the simple charm of its predecessors." In his album review, Mark Sutherland from NME described it as a "soppy smoocher".
