“Just a Kiss” is a song released on May 2, 2011, as the lead single from the band’s album Own the Night (2011). In the United States, the song debuted at number 28 on the Billboard Hot Country Songs chart and appeared at number seven on the Billboard Hot 100. It later topped the Country chart and was certified 2× Platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA).
The music video, directed by Shaun Silva, was filmed in Paris, London, and Murfreesboro, Tennessee. The Union Station hotel is featured as a train station in the video. Kelley explained that the director decided to shoot parts of the music video in Europe because he wanted the video to be “as authentic as possible”.[40] The video begins with a young woman, Joy, played by actress Danielle Donn, entering a train, taking a seat two rows in front of Scott and discovering an iPad in her backpack. The iPad has a video of her lover with a sign written in French words that mean “Don’t forget about me,” and also some videos of the couple’s travels throughout London, Paris, and Berlin, after which the couple bid each other farewell. A subsequent scene shows Joy’s boyfriend finding her sitting on a train seat and they share a kiss. Joy is then seen awoken from sleep as a man named Brady, who looks exactly like the boyfriend in Joy’s dream, sits next to her. Brady apologizes for waking her and asks if she minds if he sits next to her. The two make introductions, and Joy mentions her dream. Brady then takes out his iPad case (exactly the same case as the one Joy had in her dream), and smiles at her. Joy smiles back, having experienced this deja vu moment. The group members are seen singing at a Tennessee train station, and on the train itself.
