Saint Etienne were "drinking buddies" with Michael Hiscock from The Field Mice.^[1] The group recorded a demo of this song in their first studio session in January 1990, with New Zealand singer Donna Savage of Dead Famous People on vocals. Notably, they would go on to record what would become their first hit single, "Only Love Can Break Your Heart," in that same session. This demo of "Kiss And Make Up" was released as a bonus track on the group's 2009 release, Foxbase Beta, a remix of their 1991 debut album, Foxbase Alpha.

A re-recorded version of "Kiss And Make Up," also with Savage on vocals, was released in 1990 by Heavenly Records as the band's follow-up single to "Only Love Can Break Your Heart." This version can be found on several compilation albums.

"Kiss and Make Up" does not feature on the original UK version of Foxbase Alpha, but does feature on the US release. The US release contains a third version of the song, re-recorded with Sarah Cracknell on vocals. Cracknell had recently joined Saint Etienne as the group's full-tume vocalist.
