Kiss from a Rose was written by Seal and became globally famous after being featured in the soundtrack of the 1995 film Batman Forever. The inspiration for the song remains somewhat of a mystery, with Seal mentioning that the lyrics are a metaphor for a deeply personal and almost indescribable experience.
