Background and writing

It was the ninth track on the band's 1992 studio album Revenge.[2]

Composition

Brett Weiss' Encyclopedia of KISS notes that the song "Every Time I Look at You" "is further proof" to the fact that "with songs like 'Beth' and 'Forever' KISS can do powerballads with the best of them."[2]

According to the same Encyclopedia of KISS, Dick Wagner, a "prolific musician", "who worked with such legendary acts as Lou Reed and Billy Joel, plays guitar on the song. It wasn't the first and only time he played on a Kiss recording, among other Kiss songs he played guitar on were "Beth", "Flaming Youth" and "Sweet Pain"[3] (from the 1976 album Destroyer).

Personnel

  • Paul Stanley – lead and backing vocals, 12-string acoustic guitar
  • Bruce Kulick – electric guitar, bass
  • Eric Singer – drums, percussion
