"Kite" is a song by Swedish singer Benjamin Ingrosso. It was released on 26 January 2024 as the lead single from his fifth studio album, Pink Velvet Theatre. It peaked at number 1 on the Swedish chart.

Ingrosso said "For me, 'Kite' is about the first time you meet someone new and the feeling you get that anything is possible, the euphoria and freedom you feel when you meet someone who makes you feel like you're soaring high above everyone else."

Critical reception

Joel Mathers from Cultr said "Benjamin Ingrosso's creative journey in 'Kite' finds inspiration in the enchanting melodies of his childhood, seamlessly intertwining classic Swedish pop and soul from the '70s with modern influences from the late '90s. This distinctive fusion, both musically and visually, positions 'Kite' as a gem that transcends genre boundaries and resonates with timeless quality.

Podcart said "'Kite' encapsulates the thrill of an enchanting journey where life feels vibrant, endlessly exciting, and love waits just around the corner. Ingrosso's crystalline falsetto effortlessly glides above lush production, with the singer noting he's never been more excited to share his music."
