INXS "Mystify (Single & Video)"

"Mystify" is a song by Australian rock band INXS, released the fifth and final single from their sixth studio album, Kick (1987). The song was written by Andrew Farriss, Michael Hutchence and Tim Farriss as part of the first sessions for Kick. The song was first previewed to Australian audiences on the Australian Made tour in January 1987.

The video is a performance-style video shot in black and white, showing the writers of the song, Hutchence and Farriss, starting with part of a piano instrumental version of "Never Tear Us Apart" and seemingly "composing" the song in the studio on a piano. The video then cuts to the band recording and then performing the track to a live audience. It was directed by Richard Lowenstein and produced by Hamish "Hulk" Cameron.

The B-sides include remixes and LP versions of previous INXS songs, that following the trend of previous Kick releases, showcase the band's previous work. The German edition of the CD single included the 12" vinyl versions of "Shine Like It Does" and "Never Tear Us Apart" from the 1988 US Tour.
