While the original version of "K.I.S.S." contains J-Pop songs, Mya says the deluxe edition is more of her traditional style. "It's R&B, urban [and] also Pop. It's fun, young with perspective and opinion." There are up-tempo tracks, as well as ballads, like "Love Comes Love Goes," that tackle "deeper issues." She singles out "Evolve," a "heartfelt, mid-tempo" song as one of her favorites. "[It's] about having determination and will power through it all... and not letting anything stop you," Mya says. "It represents where I am in my life."
Some of the album's guest artists include Marques Houston, Iyaz, and Trina, who appears on the single, "Earthquake." "Trina and I worked together for her mixtape initially, 'Diamonds Are Forever,' and collaborated on a song for her album called 'Can I,' and we did a trade-off situation, being that we're both independent," the singer says. "And I thought she was real appropriate for the record because she comes with that swag."
One of the standout tracks is the new single "Somebody Come Get This Bitch (SCGTB)" featuring Stacie & Lacie. "It's a catty, girl record," Mya tells The Juice. Inspired by the "gay club scene" Mya says, the track received a positive response when Mya debuted it on Twitter. "In the song a clique calls out for help and assistance before your reflexes take over when the girlfriend of a girlfriend tags along on a night out, but is doing WAY too much. Late as hell, still a hot mess, catty comments, lots of shade, irresponsible and has to be babysat," she says. "We're all trying to keep it sexy and simple and now THIS chick. Not the flow. What would I say in this scenario? 'Somebody come get this bitch.'"
Despite the interesting material, Mya doesn't have any plans to shoot videos or do extensive promotion for the album. "K.I.S.S. is just a boutique album that I'm offering fans under the radar. If they want it, it's accessible now," she says. "This is just more of an appetizer. I've already started on what people will be looking forward to." Mya remains quiet on what the next album will sound like, but she will release it "when it's ready and supported properly." She is open to working with a major label again, "if a comfortable situation presents itself." "My priority is serving my fans worldwide now, versus the one-off, independent situation that I've been doing," Mya says. "I'm still going to put out my mixtapes. I still may do projects in Japan, but my focal point and priority is to bring it back home." Mya's fans "at home" can currently see her live. "I'm always performing, I'm always hustling. I'm always performing at Gay Pride events," she says. Mya also keeps busy teaching dance through her Arts & Tech Foundation, and she recently co-starred in the film "The Heart Specialist." While she wants to continue acting and moving into other areas, such as artist development, her music comes first. "I want to serve my fans before I start going into other territories and doing other things, which I would love to do. But I know that I need to take care of the first thing, which is what I was doing in the first place, and that's my music."

K.I.S.S.原来的版本有着J-pop风格的歌曲,Mya说这个豪华版会加入更多自己的东西,R&B、Urban和Pop。专辑里有很多快节奏的歌曲,当然还有Ballad,像“Love Comes Love Goes”。她单独列出“Evolve”,一首中板而真诚的歌是她的最爱。“这表达了要有决心,还有一路坚持……不要让任何东西阻挡你。”
尽管专辑里有很多有趣的东西,但是Mya没有计划去拍摄MV和大量宣传,“K.I.S.S.只是一张礼物专辑反馈给我的粉丝,如果他们想要,就可以去购买。”她还说“这更像是一盘开胃菜,我早已开始做些人们期待的东西。”
Mya没有透露新专辑的太多细节,但是她说当一切准备就绪和得到正面支持时就会发行。她表示,她已经重新和主要的唱片公司再次合作。“我优先考虑的是全球的粉丝,我仍然会出版我的Mixtape,我还可能会在日本出专辑,但是我的重心和优先权绝对是放在我的家乡。”
