Soundwaves: New from Lakeshore Records the Original Soundtrack for Season 3 of the Netflix Show, XO, Kitty

Lakeshore Records is set to release XO, Kitty: Season 3—Soundtrack from the Netflix Series digitally today, April 3 featuring an original score by Jina Hyojin An and Shirley Song.   The composing partners return with more of their playful and poignant music that for three seasons has provided a colorful score to the global hit series. Lakeshore Records is also releasing two individual singles, “Euniq” with music by dv/sn and featuring series star HanBi Ryu (who plays Eunice) on vocals as well as “By My Side”—a song written for Kitty by the character Min Ho and performed by SaintRene. From Paramount Television Studios, season 3 of XO, Kitty starring Anna Cathcart is streaming now on Netflix.


Kitty Song Covey returns for her final year at KISS with her perfect senior year mapped out. She’s going to make meaningful memories with her friends, grow closer to her relatives in Korea, and make big decisions about her future. And she’s going to define her relationship with Min Ho. For real this time. But when surprise revelations throw her plans and relationships off course, Kitty will have to learn to embrace the unexpected.  
 
Jina Hyojin An & Shirley Song said: “XO, Kitty Season 3 steps into senior year full of fun, chaos, and big feelings, a true rollercoaster in every sense. As the characters face big questions and shifting identities, love deepens and becomes more complex, bringing a bittersweet tension between holding on and moving forward. Our score grows with them to be more intimate and emotionally layered, while still holding onto the warmth, familiarity, and heart at the core of the series.” 
 
SaintRene said:  “‘By My Side’ is especially meaningful to me because it has that early 2000s R&B/Pop sound—the kind of music I grew up on and that really shaped me as a singer. The team did an incredible job capturing the emotion of this character and scene, and I’m so grateful to play even a small part in bringing it to life.”
 
HanBi Ryu said: “Ever since I was little, I have always loved singing and dancing, so getting to participate in a song as a vocalist was such a dream come true moment for me. Euniq is incredibly catchy. It’s the perfect debut song for Eunice. The moment I heard it, it instantly grew on me. While filming this season, I was also in school, so I had to try my best not to slip out the melody and sing it unconsciously! This song means so much to me, and I hope everybody enjoys it as much as our whole crew did. Everyone on set was so supportive throughout the entire process, and I’m truly grateful for that. I hope this song could bring some euniq energy into your life!”
