\n\tThere\u2019s no place quite like KISS Academy. But on April 2, the Netflix<\/a> original series\u00a0XO, Kitt<\/a>y will return for its third season \u2014 and this time, its characters are starting to think about life after their glamorous international high school. Before the premiere, Rolling Stone can exclusively reveal a first look at the soundtrack accompanying the show\u2019s fast-paced new episodes.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cThis show is a really healthy balance of fun, drama, and emotion,\u201d co-music supervisor Lindsay Wolfington says. \u201cWhether that\u2019s falling in love, heartbreak, friendship, dance parties\u00a0\u2014 all those things you love to do when you\u2019re young.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\t\u00a0XO, Kitty was the first spin-off in author Jenny Han\u2019s adaptation empire, which started with the film To All the Boys I\u2019ve Loved Before and the love story of its main character Lara Jean Song- Covey (Lana Condor). It\u2019s since expanded to include the hit television series The Summer I Turned Pretty and its highly anticipated feature film conclusion.<\/a> Set in Seoul, Korea, XO Kitty<\/a> follows Lara Jean\u2019s little sister Kitty Song-Covey (Anna Cathcart) as she moves from the U.S. to attend the Korean Independent School of Seoul (KISS). Past seasons of XO, Kitty have shown the high schooler\u2019s shift from a bumbling American out of her depth to a KISS student with strong friendships and brand new information about the mother she never got to know. But just because she\u2019s settled doesn\u2019t mean she has it all together.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\tWolfington and Laura Webb are the team behind the series\u2019 sound, which takes the energy from the To All the Boys movies and adds a modern, K-pop direction. The duo worked on the music for all three films \u2014\u00a0To All the Boys(2018), P.S. I Still Love You (2020), and Always and Forever (2021). They tell Rolling Stone that history allows them to tap into the heart of the story, something that continues through Han\u2019s work.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cKitty has her own journey than Lara Jean. But they\u2019re both teenage girls, so we keep in mind those parallels. Since we worked on all three movies, there\u2019s just a Rolodex in the back of our head of songs that match certain moments,\u201d Wolfington says. \u201cWe talk about [Kitty] being fun and mischievous. I feel like the mischief is giving way to more reflectiveness, and getting to that in the music feels like a transition we\u2019re making this season. \u201c\u00a0<\/p>\n

\t\tEditor\u2019s picks<\/p>\n

\n\tIt wouldn\u2019t be XO, Kitty, or a Han project, if there wasn\u2019t romance involved. While friends Yuri (Gia Kim), Quincy (Anthony Keyvan), Juliana (Regan Aliyah), Dae (Choi Min-yeong), and Madison (Jocelyn Shelfo) try to figure out what they\u2019re doing when high school ends, Kitty finally has to address the will-they-won\u2019t-they energy between herself and heartthrob Min-ho Moon (Sang Heon Lee).\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cThe season does a really good job of touching on that [time] where everyone\u2019s questioning and making life choices, which is very healthy,\u201d Webb adds. \u201cMaybe the world is smaller because they all know each other and they\u2019ll always have this connection. But also they really may never see each other again, and that\u2019s part of the gravity of that decision too.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\tThe third season of XO, Kitty will also come with a confirmed cameo from Condor\u2019s character Lara Jean. The newest trailer from Netflix confirms the star will appear when her little sister desperately needs some advice \u2014\u00a0and a night of junk food.\u00a0 \u201cMovie three is Lara Jean\u2019s senior year. So looking back on our work on season three, we can\u2019t believe Kitty\u2019s at that stage,\u201d Wolfington says. \u201cHistory is repeating itself in a cool way.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

\t\tTrending Stories<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cWe love looking for the songs for Kitty and the gang, and we love being a part of this continuation,\u201d Webb adds. \u201cWe want this universe to go on forever.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
