Boss" would be the perfect first single to put out. I was taking control—being "The Boss" of my music, sink or swim—and I put all I had into that single and those remixes. It was so well received globally that I was really a bit taken back by it.” That same year, Kristine released "Never", a single from her then-upcoming album, featuring a variety of remixes. Following "The Boss" and "Never", Kristine W released The Power of Music in 2009. The album produced a whopping six #1s on Billboard Dance Club Songs, being one of only three albums in the history of the chart to do so. The others were Beyoncé’s I Am… Sasha Fierce (2008), also achieving six, and Katy Perry’s Teenage Dream (2010) at seven. Also released in 2009 was Kristine W’s Love Is The Look, to support the single of the same name, accompanied by a host of remixes.

Kristine's adventurous Christmas-themed dance music EP, Mary Did You Know, was released the same year. Kristine W's EP What I Like About You, on which the artist covered the song originally performed by American rock band The Romantics, was also released in 2011. 2012 marked the
