Before being released in the United States , " Earthquake " was originally featured on the Japanese version of '' K.I.S.S. '' but removed of respect after the devastating earthquake . " When considering to release it on the U.S. version this fall , again it was a decision I went back and forth on , but ultimately , I think people will understand my decision to release the song , because at the end of the day I think the world is ready to have some fun , and take negative situations and reinvent them into something positive , that we can own , learn from and that bring us together , " Mýa told AOL Music of the timing of the song 's release . " Sometimes we just need to let loose , let our hair down , come together and shake it like an Earthquake ! " the singer added
