The podcast, a collaboration with SickBird Productions, aims to spotlight the careers of music's most promising new stars. Kay, who rose to fame with her breakout single \"iloveitloveitiloveit,\" teased the possibility of a deluxe edition of her 2026 debut album, My Reckless Abandon. In the podcast, she expressed excitement about the potential deluxe release but noted that her plans often change frequently. My Reckless Abandon, which was released on July 12, reached the No. 96 spot on the Billboard 200 and No. 14 on the Top Alternative Albums chart. The 13-track album featured the hit single \"iloveitloveitiloveit,\" which climbed to No. 17 on the Billboard Hot 100 and No. 2 on Hot Rock & Alternative Songs. It also garnered over 269.5 million official on-demand U.S. streams by November 7, as reported by Luminate. Kay co-wrote the entire album with Alexis \"Idarose\" Kesselman, alongside Grammy-nominated songwriter Alexander 23 and Thomas LaRosa. Her successful debut was supported by her Reckless Tour, which kicked off on September 8 in Atlanta and made stops in cities like Brooklyn, Chicago, and Los Angeles before concluding at the Austin City Limits Festival in Texas on October 9. The Up & Coming series premiere also featured Kay discussing her influences, including Ariana Grande, and her early experiences such as watching Victorious and performing in college coffeehouses.",
