In June 2015, Kris Kross Amsterdam signed a deal with dance record label Spinninβ Records and released their debut single "Until the Morning" with MC CHOCO.
In March 2016, Kris Kross Amsterdam released βSexβ with American electronic music trio Cheat Codes, which samples the chorus from "Let's Talk About Sex". The single became a worldwide hit, reaching the Top 40 on more than twenty national charts. It peaked at #9 on the UK Official Singles Chart and is currently certified platinum.
Success continued with βAre You Sure?β featuring Conor Maynard and Ty Dolla $ign. In 2018, they released βWheneverβ with The Boy Next Door and Conor Maynard, which samples the chorus from Shakiraβs βWhenever, Whereverβ. It reached more than fifteen national charts, including Number 1 in Poland.
Kris Kross Amsterdam then started releasing Dutch songs that prominently sample international hits. In 2019, they scored their first official Number 1-hit on the Dutch official Top 40 with βHij Is Van Mijβ alongside Maan, Tabitha and Bizzey. The song is a Dutch reworking of Brandy and Monicaβs classic βThe Boy Is Mineβ. It has received over 100 million streams and ranks as one of the highest-selling Dutch songs of all time. They repeated the formula with βMomentβ featuring Kraantje Pappie and Tabitha, which reworks Nastyβs 1996 classic βEen Moment Zonder Jouβ. It became another big hit, peaking at #3 on the Dutch official Top 40.
Multiple Dutch hits with popular singers followed. In 2021, they returned to English with βEarly In The Morningβ featuring Shaggy and Conor Maynard, which impacted the Dutch and Belgian charts. They then collaborated with Antoon and Sigourney K. on βVluchtstrookβ. The song samples Olivia Newton-Johnβs classic βHave You Ever Been Mellowβ, which was popularized by the Party Animals in the Netherlands in 1996. It became an immediate streaming success and peaked at #2 on the Dutch official Top 40. It is currently certified triple-platinum.
In 2023, the trio again worked with international artists on βHow You Sambaβ, which samples Belliniβs βSamba de Janeiroβ and features Tinie Tempah and SofΓa Reyes. The song became the trioβs second Number 1-hit on the Dutch official Top 40, but failed to impact the international charts.

You told me to go and then you put your hands on me

The song "Are You Sure?" by Kris Kross Amsterdam and Conor Maynard is a portrayal of a complicated love triangle. In the opening lines of the song, the singer addresses his love interest and points out that she's sending mixed signals. He's confounded by her actions, as she pushed him away, but then kept touching his hands, leaving him unsure about how she feels. The repetition of the lyrics - "Let's not play" - conveys the singer's frustration and a desire for honesty and clarity.
Furthermore, the chorus of the song asks significant questions: "Who do you love? Are you sure?" The singer is clearly feeling overlooked and insecure with his partner's behavior. He urges her to be honest with him, stating that he wants to understand who her heart truly belongs to. The verse by Dolla Sign reveals that he spends money on her, buying her expensive clothes, and luxurious experiences. However, she is indecisive about whom she loves or wants to be with.
In conclusion, "Are You Sure?" is a beautifully heart, and soulful song that talks of one's quest for true love and transparency. The lyrics and the tune carry the listener on a shared journey of confusion, vulnerability, and self-doubt.

Come up to meet you
Tell you I'm sorry
You don't know how
Lovely you are
I had to find you
Tell you I need you
Tell you I set you apart
Nobody said it was easy
It's such a shame
For us to part
Nobody said it was easy
No one ever sais it
Would be this hard
Who do you love?
And are you sure? /x4
Who do you love?
