Her second single, which had two songs, was released on December 2, 2009. These songs were "What Would Christmas Be Like?" and "Fallin’ For You." Mia Rose wrote "What Would Christmas Be Like?" herself, while "Fallin' For You" was a song by Colbie Caillat.

Her videos on YouTube have been watched more than 140 million times! She has also been featured in famous magazines like Rolling Stone and The Age, and she was interviewed on BBC Radio 5 Live.
