Christina Milian has signed a recording contract with with MySpace Records after being dropped from Def Jam in 2006.

Christina’s debut album for Myspace is due next spring. The album’s first single, “Us Against the World,” will be available via the social networking site on Oct. 6.

“I’ve been out of the game for one and a half years, and I think I’m long overdue for a comeback, so I’m treating this album like it’s my last chance to make an impression. I’m competing with myself and being very detailed,” the 26-year-old Cuban-American singer said in an interview with Billboard Magazine last week. “Before, I had a label telling me what direction to go in. Now, it’s my choice, so I’m being very particular about it and I’m really excited.”

She adds: “I have a lot of support from my peers. I have lots of people that love me and want the best for me. Sometimes things don’t work out the right way, but I know I work my butt off on my end. As long as you know you worked hard, you feel accomplished. Thankfully, I took the time off to check out what’s going on and now I’m back, and MySpace is allowing me to do tons of different things creatively.”
