Selling over 5.5 million copies, it became the most successful airplay-only single in history, winning the Grammy Award for Best Pop Collaboration and garnering numerous awards.

The multi-platinum icon's rising success has set the stage for her new music, which combines contemporary R&B and 90's R&B genres into a masterful body of work. 'The love of music-melody, harmony, rhythm and the feel good vibrations of my favorite eras of R&B music from the 70's & 90's, has and will always be my inspiration,' states the megastar of her musical inspiration. 'It's also what my fans have been asking for.' Enthusiastic to give her eager fans a taste of her evolving sound, Mýa shines a light on what fans can look forward to from her new single, stating, 'My fans can expect a very forward Mýa with a song sonically crafted for Valentine's day, full of sexy vibes fusing contemporary sounds of today together with hints of feel good 90's R&B music.'
With the growing demand from her fans both domestically and internationally, the sultry singer plans to release her 13th studio project, and overall 9th LP and independent project in the spring of 2018. Mýa's upcoming album will also be released on her very own independent label Planet 9, distributed by Orchard.
'Growth and evolution is inevitable in 1 year for any person, but 20 years has taught me many things,' Mýa reflects on her evolution as an artist celebrating her 20-year milestone. 'I've learned to own and embrace every part of me and can say that I am completely solid in who I am, relentless in my pursuit of what makes me feel alive and refuse to choose between being strong and vulnerable, grounded and adventurous, intelligent and sexy, cultured and fun. I live my life doing what makes me happy and that consists of simply being me, which is ever-changing and evolving.'
The new single, 'You Got Me,' produced by Lamar 'MyGuyMars' Edwards, written by Mýa Harrison and Sydnii 'KydSyd' Raymore, serves as the 3rd single from her upcoming project and is proving to be yet another staple in the singer's legendary catalogue of music, giving fans a scintillating preview of what's to come on her next album.
