Mýa Returns with Playful, Confident New Single "GIVE IT TO YOU" ft. D-Nice
Mýa steps back into the spotlight with purpose, and “GIVE IT TO YOU” arrives at the perfect moment, blending personality, history, and timing. Featuring D-Nice and drawn from her 10th studio album, Retrospect, the track transforms a recording originally made a decade ago into one of the clearest markers of her current resurgence. Few musical artists have ever been easier to cheer for than this one.
This release comes during a pivotal period for Mýa. Retrospect marks her first studio album in eight years, and she has recently signed with WME for global representation covering music, touring, film, television, theater, fashion, wellness, brand partnerships, and other business ventures. The development draws fresh industry attention to an artist whose résumé already includes a Grammy win for “Lady Marmalade,” recorded alongside Christina Aguilera, Lil’ Kim, and Pink, and a SAG Award shared with the *Chicago* ensemble cast.
D-Nice kicks off the song as the host of “Retrospect Live,” transporting listeners to 1985 with nods to block parties, roller skates, funk, soul, and feel-good music. Mýa then takes the lead with lyrics that are more straightforward than subtle. “If you ask me once, I’d tell ya’ twice I wanna give you all my love,” she sings, embracing the track’s playful confidence.
“GIVE IT TO YOU” also reveals a lot about how Retrospect was put together. Mýa wrote and recorded the song in 2016, then brought it forward for the album a decade later. “I wrote and recorded this song 10 years ago, and it still feels timeless,” she says. The lyrics follow a character who normally keeps her cool but decides there’s no reason to conceal what she wants. In the spoken interlude, she states plainly: “When I see somethin’ I want, ain’t no shame in my game.”
The video places the song in a sunlit California atmosphere. Shot outdoors in Venice Beach, it draws inspiration from the Minneapolis sound associated with Prince and Jam & Lewis, while its grainy visual style nods to *Breakin’*. Mýa also cites Vanity 6, Mary Jane Girls, and Lisa Lisa and Cult Jam as stylistic influences, giving the video a playful ’80s framework without losing the casual feel of a summer day outside.
“GIVE IT TO YOU” follows recent videos for “Just a Little Bit” featuring Too $hort and “ASAP,” continuing a streak that has brought fresh attention to Mýa’s music and visual work. With Retrospect now available, WME representing her globally, and more visuals still shaping the album’s aura, her return is no longer a quiet one. This is a visible, active new chapter, built on material that still sounds ready for the present.
