Mýa Marie Harrison (born October 10, 1979), professionally known as Mýa or … Read Full Bio ↴Mýa Marie Harrison (born October 10, 1979), professionally known as Mýa or Mýa Harrison, is an American R&B singer-songwriter, record producer, actress, dancer, model and choreographer.

Born and raised in Washington, D.C., Harrison’s eponymous debut album with Interscope Records was released in April 1998, and sold over a million copies in the United States, producing the gold-certified top ten single “It’s All About Me” featuring Sisqó. In addition to her solo work, Mýa was also a featured artist with Ol’ Dirty Bastard on Pras’ 1998 Grammy Award-nominated hit, “Ghetto Superstar”, from the Bulworth soundtrack and “Take Me There” from The Rugrats Movie soundtrack, with Blackstreet and Mase.

Her second studio album, platinum-selling Fear of Flying, was released in 2000 and became a success stateside and worldwide, with lead single “Case of the Ex” becoming Mýa’s breakthrough hit, reaching number two on the Billboard Hot 100, number three on the UK Singles Chart, and number one on the Australian Singles Chart. A year after, Harrison won her first Grammy Award for the worldwide number-one hit “Lady Marmalade,” a cover version she recorded alongside Christina Aguilera, Lil’ Kim, and Pink for the soundtrack of the film Moulin Rouge! (2001).

The singer’s third album Moodring was released in July 2003 stateside and eventually certified gold by the RIAA. It peaked at number three on the Billboard 200 selling more than 113,000 in its first week of sales, making it Mýa’s highest first week sales ever. The first single, the Missy Elliott-produced “My Love Is Like…Wo,” became a top twenty hit in the U.S. due to its success on mainstream radio.

Following several label changes, Mýa’s often-delayed fourth studio album, Liberation (2007), received a download-release in Japan only and led to her 2008 Japan-exclusive album Sugar & Spice.

Having expanded her career to acting and product endorsement deals, Harrison has been engaged in product endorsement deals with brands such as Coca-Cola, Iceberg, Tommy Hilfiger, and Motorola and has appeared in films such as Dirty Dancing: Havana Nights (2004), Shall We Dance? (2004) and Cursed (2005). In 2002, she had a supporting role in the film adaptation of the 1975 Broadway musical Chicago, for which she won a Screen Actors Guild Award.

Mýa is currently working on her 6th studio album due this summer and to be released on her own independent label, entitled Planet 9. She’s recently signed a new deal with Young Empire Music Group and slated to release a new mixtape called Beauty & The Streets Vol.1

Again & Again
Mýa Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I've tried so hard to make you understand
That it's over, yes it's over

Why can't you let it go
I'm not yours anymore
I want you to know
Tried so hard to explain
But it seems from your presence

That it's all in vain
Say good bye, let it go
Say you wanna come back
But I don't wanna know, wanna know, baby

[Chorus]
Again and again and again and again and
Again and again
You come back to me boy
You come back to me boy
Again and again and again and again and
Again and again
You come back to me boy
But you don't hear me no

Leave me the ... alone
Don't make me change my number
Don't' make me change my home
Believe me when I say
You need some help from someone
But that someone ain't me
'Cause you wanna be the man,
That keeps knocking on my door
No, it's not OK
'Cause you keep running in and
Running out of my heart

[Chorus]

I tried to, to want you,
But you don't hear me no
Again & again you keep coming around
When all you wanna do is let me down
I don't feel you no more
But you still callin' me boy
Why can't you see
That you're wastin' my time?
It's over with, you're out of my life
You need some help from someone
Now leave me, leave me the hell alone

[Chorus: x 2]

Overall Meaning

The song "Again & Again" by Mya is a heartfelt ballad about the pain of lost love and the desire to hold onto that fleeting moment of perfection. The opening lines, "The star would be sad, I finally held back the tears in my eyes" express the overwhelming sadness and emotion that the singer is feeling. She implores the person she is speaking to not to walk away or be afraid, even though she knows that love can sometimes blind us to reality and cause us to stumble and fall.

The chorus repeats the phrase, "Don't tell me I will fall in love again, if you're not by my side, even living is a waste," emphasizing the idea that true love is difficult to find and losing it can make life seem pointless. The singer would rather die in that moment of perfect love than face a future without it. The song ends with the haunting refrain, "Never love again," indicating that the pain of lost love has left a permanent scar on the singer's heart.

Line by Line Meaning

The star would be sad
The absence of the person she loves would make the sky less bright and happy

我终于忍住了眼里满满的泪
She finally holds back her tears that show how hurt she is

Don't walk away.
She pleads for the person she loves to not leave her

Don't be afraid
She reassures the person she loves that there is nothing to fear in their relationship

就算是被爱遮住视野跌的粉碎
Even if love blinds her and causes her to fall apart, she still wants to be with the person she loves

我只想靠在你胸前等待着星星熄灭宁愿就这样死去至少能保有这一瞬间的完美
She wants to be in the arms of her love even if it means her life will end soon. She wants to keep this perfect moment forever

Don't tell me I will fall in love again 你不在身边连活着都是一种浪费要是不能和你相爱就让世界都停歇
She doesn't want to hear that she will love again when the person she loves is not with her. She feels it's pointless to live without them and wishes for the world to stop if they can't be together

Never love again
She fears loving again after being hurt so much

How was this song never released as a single?!?!?!

@caterinadelgalles8783

I remember being about 18 and I got the album. It was 'the sound' then and it still sounds good now. I was expecting a big production type thaing with a lot of serious choreography, a la Britney. It never came and we see less than 10k in views. The people were left out of a ruby track that could have propelled Mya into greater hights.......it is my all time favourite track from her....well, Top 5, then. Interscope, what were you thinking?
