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

Mýa Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Standin' up while we're layin' down
You found a position that turns me on
Temperature's hotter than fire
And the heat has got me burnin' up
So let's stop, drop and roll together
When we make, when we make
We use our imagination (when we make love)
And it always feels like the very first time
When you got your love in between mine
And I'm lovin' it
This is what it feels
This is what it feels like
This is what it tastes
This is what it tastes like
This is what it looks
This is what it looks like
This is what it sounds
This is what it sounds like (every time we're makin' love)
This is what it feels
This is what it feels like
This is what it tastes (every time, every time)
This is what it tastes like (anytime)
This is what it looks (this is what it sounds like)
This is what it looks like
This is what it sounds
This is what it sounds like (every time we're making love)
Our bodies work like a playground
Slippin', slidin' goin' 'round and 'round
And I like this ride, I don't wanna get off
And when you kiss my lips
And then when you kiss my lips
You got me tremblin'
I'm ready for the perfect fit (when we make)
When we make, when we make
When we make, when we make
When we make love (oh, stay)
Creative with it, baby, all night long
Makin' sure it feels like the very first time
When you got your love in between mine
This is what it feels
This is what it feels like (can you picture that?)
This is what it tastes
This is what it tastes like (I want you to know what it feels)
This is what it looks
This is what it looks like
This is what it sounds (oh, can you taste it?)
This is what it sounds like (can you hear it?)
This is what it feels (can you feel it?)
This is what it feels like
This is what it tastes
This is what it tastes like (this is what it tastes like)
This is what it looks (this what it sounds like)
This is what it looks like
This is what it sounds
This is what it sounds like (every time we're making love)
Feels soft, wet and creamy
Tastes sweeter than honey
Exotic sounds 'cause we're in paradise
Usin' everything from the top of my head
Down to my toes
Give you my all
My body, heart and soul
I'll shower you with my river of love (yeah, yeah)
It's comin' down
I'm about to explode
This is what it feels
This is what it feels like
This is what it tastes
This is what it tastes like (yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
This is what it looks (yeah, yeah)
This is what it looks like (whoa)
This is what it sounds
This is what it sounds like (baby, baby)
When you lay me down
One lifted knee
Can you hear the sound
Of my body speak?
I wanna go deaf
Let's make a child
This is what it feels like
Every time we make love
This is what it feels like (this is what it sounds like)
This is what it tastes

The lyrics to Mya's "Anatomy 1On1" describe the feeling of making love with someone you're deeply connected to. The song opens with the singer describing the experience of undressing their partner with their clothes still on, exploring new positions, and feeling the heat of their passion. The chorus emphasizes that their love-making is fueled by imagination and always feels like the very first time. The bridge includes a sensory explosion of descriptions, from the softness and wetness of their bodies to the sweet taste and exotic sounds of their love-making.
The song is a celebration of physical intimacy, but it's also clear that there's an emotional connection between the two partners. They're using their bodies to express the love they feel for each other, and every time they make love, it's a new adventure that brings them closer together. The final verse hints at the possibility of starting a family together, a reminder that their physical connection has the potential to create something even more profound.
