Although she has not had much of a commercial career she continues to record and release songs for her fans and fun. By the age of just 19 she had already written and published more than 50 songs.
She is most famously known for her vocal likeness to that of Britney Spears which is not a surprise as Myah is featured on two of Britney Spears albums as a background vocalist.
Her biggest hit, 'Candy From Strangers', was released on the internet in mid-2008 and many believed it to be a newly leaked song from Britney Spears. It was then revealed that the track was not Spears, but a demo track that Marie submitted for Spears' album Circus, but was ultimately rejected. However, Myah was featured as a background vocalist on Spears' title track Circus. She was also a background vocalist on Spears' 2011 album Femme Fatale, and is featured on Hold It Against Me and Till The World Ends. To date Myah Marie features on 8-9 Britney Spears songs.
Always in and out of the studio Myah Marie is well known for working with close friends Laze & Royal which she has featured on several tracks with, as wells them producing some of her tracks. While Myah openly shares her love for Britney Spears, she wants to be known for her talent and not the "Britney Wanna-be" that everyone labels her.

Myah is currently in the progress of recording her solo EP but is putting her main focus on her new project called My Crazy Girlfriend which is a four member group made up of Laze & Royal, CosmoDoll & Myah Marie who are releasing music as a four piece.
I'm Insane
Myah Marie Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You're cramping up my style.
I can't believe you feel neglected,
You are such a child.
I'm going off the edge,
I think you're too obsessed.
You're so attached.
I'm about to cut the cord,
Won't leave me alone,
Get a busy tone,
Stuck inside my home,
I'm going crazy.
Need a little space,
I'm sick of your face,
Now a mental place,
What have you done to me?
I'm insane,
You make me insane.
I'm insane,
It's disturbing I forgot to mention.
I'm insane,
You make me insane.
I'm insane,
Think I'm craving some other attention.
I'm insane,
You make me insane.
I'm insane,
Yes I'm for you but you never listen.
I'm insane,
You make me insane.
I'm insane,
End up single but I know what I'm missing.
You're suffocating me,
I need some room to stop.
I'm locked up in a cage,
And you're the one that has the key.
I make just no mistake,
I think I want to break,
And if we jump then it's my sanity that you will take.
Won't leave me alone,
Get a busy tone,
Stuck inside my home,
I'm going crazy.
Need a little space,
I'm sick of your face,
Now a mental place,
What have you done to me?
I'm insane,
You make me insane.
I'm insane,
It's disturbing I forgot to mention.
I'm insane,
You make me insane.
I'm insane,
Think I'm craving some other attention.
I'm insane,
You make me insane.
I'm insane,
Yes I'm for you but you never listen.
I'm insane,
You make me insane.
I'm insane,
End up single but I know what I'm missing.
Let's bring it back to reality,
It's time to respect my boundaries.
You're pressuring to get close to me,
I think I'm ready for some space.
Give me back my space.
Give me back my space.
I'm insane,
You make me insane.
I'm insane,
It's disturbing I forgot to mention.
I'm insane,
You make me insane.
I'm insane,
Think I'm craving some other attention.
I'm insane,
You make me insane.
I'm insane,
Yes I'm for you but you never listen.
I'm insane,
You make me insane.
I'm insane,
End up single but I know what I'm missing.
It's disturbing I forgot to mention,
Think I'm craving some other attention.
The lyrics to Myah Marie’s song, “I’m Insane” present a theme of feeling smothered in a relationship. This is illustrated by the opening line of the song, “My phone is off the hook, you’re cramping up my style”. Marie is suggesting that her partner's constant need for attention is getting in the way of her own freedom and independence. Throughout the song, Marie is expressing how she feels trapped and suffocated by their relationship, identifying that she needs space to breathe. She is begging for her partner to respect her boundaries and understand that they need to give her some space. In the end, she realizes the relationship is not healthy, so she decides to take a step back and end up being single, even though she knows she’ll miss what they had.
A significant theme in the song is mental illness. Marie suggests that the intensity of her partner’s need for her attention is causing her to feel like she is losing her mind. The lyrics repeat “I'm insane, you make me insane”- representing how the constant pressure from her partner is affecting her mentally. She admits that she is going crazy and even refers to herself as locked up in a cage and needing to break-free, portraying her partner as the one holding her captive. The song highlights the importance of healthy boundaries in a relationship and how not respecting them can lead to instability and even mental breakdowns.
