"A.S.A.P." is a song by the American singer Mýa and the lead single from her ninth studio album Retrospect (2026). It was released on January 30, 2026, through Planet 9 and Virgin Music Group. Mýa wrote and produced "A.S.A.P." with Lamar "MyGuyMars" Edwards, with additional writing credit by Vincent Berry II. The song is described as a 1980s tipped mid-tempo track that is built around the themes of communication and honest within a relationship.
Background
In mid-January 2026, the singer announced the release of a new single entitled "A.S.A.P.," teasing a new era as well.[1] Speaking on "A.S.A.P.," the singer commented, "This is for my core R&B fans who love feel-good music, with meaningful lyrics that hit the soul. "ASAP" highlights one reaching a crossroad and choosing clarity by being honest about your wants and needs in times of uncertainty, without fear or hesitation."[2]
Composition
A collaborative effort, between Harrison, Vincent Berry II, and Lamar "MyGuyMars" Edwards; "A.S.A.P." is inspired by personal experiences and observations of contemporary relationships.[3] It's a story about the need to clearly express feelings and expectations without unnecessary ambiguity.[3] With a common runtime of two minutes and forty-eight seconds, infused with subtle nods to the sounds of the '80's, "A.S.A.P." is a sultry, "atmospheric," 80's "informed," "tinged" mid-tempo groove centered on themes of communication and honesty in a interpersonal relationship.[4][3] The track finds the singer crooning of an undeniably red-hot love that's always worth fighting for.[4] Hoping for reconciliation with the antagonist, the singer opts for open communication with a lover to work through a rough patch – "I swear we gotta talk, yeah we gotta ASAP / We both messed up and we way off track," she sings in the chorus.[2][5]
Critical reception
Billboard picked "A.S.A.P." as one of their must hear R&B/hip-hop songs "Fresh Picks of the Week," commenting, "Grammy-winning '00s R&B icon Mýa is gearing up for her first album in eight years, and she's ready to get the ball rolling 'A.S.A.P.'"[6] Similarly, Essence included "A.S.A.P." part of their "Best New Music" this week list as well.[7]
