This song was a bop and still is a bop!

This is how we need to be when it comes to these men.


ETA: I am running through her older songs and she really dominated the 90s. She is a perfect example of what a lie can do to your reputation. It really is a damn shame.

I just watched this video a few days ago. It's a timeless bop!

I love the version with Silkk and without him. She did her thing in the video.

Baybeeeeee between her and Aaliyah (Are you that somebody) I stayed trying to replicate these dances that summer. We aren't even gonna get into all the other bops we had that summer! It was lit!

You Want This is a timeless bop. I listen to it at least once a week. The Supremes and Kool & the Gang samples were genius.


Ugh, she was everything in this video. Effortlessly beautiful, ethereal. I am really realizing that we do hold all the power as women and we need to remember that!

It was the summer of 98 and No Limit was hot at the time and it just made sense put him on the track to help push Mya out there.

22 years later, the verison without him is the prefered version because this song has become a late 90's classic and Silkk has become a running joke.

Even for a short period of time when you should search this song on YouTube, uploaders would specificy in all caps that they had the version without Silkk.

I like this song. I like how a while performed this song on an MTV special. It was where the artist would perform in some nice location and she changed the lyrics up so instead of saying "Whose draws are these, you know I wear a size four." She said, "Whose draws are these you know I wear a size six now". I don't know why I remember that after all these years.

I still love this song. Not gonna lie, that “whose drawers are these, you know I wear a size 4” line used to trip me up when I was a kid. Listening and singing songs I shouldn’t be listening and singing to lol :cry:

No kids Mya did not dominate the 90s. She had a few hits but didn't dominate. I like Movin On though.

Very true, she came along in the late 90 and had a run that stretched into the early 2000s.

There are a few threads on here that can detail her career's path and what happened and why things went the way they went.

Come to think of it, summer 98 was memorable as hell.

She didn’t but she definitely made her mark!

She certainly did but to say she dominated would be a stretch, just the fact that she didn't come out till 98 shows that.

She's like that last gasp of enjoyment of the 90s before the decade changed over.

Mya has some jams. Her discography is underrated. She's a great dancer too. She's neck and neck with Ciara in that category.

A certified bop.

The original BOMT video.
Now that you say it I see it. Also listen to Mya’s voice on this I could definitely hear it on Baby One More Time. It’s crazy I could hear Mya on BOMT, Slave 4 U, and Boys. I could hear Britney on Case Of The Ex. I could also hear Mya on What A Girl Wants. I wish she would’ve worked with some of Britney & Christina Aguilera’s people cause I believe she coulda had a lot of crossover success had she done so. I love them all though
