"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. A remix featuring 21 Savage was released February 27, 2026.[1]

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.[2] 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."[3]

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.[4] It's a story about the need to clearly express feelings and expectations without unnecessary ambiguity.[4] 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.[5][4] The track finds the singer crooning of an undeniably red-hot love that's always worth fighting for.[5] 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.[3][6]

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.'"[7] Similarly, Essence included "A.S.A.P." part of their "Best New Music" this week list as well.[8]

Chart performance

Ahead of its official release, "A.S.A.P." debuted as one of the most added records at R&B radio.[6][9] "A.S.A.P." debuted at number 22 on Adult R&B Songs chart, it marks the singer's first entry on that chart.[10][11]

Music video

Directed by City James, the music video for "A.S.A.P." dubs a retro-modern aesthetic inspired by the golden era of MTV performance visuals. Each scene is bathed in warm, nostalgic tones — rotary phones, soft-focus lighting, and intimate framing — while maintaining contemporary broadcast-ready clarity. Suspended in time, the visual echoes an era where connection meant picking up the phone or speaking face-to-face. Throughout out the music video, the singer delivers her plea through a pearly rotary phone.[12]

Remix

Following the song's original version, the singer teamed up with rapper 21 Savage for the song's remix. In contrast, to the original's smooth, mid-tempo foundation, the duo offers a new spin and transforms the track into a dynamic, layered back-and-forth exchange. Performance wise, the singer vocal anchors the record with clarity and conviction, while 21 Savage delivers a focused, hard-hitting verse that adds urgency and perspective.[1][13][14] Upon its release, the remix received generally favorable reception from several publications.[note 1]
