The song reached number one in over 15 countries, and became Mýa's first chart-topper and third non-consecutive top 10 entry on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. It topped the Billboard Hot 100 in its eighth week, spending five consecutive weeks at number one. In 2001, Mýa contributed vocals to the soundtrack to Baz Luhrmann's Moulin Rouge!, for which she collaborated with singers Christina Aguilera and P!nk, and rapper Lil' Kim on the remake of Labelle's 1975 song " Lady Marmalade". The album sold over a million copies in the United States and received a platinum certification by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) on March 28, 2001. Fear of Flying later earned Mýa a Soul Train Music Award nomination for R&B/Soul Album – Female and a MOBO nomination for Best Album in 2001. The song reached number two and three in the United States and United Kingdom, respectively. Initially, the album stalled on the charts until the release of the album's second single, " Case of the Ex". Released in April 2000, Fear of Flying debuted at number 15 on the Billboard 200 with first-week sales of 72,000 copies. Harrison was also heavily involved in the recording, producing, mixing, and mastering processes. The majority of Fear of Flying was co-written and co-produced by Mýa. Partially inspired by Erica Jong's 1973 novel of the same name, the album featured contributions from producers Rodney Jerkins, Swizz Beatz, Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis, Knobody, and Wyclef Jean. In 1999, Mýa began production on an album that would eventually become her second studio effort Fear of Flying. In August 2005, after five years with Interscope Records, Mýa decided to part ways with the label and her management. To further promote the album, Mýa embarked on the Moodring Tour. Moodring spawned two singles, " My Love Is Like.Wo" and " Fallen", with the former reaching the top 40 in several countries. It was certified gold by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), and has sold 589,000 copies in the United States. Moodring debuted at number three on the Billboard 200 with first-week sales of 113,000 copies, marking Mýa's highest debut and first-week sales yet. The album received generally positive reviews from music critics, with AllMusic praising Mýa for coming up with her best and most varied set of songs yet. Described by Mýa as "omewhat of a bi-polar album", Moodring contains elements of R&B, hip hop, techno, pop, and reggae.

While recording the album, Mýa funded her own studio time, and used several songs taken from her archive of music, recorded two years prior. With this album, Mýa wrote "99.9%" of her own lyrics and co-produced many of the album's tracks. Mýa enlisted the assistance of producers Ron Fair, Missy Elliott, Timbaland, Rockwilder, Damon Elliott, Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis, and a handful of others. Production on Moodring was handled by a bevy of producers and songwriters. Before Mýa began to work on what would eventually be her third studio album, she participated in prior engagements which would result in the blockbuster success of 2001's " Lady Marmalade", a collaboration for the Moulin Rouge! soundtrack, and a supporting role in the 2002 film Chicago. Moodring is the third studio album by American singer Mýa, released on June 26, 2003, by A&M and Interscope Records.
