Case Of The Ex

Yeah, Mýa
Redzone, what, what?

It's after midnight and she's on your phone (phone)
Saying come over cause she's all alone ('lone)
I could tell it was your ex by your tone (tone)
Why is she calling now after so long?

Now what is it that she wants?
Tell me what is it that she needs?
Did she hear about the brand new Benz that you just bought for me?
'Cause y'all didn't have no kids
Didn't share no mutual friends
And you told me that she turned trick
When y'all broke up in '96

What you goin' do when you can't say no?
When the feelings start to show
Boy I really need to know, and
How you gonna act? How you gonna handle that?
What you goin' do when she wants you back?
What you goin' do when you can't say no?
When the feelings start to show
Boy I really need to know, and
How you gonna act? How you gonna handle that?
What you goin' do when she wants you back?

There's no need to reminisce 'bout the past (past)
Obviously 'cause that shit did not last (last)
I know how a woman will try to game you (you)
So don't get caught up because, baby, you'll lose

Now what is it that she wants? (What is it that she wants?)
Tell me what is it that she needs?
Did she hear about the brand new Benz that you just bought for me? (Bought for me)
'Cause y'all didn't have no kids (didn't have no kids)
Didn't share no mutual friends (no, no, no, no)
And you told me that she turned trick
When y'all broke up in '96

What you goin' do when you can't say no?
When the feelings start to show
Boy I really need to know, and (I really need to know, baby)
How you gonna act? How you gonna handle that?
What you goin' do when she wants you back?
What you goin' do when you can't say no?
When the feelings start to show
Boy I really need to know, and
How you gonna act? How you gonna handle that?
What you goin' do when she wants you back?

What you goin' do when you can't say no? (What you gonna do?)
When the feelings start to show
Boy I really need to know, and
How you gonna act? How you gonna handle that? (How you gonna handle that?)
What you goin' do when she wants you back?
What you goin' do when you can't say no? (What you gonna do?)
When the feelings start to show
Boy I really need to know, and
How you gonna act? How you gonna handle that?
What you goin' do when she wants you back?

Tell me, why she on the phone in the middle of the night? (Middle of the night)
Tell me, why she in yo' life tryna get what's mine? (All mine)
She don't know me, she's about to know me
I'm in your life, that's how it's goin' be (that's how it's gonna be, yeah)
Seen her photo, she ain't even all that (all that, all that)
So if you want her back, you can take her back
'Cause game recognize game
I can do the same thing
Get it right, change
Or take back this ring

What you goin' do when you can't say no?
When the feelings start to show
Boy I really need to know, and
How you gonna act? How you gonna handle that?
What you goin' do when she wants you back?
What you goin' do when you can't say no?
When the feelings start to show (I need to know)
Boy I really need to know, and
How you gonna act? How you gonna handle that?
What you goin' do when she wants you back?

What you goin' do when you can't say no?
When the feelings start to show
Boy I really need to know, and
How you gonna act? How you gonna handle that?
What you goin' do when she wants you back?
What you goin' do when you can't say no?
When the feelings start to show
Boy I really need to know, and
How you gonna act? How you gonna handle that?
What you goin' do when she wants you back?

Thats Why I Wanna Fight

[Verse One]
We fight all day, make up all night
Our love's up and down
It makes the mood just right
For us to do, what I love to
So if I pick a fight, you know what I'm up to....
Don't shake your head baby instead
Give into me this fight
You won't forget
I promise you when we're through
You won't hesitate to say I'm sorry boo

[Verse 2]
I just want to make up
'Cause I want you so much
That's why we have to stay
Getting into it, some days
Never endin' it
So don't get mad at me
Sometimes I get the strangest needs
That's why I turn to you, so you can
Handle it, baby, you're the man for it...

[Chorus 2xs]
We gotta make up tonight
That's why I wanna fight you
Break the rules
So we can get it right
And I'll show you how I do
I wanna fuss and fight
Then make it up tonight

[Repeat Verse 2]

Pussycats

Where my ladies at?
Where the fellas at?
Now where the dogs at?
Where the cats at?

Pussycats (yeah, all the ladies)
Keep it tight
Even if they bark all night (say, what?)
(Now lemme see y'all wave your hands from side to side)
With a knick-knack patty wack, don't give a dog a bone
'Cause if he hit it you gon' be all alone

Mama
You should've seen what he done to me
I said, mama
I should've took your advice

'Cause Paulo was a rolling stone
Wherever he laid his hat was his home
Stay away from those hot boys
'Cause I don't want you to get burned

Pussycats
(Shut 'em down, shut 'em down)
I said keep it tight
(No matter what they do)
Even if they bark all night
(All night, all night)
With a knick-knack patty wack, don't give a dog a bone
'Cause if he hit it you gon' be all alone

Said, pussycats
(I said shut 'em down, keep it closed)
Keep it tight
(No matter what they may do)
Even if they bark all night
(All night, all night) they could bark all night
With a knick-knack patty wack, don't give a dog a bone
'Cause if he hit it you gon' be all alone

Girlfriend
Innocent woman on the streets
Fell into seduction
After wanting the street poetry

Like a virgin touched for the very first time
She got open unaware of the seven signs
She fell victim to the darker side
But I'm here to tell you why

I said pussycats
(Said shut it down, shut it down)
Keep it tight
(They can say whatever they want to)
Even if they bark all night
(All night, all night) (let me tell y'all)
With a knick-knack patty wack, don't give a dog a bone
'Cause if he hit it you gon' be all alone

Pussycats (all the ladies)
(Yeah, pussycats, pussycats)
Keep it tight
(All of y'all keep it tight, keep it tight)
Even if they bark all night (say, what?)
(All night, all night)
With a knick-knack patty wack, don't give a dog a bone
'Cause if he hit it you gon' be all alone (you gon' be hurt)

The fellas, mh-mh, the ladies, uh-huh
The dogs, uh, uh, my cats, sing

No matter what they do
No matter what they say
No matter how loud they bark, don't let them play
No matter what they do
No matter what they say
Don't let 'em in girls, no, no way

No matter what they do
No matter what they say
No matter how loud they bark, don't let them play
No matter what they do
No matter what they say
Don't let 'em in girls, no, no way

Pussycats (all the ladies)
(Shut 'em down, shut 'em down)
Keep it tight
(No matter what they do or say)
Even if they bark all night
(All night, all night)
With a knick-knack patty wack, don't give a dog a bone (don't give it up)
'Cause if he hit it you gon' be all alone

Pussycats
(Uh, pussycats, pussycats)
Keep it tight
(Mama always used to tell me)
Even if they bark all night
(All night, all night, alright) (if they bark all night)
With a knick-knack patty wack, don't give a dog a bone
'Cause if he hit it you gon' be all alone

Now lemme clear something up here
I know it's a lot of real men out there
Much love to y'all
But we talking the dogs out there tonight (that's right, that's right)
So all the pussycats out there
Don't give it, don't give it up

(Don't you give it up) don't give a dog a bone
Don't give a dog a bone
(Don't you give it up) don't give a dog a bone

The Best Of Me

[Jadakiss (Mya)]
Uh, huh
I don't wanna get the best of you, ha-ha (whoa)
Yo, yo

[Mya (Jadakiss)]
You put me on
I can't let, (nah, yeah) let him go no
(I just wanna do what's best for you)
Can't let you get, oh no (Yo, yo)

He has a little game that he plays
Clever little ways and a hot boy style
Brags about the dough that he makes
Flash a little cash most girls wild out
Lately he's been checking for me
Telling me how much he wants to be
Wants to be the one to replace
Replace the man that waits at home for me

[1:]
But oh no I can't let you
Get the best of me
Even though deep inside
Something's dying to see
How you flow out them clothes
And you put it on me
Feelings coming on strong
We know that it's wrong
I can't let you get the best of me

(You put it on me)
The best of me
(You put it on me)

So is he trying to play with my head?
Telling me how he could blow my mind
Something about the things that he said
Made me want to take it there one time
I should be walking away
Cause his hands up on my thigh
Should I leave, should I stay?
After all it's just one night

[Repeat 1]

(You put it on me)
The best of me
(You put it on me)

[Jadakiss]
Yo, yo, yo I got so many bags of money
That they won't fit in the bank
And I'mma do this just like Tony did it to Frank
But I'mma make sure both y'all win
Let him keep the place you move
And I'mma pay both y'alls rent
So forget about the condo and come to the crib
Cause the castle over the mountain come with a bridge
You know literally, we could go shopping in Italy
Hand on her thigh she ain't wanna get rid of me
And she don't drink or know how a L look
Chanel look mixed with the Pete Arnell look
You just stay pretty while I'm running the city
When I whip the V you can hold the joint if you with me
Vacation cost a hundred and fifty we living it up
I put it on your ass if you giving up
And you know I'm not a hater
And if you feel bad then you call a month later
And tell him you all Jada's

[Mya]
Oh no I can't let you
Get the best of me
Even though deep inside
Something's dying to see
How you flow out them clothes
Then you put it on me
You ain't gonna get to me
You can't get the best of me

[Repeat 1]

Oh no I can't let you
Get the best of me
Even though deep inside
Something's dying to see
How you flow out them clothes
Then you put it on me
Oh yeah, oh...

Lie Detector

[Mya] [Wyclef Jean]
(New millennium, pump this in your jeeps)
This is for all y'all out there
That ever dealt with somebody (Pump this in your jeeps)
Who lyin' fakin' cheatin'
Stealin' creeping, B-Sin' (Pump this in your jeeps)
I got this thing called the lie detector
Two tea-spoons and they're bound to tell the truth (Pump this in your jeeps)
Listen

[Mya]
You told me, that I was your fantasy yeah
You said that we would practice monogamy
So I became a freak under the sheets
Put his ass to sleep creeped into the kitchen
And got the remedy it's called the lie detector
I slipped it in his drink I brought it to his bedside
And said take a sip of this and don't think

[Chorus:]
You won't believe what happened
When he sipped the lie detector
Looked into his eyes
Asked him where you been?
He said it's no surprise
Cause I've been with my ex girl
Why'd you tell me the truth?
He said you wanted to hear the truth

[Hook]
Sometimes I wish I never gave him a detector
I thought he loved me but he loved her
So I'm kind of glad he took the lie detector
Now I know the truth so you can get the boot

[Beenie Man]
Man you have to you have to you have to go mami
Tie up tie up tie up clothes yeah
End of end of end of the road
Once you find out you gonna light up

[Mya]
She told you
Baby let's get married
Always been faithful
Let's spend eternity
So he became a freak under the sheets
Put her ass to sleep
Creep into the kitchen
Got the remedy
It's called the lie detector
Slipped it in her drink
Brought it to her bedside
And said take a sip of this and don't think

[Chorus]
[Hook]

[Beenie Man]
Now to all the women of the country
It ain't my fault
If the girl ain't want for love me
Truly want to meet me
Kind of girl that want to
Too many girls they sugar
They want to kiss me
Anyway my life is sweet
My girl is neat
I know the streets
Girls jumping at my feet
Well my brides are few
Oh I see we don't defeat
From your lovin girl is but a treat

[Mya [Beenie Man]]
If you got a need for some prescriptions (Baby it's all up to your expectations)
Make sure that it's with communication (Look out for your man cause he put down the foundation)
Don't want to find yourself asking how did this happen (Ma just shows my love is not open)
Friday the thirteenth went to the movies (Baby hurry up and get goofy)

[Chorus]
[Hook]

You won't believe what happened
When he gave the lie detector
Picked up the pager numbers
Said who's called sixty-nine?
She said don't be surprise
Cause it's been your best friend
He looked and swallow his pride
Felt like crying, but guys don't cry

Sometimes he wished he never gave her a detector
But thought she loved him, but she loved his best friend
But now he's kind of glad she took the lie detector
He found out the truth so he gave her the boot

[Beenie Man]
Hey you have to you have to you have to go mami
Tie up tie up tie up clothes yeah
End of end of end of the road
Once you find out,ya gonna light up
You have to you have to you have to go mami
Tie up tie up tie up clothes yeah
End of end of end of the road
Once you find out you gonna light up

How You Gonna Tell Me

See every time me and my man get into a fight
This girl is giving her advice
She wanna say that he ain't no good
And she think I should get another man in my life
But I don't see how she gon tell me
What she think a man should or should not be
Plus her love life ain't right
She needs to get it tight
Before she be steppin to me

[Hook:]
Now come on
If you've been divorced more than twice
And you wanna give advice about my love life
Oh no you can just forget that
I don't need that
So you can just go ahead and keep that
And if you always lookin a mess
But yet you wanna tell me how to dress
Oh no I don't wanna hear that
I won't take that
So you can just go ahead and save that

[Chorus:]
At least if you're gonna try and give advice
About my life have your own shit right
Cuz you ain't even livin' what you preach to me
So please how you gonna tell me
At least if you're gonna try and give advice
About my life have your own shit right
Cause you ain't even livin what you preach to me
So please how you gonna tell me

Tell me why do I find that the blind
Is always trying to lead the blind
They always got something to say every day
About the way you do your thing
But I don't see how they go' tell me
What I need or how I need to be
Cuze if they ain't doing what I wanna do
Living like I wanna live
I don't wanna hear it

[Hook]

[Chorus]

You bout to lose your house and your ride, too
Cause you don't handle business like you should do
But you know how to fix my thang
You dropped out of school in the 11th grade
Strippin' every day just so you could get paid
But you know how to fix my thing
How you gonna tell me yeah
Whoa

[Chorus 2x's]

But if you wanna give advice
Give advice about my life
Make sure that your shit is tight
How you gonna tell me
But if you wanna give advice
Give advice about my life
Make sure that your shit is tight

Just cause I drove with a gang of about 23
Pack beyond capacity we all getting in free
It's straight to VIP nothing but hands grabbing on me
I'm a star so I start my tab at the bar
It's one of the benefits when everybody knows who you are
Like my car, valets salivate like it's a cookie jar
Just keep it up front fellas, don't take it too far
It's been since October, the last time I was sober
Music's like a drug when it starts taking me over
I see Mya ain't fighting it she's on the dance floor
But it's all good cause we splittin' the cash from the door
Well fourteen bottles of Don P later
It's just me, Mya, the DJ, and the waiter
I go outside for my ride dented up like Now-Or-Laters
Almost cried, swallowed my pride
and said peace, you, valet, playa hater

Okay people the party's over
Just return to your simple lives and forget

Now Or Never

I've seen the rest before
And I've settled for less before
An offer so much more
Has been knocking upon my door
Don't hesitate or so I've heard that
Eventually you'll quit waiting for me
Since I know we both belong in arms in crazy love
I gotta open up before you leave

[Chorus:]
Baby it's time to get up on track
And give it all back to you
I know that you love me
You're always there for me
Baby it's time to get up on track
And give it all back to you
I could lose you forever
And it's now or never

Oh no oh no oh no oh no
We spend the entire day
How you always knew what to say oh
You never asked to stay
And I can't believe that I couldn't see
Gotta open up before you leave me lonely oh

[Chorus]

Oh no oh no oh no oh no
Now or never
Oh no oh no oh no oh no

I know we both belong in arms
I know it's crazy love
I know we both belong in arms

Fear Of Flying

I've got a fear of flying
On my plane cuz we've got no say in how it ends up
Well in my mind love's the very same way
That's why I never give my heart to no one

[Hook:]

I'd never take a chance on a love that gets me off the ground (oh yeah)
I cling to earth-bound things
But I wanna spread my wings somehow
(Somehow)
(I've got a)

[Chorus ]
I've got a fear of flying high
(And I'm prepared to spread my wings Ohh)
It's all in my mind
(Love defies all gravity yeah)
Voices in the wind
(I can hear them welcome me to fly)
Think I'm flying now, flying now, flying now . . .

I've been in love but I fell too fast I found myself in turbulent skies
I felt the hurt when I crashed and burned
Then I found myself with tears in my eyes
But when you look at me, something says that its gonna be alright
(Gonna be alright)
Alright (will be alright)
And all my fears I've faced
Cuz I think I'm gonna take this flight
(Will Take this flight)

[Chorus]

Ohhh
Suddenly something beyond the clouds is calling me
And your love to me is like therapy
For my soul
So I'm ready to
Soar
Fear of flying
High
(Ohhh Spread my wings)
It's all in my mind
(Love defies all gravity)
Voices in the wind
(I can hear them welcome me yeah)
Fear of flying now, flying now, flying now (I wanna fly, I wanna fly)
Think I'm flying now
Think I'm Think I'm

Flying (Interlude)

October 10
Here I am again
Back where I started from
And just when I let myself fall deep
Fall hard
It seems every time I give my all
I turn around only to get slapped in the face with rejection
Now see this is the type of stuff that makes me just wanna
STOP!!
Just stop it all
Stop the giving to avoid the taking
Stop loving to avoid the hating
Stop trusting to avoid all these lies
But most of all
Stop flying to avoid the fall

Cant Believe

No, no, no
No

You told me that you didn't love her anymore
Then you turn around and you walked out the door
Whether you go or if you stay, babe
I'll still be loving you anyway
I know that I just can't stand the pain

And I can't believe
That she's the one you really love (damn, babe)
And I can't believe
That she has your heart (has your heart)
'Cause it seems to me
She's the one that you're thinking of
And I can't believe that he is gone (no)
And she's the one that took your love away
Away, away, yeah, yeah, hey, hey

I can't believe it's true
That you're not in my life, life
So tell me where did we go wrong? Ooh baby
So now that you're gone
All I do is count the days
I'm sorry that you didn't wanna stay
But I will be loving you anyways, yeah, yeah, yeah

And I can't believe (oh, no)
That she's the one you really love (you really love)
And I can't believe
That she has your heart (has your heart)
'Cause it seems to me (seems to me, yeah)
She's the one that you're thinking of
And I can't believe that he is gone
And she's the one that took your love away

Sooner or later you're gonna see (see)
The mistake you've made, baby
And you're gonna run back to me (back to me, ohh)
And you never should've made me cry (made me cry)
And, boy, let me tell you why
'Cause you had the best, the very best
That's why I can't believe that you've gone away, no

And I can't believe (I can't believe it)
That she has your heart

She's the one that you're thinking of
And I can't believe that he is gone
And she's the one that took your love

And I can't believe (away, away, away, away)
That she's the one you really love (I can't believe you love her)
And I can't believe (away, away)
That she has your heart (away, away, seems to me)
'Cause it seems to me (away, away, away, away)
She's the one that you're thinkin' of
And I can't believe that he is gone (can't believe)
And she's the one that took your love from me

And I can't believe (from me)
That she's the one you really love (from me)
And I can't believe (from me, yeah)
That she has your heart
'Cause it seems to me (ohh)

No Tears On My Pillow

Ooh
Now it's official
You're out of my life
Too many tears I've cried
I'm leaving the moments
Behind on the shelf
Believing in you
Was hard for myself

All your apologizes
Outside the door
I can't waste my time on you anymore
I've fallen much deeper than this before

[Chorus]
There's no tears on my pillow
No room for crying
No tears on my pillow
I left them behind
And I found me a better place
Somewhere inside
And I know I won't cry these tears any more

Can't say I'm selfish
I trust in my heart
I know what I want
And it tears you apart
Don't worry about me
Thinking of you
My days are filled
With too much to do

The whole world is waiting
For me to explore
I can't waste my time on you anymore
I've fallen much deeper than this before

[Chorus]

No regrets, no sadness
You're not the first and you're not the last man
Somehow you had me trapped in your web
But it won't be raining
When I hang my head down, oh

No tears on my pillow
I left them behind
And I found me a better place
Somewhere inside
And I know I won't cry these tears
Won't cry these tears anymore, ooh
Tears on my pillow, ooh
No more tears on my pillow, oh

For the First Time

[Intro]
I can't explain why I'm feeling for you so bad
Let's do this
For the first time

[Verse 1]
It's funny that it seems like yesterday
When we first met up on the stairway
You were so fly... you made me shy away
But unfortunately I pretended that I could not stay
And now

[Midverse]
I don't know what's just come over me but suddenly
I've got the urge to feel your body soakin' wet right next to me
I can't explain why I'm feeling for you so bad but maybe we'll find out
Tonight for the first time

[Hook]
For the first time

[Verse2]
So now you're here but I don't know what to do
'Cause it's been so long since we, both me and you
Have talked, have kissed
But there's only one person on this earth
I know that I've missed

[Midverse]
I don't know what's just come over me but suddenly
I've got the urge to feel your body soakin' wet right next to me
I can't explain why I'm feeling for you so bad but maybe we'll find out
Tonight for the first time

[Hook]
For the first time

[Bridge]
Now I know I've always wanted you
Was too afraid to make a move
Ashamed to let all of my feelings show
When I heard you were coming to town
I hoped that you would come around
I got some things to say that you should know
But I don't know what's just come, come over me
But suddenly I've got the urge your body your body right next to me
I can't explain why I'm feeling
But maybe we'll find out tonight for the first time

[Midverse]
I don't know what's just come over me but suddenly
I've got the urge to feel your body soakin' wet right next to me
I can't explain why I'm feeling for you so bad but maybe we'll find out
Tonight for the first time
[Repeat 1X]

Man In My Life

[Verse One]
They'll be no darkness tonight
Baby our love will shine (light in your love)
We've had our share of bad times
But now we're in paradise (loving each other right)
You're every wonder in this world to me
I'll never let my baby leave me

[Hook]
Even though we've been through ups and downs
You know I'll always be around
Why did you do me that way
But I still love you baby
Why did you hurt me that way babe
Cause you will always be the man in my life

[Verse Two]
Won't you lay back in my tenderness
Let's make this a night we won't forget
Boy I need your sweet caress
So, let's forget about those other days
We'll make 'em all just fade away
And never ever let nobody come between us
I never wanna lose your trust now

[Sub-Hook]
Baby babe even though that I'm a pretty young thang
You messed up and you did some wrong thangs
But I don't give a damn 'cause you will always be my man

[Hook]
Even though we've been through ups and downs
You know I'll always be around
Why did you do me that way
But I still love you baby
Why did you hurt me that way babe
'Cause you will always be the man in my life

[Bridge]
When you left I thought about so many things
And boy I never wanna feel this way again
I got petrified and lost my self control
I don't ever want you to go nowhere
Don't ever want you to leave
Don't go nowhere (don't leave me baby)
Don't leave me babe (don't leave me baby)
Woh, oh, ooh

[Vamp Hook]
Ooh boy let me keep you warm
You are the man
Fill you with the sweetest love
Always the man
Lay back in my tenderness
You are the man
Rock me with your sweet caress
Always the man

[Overlap Hooks]

Get Over (Outro)

Whoa-oh, whoa-oh
Hmm-hmm
Whoa-oh, whoa-oh
Hmm-hmm
Yeah

For anybody out there
If you're listening
Can I get a minute of your time?
Yeah, yeah
I got a little something that I've been wanting to tell you
(Tell you)
It's about this sweet, sweet, sweet journey of mine
You've been my force you're my strength
You're the source
And it's you that I thank
You're my everything yeah
Without you there's no me
Don't know where I would be
Now I see and I'm giving you thanks

You need to
Get over, get over, get over
Get over, get over, get over
Get over, get over
You need to
Get over, get over, get over
Get over, get over, get over
Get over, get over

Repeat 1 in background of ad-libs

Yo I gotta take the time to thank everybody that made this possible
All the people that believed in me
My mother, my father, my friends, my family
The record company, my management, my fans
But most of al thank you Lord
I want everybody to know
To stay strong and know that
No matter what the situation
We will get over, yes, yes

Come on will you fly with me
Come on will you fly with me
Fly let's get away
When I look inside of me
When I look inside I find a better place

Back to: Mya


Fear of Flying is the second studio album by American singer-songwriter Mya, released on April 25, 2000, by University Music Entertainment and Interscope Records. Following the success of her debut album Mya (1998), Interscope promptly allocated the singer studio time and assembled recording sessions beginning as early as September 1999 which concluded in March 2000. For this record, Mya made the conscious decision to become involved more creatively, opting to pen her own lyrics after securing a publishing deal to launch her own publishing company as well as collaborate with a wider range of established producers and songwriters on the album. Looking to embrace a more mature sound, Harrison consulted and collaborated with a bevy of producers which included Rodney Jerkins, Swizz Beatz, Wyclef Jean, Knobody, Robin Thicke, Tricky Stewart, and Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis.

A hip hop soul album, Mya described Fear of Flying as a metaphor for the ups and downs of life, a theme present throughout the album which includes handling things like an adult and knowing you must have faith to make anything happen. Lyrically, the album's material addressed the singer's romantic relationships which symbolized her relationship with family, friends and acquaintances. Noting that Fear of Flying is "a reflection of being in love for the very first time, experiencing success and the fears of fame."

Upon its release, the album received mixed reviews from music critics citing some of the album's "tepid material." Commercially well received, Fear of Flying debuted with a Top 20 placement at number 15 on the Billboard 200. Initially though, the album stalled on the charts until the release of the album's second single and in turn solidified Fear of Flying a hit garnering multiplatinum success. To keep the album's momentum, nearly seven months after its original release, Fear of Flying was re-released with two new additional songs on November 7, 2000.

In support of the album, three singles were released - "The Best of Me", "Case of the Ex", and "Free", which attained international chart success. Due to the album's success, Fear of Flying earned Soul Train Awards and MOBO nominations.

Considered her most expressive effort to date, Fear of Flying helped established Mya as a household name in mainstream media and redefine a golden age for R&B. In April 2020, to commemorate the album's twentieth anniversary, Universal Music Group released an expanded edition featuring over 10 rare remixes and bonus tracks.
